3% if you’re just talking inflation. What about the interest you could have collected if you invested that money today, rather than collecting on what is essentially an annuity? Could be even higher, you know?

6.1 innings? Come on... Coming up on 3rd time through the order - probably not keeping that thing going.

Also cool

Get in one accident and tell me that. 

Metro North. LIRR. Low income people are also eligible for subsidized public transportation. And, the second you get into a fender-bender any whole calculus about lower transportation costs is out the window. I bet average commute time, given constant driving clusterfucks is probably the same, or less on mass transit.…

Yeah I meant operating surplus

For anyone to whom this car would appeal, this is a quality example at a fair price. So, nice price. 

Yeah - is this car objectively “good?” Probably not, but it’s definitely become cool. 

Gotcha

I don’t understand that logic. It’s not a race. Assuming you can get to highway speed in the time it takes to drive the length of a standard interstate on-ramp, which is really long. Our ‘09 Fit has 117 hp at 2550 lbs. I never have a problem winding her up and getting her going.

Frozen Charleston Chew is best in life

This is an interesting point. I’m guessing if these London pizzerias has an Amazon style supply chain rather than just flying them over on BA at exorbitant cost it would be different

We have those in NY too, pal

How? If it’s a percentage, it’s cumulative.  3% of $5 + 3% of $5 = 3% of $10, unless there’s an additional per-transaction fee.

And for restaurants that lose money

Oh, I don’t want to divert that traffic that’s on the FDR. I want it to disappear. 

Yeah, I get that there are a lot of areas in the outer boroughs that are under-served by mass transit. I also understand that budgeting and construction timelines dictate that any kind of real mass transit expansion would occur so far down the road as to render any benefits of expansion more or less meaningless to…

“Too lazy to walk 8 blocks?” Get out of here, pal. You’re totally full of it with your condescending “what about the little guy” take. What does being a single parent have to do with your mode of travel to work? Why would the working poor drive in when that’s far more expensive than taking public transit, which serves…

Well, it doesn’t really exist to make a profit - breaking even is more the goal, but I guess the term I should have used is operating surplus. In that if the MTA is already running the maximum number of trains it can run, then increased ridership is purely a benefit. Then the MTA can direct more of its revenue to…

What single parents are driving to fucking Manhattan???
