Ok. Hands up. How many of you here walk 20+ minutes daily? Or how about when was the last time you walked anywhere, at all, for a solid 20 minutes?

Not defending the guy, but from a bunch of keyboard nerds like us, I am sure we’d also choose to drive as opposed to walking 20 minutes.

I get that it’s fun to point and laugh at the rich guy complaining about $9, but the issue he raises seems legitimate. His residence, his car, and his kids are all outside of the congestion zone but because of how the streets are laid out he has to briefly drive into the congestion zone when going around the block in…

It’s a half assed solution to an actual problem. Richie Rich here should be overjoyed that the streets are being cleared of the riff raff but he is a miser of Dickensian stature.

It’s stupid, it will be mismanaged and only cause inconvenience for rich, not so rich and poor people regressively. It will never meaningfully fund anything, will be fraught with management issues and waste and will be ultimately abandoned.

Thank you! There are way too many questions than answers thus far. The 737 has enough redundancies that it seems implausible that the aircraft post-bird strike was somehow controllable down to the runway, but not controllable enough to deploy the gear (which has a manual gravity drop function) or the flaps, which also…

Still no decent explanations on so many aspects of this:

Still, I’d rather meet a random person on the street with my birthday than poop uncontrollably with them!

This. The actual rate is really low.

That was my first thought.

1,894 sick passengers out of more than 17 million passengers leaving US ports?

This is both hilarious and tragically accurate. But let’s not forget about “Kevins”, who possess traits from both the Kyle and Chad groups, but are often characterized by aggressive stupidity and being perpetually stuck in 8th grade.

Thanks for the explanation.  It makes sense what you’re saying, but it doesn’t make sense at the same time.  I guess the underlying lack of logic is what’s so confusing.

I’m sorry I know this, BUT

I thought “Chad” had something to do with Florida presidential elections. That’s how old I am.

A Chad is a good thing? I thought it was a male Karen. I’m so confused with slang today. I miss the tubular, bodacious days.

Don’t let the Seattle example fool you. I lived that life for a decade, and it is difficult. Seattle is very hilly, and from October through April, you can assume it’s going to be 42 degrees and raining. The transit options are good, but you are going to be walking uphill in the cold rain most of the time to get to…

I did more than a decade of using public transportation as my primary mode of travel.  Nothing makes me happier than being able to avoid the consistent problems that arise from depending on someone else to drive the vehicle.

Eh, I support Amazon over the Teamsters any day of the week. Screw ‘em, I’ll happily wait. Heck, toss an optional fee to avoid a union run shop and I’ll even pay that. Parasites.

Hope they get fired. Fuck these unions

On the one hand, the average worker everywhere needs to take this moment to push back hard for their rights as the billionaires all fly in to kiss the ring and the Trump administration loads up the government with grifters (while does nothing to avoid self enrichment). In a time where CEOs are getting more protection…
