They get a big bow placed on top of them and get presented to a politically connected scrapping operation, most likely.

Given the nature of how the pandemic and the economic crash is going to kill the economy and transit use for a long time to come, the logical way to deal with this and the now equally pointless Portal Bridge project would be to ash-can it. I feel like I can predict this course of action will be...

NYSE employees are required to present a paid parking stub and the keys to a Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce, or Bentley when entering, or a photo showing them in the backseat of a black Lincoln Town Car.

@SarahZ Tag, you’re it.

The Viaggio design is available in EMU format iirc

Dude, you are dating yourself. 👆 That is a California car in 2020. lol

The purpose is to wage a war on transit dependent people, who are viewed as disease carriers, poor, unwashed, and irrelevant.

Nonsense. You wash your hands as you are leaving, hold the handle with a protective layer and touch nothing else after doing so, and you will be fine. The virus spreads almost exclusively from the nose and mouth; if your hands are sanitized and you don’t make a habit of licking the walls of...

My wife cleans toilets along with the rest of peoples houses. I can assure you she isn’t paid a pittance to do so.

I have seen nonunionized businesses of Which Hades has nothing on the restrooms of.

Would you do the world a favor and stop attempting to justify institutional laziness? Working or dealing with this mess isn’t in anyone’s job description. Yet we all pitch in and do what we must.

Wikipedia will explain it just as easily as I could. They exist in the United States as well, in high end establishments, as well as, for various reasons, Flea Markets. The job pays little; actually at one flea market I know, Englishtown, they actually charge them for the gig, and they provide...

The solution is simplicity itself! We will just threaten and cajole other countries into simply accepting US regulations. You know, as opposed to the US accepting a variety of common best practices regulations that are more commonly incorporated across various countries than they are...

Glad he enjoyed it. My wife and I have known dozens of people who worked for Disney during their college tenures. Their stories indicate that your friend was the exception, not the rule. You want a solution now? Oy gevaldt, all I am doin' is kvetcshn about problems, and a solution you now...

I didn't say it stopped at Disney, although they are a particularly bad example. I have never been one to stand on a platform of attempting to indicate equality, equitability, or even vaguely reasonable labor practices in this country; I may be crazy, but I'm not THAT far gone.
