And to think this is what conservatives think a good, bootstrappy businessmen is.

How did Trump make his money?

Come on. Ten seconds is a long time to think about something for these people. And besides, they have alternative understanding now...

Really? You think weak unions is France’s secret? Are you misinformed or just blindingly ignorant?

Ard you really that obtuse?

No, because France expects employers to pay a living wage and provide safe and comfortable working conditions as a matter of course; not have them clawed out of developers kicking and screaming.

There has never ( not since the founding era, at least ) been a president so openly hostile to his predecessor or so focused on undoing anything with their predecessor’s fingerprints on it. It’s bizarre. It doesn’t even matter what it is that’s being undone. Nothing is too small, too insignificant, too petty.

Anybody can build a building or a statue. A souffle requires mastery and I expect some kind of witchcraft.

Chris Christie shot this down well before Trump was involved. Maybe blame all the politicians on both sides that don’t want to address our shit falling apart.

I’ve been saying for a while that Trump is not a president, but and anti-president, since erasing anything bearing his predecessor’s name is the only thing he’s actually driven to do.

You don’t think rich people will be able to get the laws changed if things get bad enough? Most of the city’s politicians are probably more Helicopter & Limo demographic than Subway & Bus demographic.

Yes we are going to act like that, because Trump is the one who wants to kill the project. Yes, the tunnel should have been done ages ago, but it is behind schedule because Chris Christie killed the previous attempt to do it (after many millions had been spent).

“I don’t believe that small things can grow to affect big things” is the mentality that unravels most large organizations/systems/empires eventually, so at least we’re at par for the course.

Near zero of those are meaningful achievements that have made things better for anyone who isn’t a rich white guy.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense as long as you don’t understand how anything works or think about it for more than ten seconds.

Alright, sounds good. Just give us back the appropriate portion of our tax money then. Why should NY fund anywhere else?

You mean like how Trump found the money to build his ‘wall’?

This is how NYC becomes Sao Paulo. Helicopters everywhere.

Better a tax-and-spend liberal than a cut-and-spend “conservative” - look what the GOP has done; they’ve cut revenue by 1.5 trillion dollars, then the increased spending by hundreds of millions more.

At first,I was looking at this like the no-brainer that it is,trying to figure out why he’s willing to throw a gazillion dollars at some stupid wall because of “campaign promises” vs. a very real and present issue in the form of this tunnel.
