Perhaps New York needs to pressure wash out some of the barnacles, bureaucrats, and featherbedders out of the works. Any really old ' public works' is bound to have built up a crust that needs flushing.
Bezos makes the people running Walmart look like pikers. And yet the shrill condescension of so many towards Walmart, who have no problem keeping up their Prime subscription from Amazon. Is it because Bezos buffers them from the unclean deplorables by requiring the delivery dude to regularly change into a fresh uniform?
Every dollar spent 'on the pentagon' is going to well-paid workers in defense industry production. I know it makes the left furious to acknowledge this, but Daddy Warbucks just skims a small fraction off the top.
Who, pray tell, is burning as much fuel as possible? Is there some club of enthusiasts we should be made aware of? Or are you just spinning up ludicrous BS?
I had a defective stopwatch that I bought at a yard sale this summer. The stopwatch function didn't seem to work at all. I paid a quarter for it, so it wasn't any big deal. But then it landed somewhere in the house in a junk pile. And somehow the alarm function started working at about 11 pm. So every night I heard it beeping until a timeout, but could never locate it by the timeout. By then I had forgotten entirely about the stopwatch so I really wasn't even certain what I was looking for. It also emitted a single beep once an hour at about the:40 point. It took me days to finally track down and figure out what was beeping once an hour and alarming every night.
I logged out of Google on my Android phone. I don't use Gmail. Google probably has a level of tracking they can still do, but it's significantly reduced. The Amazon app store and other alternatives have plenty of apps.
Apparently Microsoft has been learning from Apple. I am so glad I opted to buy a retail-box copy of Windows 7 instead of using Windows 10. And so glad that SeaMonkey is in pkgsrc on NETBSD.
No, just somebody who never really posts anything nerd-related on this site. Basically, a political shill intruder. A comical one sometimes, but clearly somebody who doesn't belong here.

Why a weight requirement? A head tax is more equitable.
Can we afford to import all the additional shoe leather from Argentina?
Revenue should be allowed to drop if there are fewer passengers. That's just how it works when fewer busses and subway cars are running.
Merchandise, not passengers. You don't need to travel except for recreationally.
What about a good stiff shoe tax for pedestrians? They shouldn't pay their fair share?

Also a pro-rated battery disposal and rare-earth mine taling disposal tax. I think we can afford to be forward thinking.
OMG! You've never caught a face full of fumes from one of those dirty city busses? Where do I go to join you in this dream world?
Also, we're doing away with 'tax exempt' license plates on busses and municipal vehicles? Correct?
Inefficiencies and crony capitalists.
Where did you get the time machine? Does everybody in 1998 dress like you?
Why are you projecting racism?
"We hatezes Scott Walker" says Gollum.
Yeah, but try that with "counterfeit Maxim integrated circuits". Can't be done in Detroit. Shenzhen? No problem!
How would a patent from 1957 be currently held? In a brass frame?
I was pondering what 600 watts at 40,000 volts would be like when it meets a flock of geese.

A company that started out as a game developer, then put DRM on it, then switched to being a pure DRM distributor.
I'm so glad there are alternatives.

In other words 'Orange Man Bad' since you've only presented a parody version of President Trump.
