By the way, no bus goes from my house to my destination. Not one.
Ever.
About 15 years ago a bus came within 2 1/2 miles of my home twice a day.
Then the paper mill shut down and that was the only reason for the run.

What can we conclude from that?
Choose one:
Public transportation will never work because you have to wait 90
minutes for a bus
or
If more people took the bus they would run them more frequently so the
wait is minimal. Very convenient and cost effective.
Right. And to get it going it may need to run at a loss... though that \"loss\"
really is still a gain for society and the environment.
Anything running at a loss is stupid.
It is a loss only from a very myopic view point. The big picture matters.
But let\'s all scrounge off others shall we?
Let\'s invest in our own society so we are ALL better off.
Typical Jew.
Not sure what the means, other than antisemitic nonsense.

The War On Poverty deliberately created an underclass of fatherless
kids.
Why would giving people more money make their fathers leave home?
Women got a place to live in a project and benefits if they had kids
and no husband.
I knew welfare case workers who knocked loud on a door and waited for
the boyfriend to put on his pants and leave out the back.
Someone said that the Black family survived transportation, survived
slavery, survived the Civil War, survived reconstruction, survived Jim
Crow, but didn\'t survive the War On Poverty.
Incentives work.
Someone said? You sound like that idiot trump.
I see no indication in your citations that it was deliberate. That\'s
the part that requires a cite.

2 hours by car, 6 hours by public transport. Dafuq?
Even more ridiculous, 6 hours by public transport, 7 hours by bicycle!
Public transport is hardly faster than a bicycle!
1 day on foot! Trains go a whole 4 times faster than me walking!
Just close them down.

No, as only one person uses it.
Not true. They have a plate that says [SP], that is, Public Service.
Same as Buses.

Oh, yeah. If you read carefully one thing the Mountain Line is very,

Are they of the same party?
No. Jon Tester is a Democrat, Steve Daines is a Republican. On some
things Tester is a better Republican than a lot of the RINOs. He hasn\'t
committed yet but he, Manchin, and Sinema may sink Julie Su. A Democrat
in a red state who is up for election next year has to walk a fine
line. He is vulnerable and knows it.
Makes sense. But good they can get stuff done and not just blame the
other.

People won\'t use buses just because there\'s more of them.
They avoid them because they have more convenient cars. Buses are for the
poor. Let them walk.

You invest in a company, because it gives you money back when it does well.
You don\'t invest in a society. You just feed the lazy and useless, creating a
population of weak people. Stop using silly libtard buzzwords.
Typical Jew.

Aww boo hoo, the religious nutters get upset when we make fun of them. Anyone
believing in god needs removed from the gene pool.

You\'ve just described uber.
A better model would be many people requesting a ride, and vans
picking several people up at nearby places and dropping them at nearby
places.
Do that in some parts of the US and we\'ll be reading about you in the

Next year will be nasty. There will be a lot of out of state money on both

You know what they say about the road to hell... I wouldn\'t put it past
LBJ though. The problem I see:
1965 good idea
1970 not working as well as intended
1975 still not working
1980 no joy
1985 Midnight Basketball!
1990 oh, shit they\'re slinging crack on the basketball courts
1995 Personal Responsibility and Work Oportunity Act
2000 another fail
Sounds like the definition of insanity to me and after almost 60 years
there has to have been a lot of deliberation along the way.
