No you mean TRAIN mass transit. Clearly that was your intent.

You are of course absolutely required per Salon/San Fran dogma to utterly discredit BUS mass transit. Too bad really because so called 'flat' cities will never be able to afford the massive capital investment required to adequately cover their sprawl with rail.

But the flipside of that is that when fuel prices are very high, BUS mass transit may operate at a very large loss. And then what? How do flat cities afford it? Through what mechanism do they pay for it? Ratchet up fares? Tax everyone to hell and back?

Original article: No more legroom for bankers

I've never really understood the logic of that

Make people as ungodly burned out as possible BEFORE they try to reel in business. There's a great plan. I'll tell you what happens. People just REFUSE to travel and business suffers.

Perhaps your political opponents have the right idea then

Privatize the roads and make them fabulously expensive to use. People will naturally crowd onto trains and buses like the last cattle car to Sobibor. You don't even have to worry about providing good service since there aren't any options. Keep costs low and tell them how lucky they are to be able to meet new people.

If you can hire people remotely to work from home in upper middle class FauxMarxistan then you can hire people to work remotely from Bangalore. Be careful what you wish for. The future of sustainable employment in the US is in hands-on face to face jobs that can't be outsourced.

You've get to get these promises in in the next two weeks

Because remember, the last 2000 times you had special knowledge of tomorrow's war against Iran, you were right too. You've only got 2 more weeks to make these promises.

But you're the one who's not with the program. It's a violation of Liberal doctrine to have the gall the live 43 miles from your place of employment. What are you? Some kind of globalist fascist imperialist warmongering oil guzzler?

Pretty much the common theme of every contribution to every column is

Do whatever you like in the most utterly self centered narcissistic mode possible and toss everyone and everything that doesn't directly kiss your ass, straight into the ocean.

ho humm yawn

Once again the Salon Parrots are squawking about the War on Iran that not only 1 trillion percent will happen tomorrow before lunch, but already has because of the super secret Jewspiracy.

Don't you EVER get tired of being wrong? Ever?

Wrong about your thinly veiled prayers for war. The fringe left is the group that's had a hardon for war for 6 years. They (you?) think it will 'shame' the US a bit. Oooh look how brutish the white mon is. Don't you ever get tired of beating that drum no one's marching to?

How nice for you. You live in what? The 4th or 4th largest American city? No wonder there's mass transit. I live in the 43rd largest city with 380,000 people over an area of 120 sq miles. Of course we have more people that Minneapolis, Tampa, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, but we have 3 or 4x the land area of all of those places except Tampa which is geographically the same approx size. My county is 900,000 people over almost 860 sq miles. The SMA is twice that over three times that area.

So for a city the same population as Miami, Tulsa or Oakland, we simply have too much geography to cover. We can't afford mass transit coverage unless you'd like to pay for it.

Don't care about one, love the other

I'm an admin. I love the feature that cranks out canned responses. Salon letter scribblers hate it because they all imagine that their masturbatory scribblings are fine art. Everyone is dying to hear the next idiot poem by Klytus or Celery or the Pointed Pompous Head Diaries of Paul Ash.

The rest of us have shit to do and it's usually having to repeat ourselves to you assholes. Over and over and over.

The mind reels

Of course the Palin's of the world never seek out most medical care because they simply don't believe in it, much like voodoo life sciences, quantum physics, bioengineering all those other liberal commie queer lies.

No, just cross your fingers and hope he dies.

My soon to be ex wife, a smoker, used to pick and nag incessantly about my smoking until it just became easier to quit. She of course never did. Still does. It's not about smoking it's about power. It's about being a hammer and looking around for the next thing to crush.

I got to the first answer and stopped

Everything you need to know is in the first sentence and everything after that is I'm sure a prickly defense of that first sentence.

Next.

If FLA voters learned nothing in 8 years then what's the point at all?

Maybe FLA voters are too dumb to be trusted with the vote. Maybe we should just count their votes provisionally in case we have to for some reason unforeseen. Otherwise if the voters can't figure out how or where or when or what let alone who then let's just set aside FLA votes as a kind of beta test for the rest of the country.
