Deserves a repost since #SHSAT is a hot topic right now.

Video of the George Washington Bridge shows loose cement and clear instability. The structure looks worn down and unreliable right over heavy traffic. This is another example of New York City infrastructure in decline. Drivers pass under it daily like it’s normal, but it’s not.
New York City is dealing with failing roads, bridges, and systems that are not being properly maintained.
The George Washington Bridge is a key part of that. Decades of neglect have led to visible crumbling and safety concerns that should have been addressed long ago. Tax dollars are supposed to keep this infrastructure solid, yet here we are with pieces coming loose while people commute.
@ChrisAuriemma@GovKathyHochul Not every union is the same.
Unions are for the working class.
A “union” with members getting paid 200k with suburbans homes wanting to raise so train fares is raised for the actual working class is a hostage situation
This guy would probably make no more than $60K in the private sector, but we have to pay him $230K a year to sit in a chair and a pension forever at age 58 so NYC can have public transit.
Privatize the LIRR.
The recent strike threat by LIRR unions perfectly illustrates the core problem with government monopoly: captive riders (300,000+ daily) have no alternatives, so unions wield monopoly bargaining power backed by the ability to shut down service and extract concessions from politicians who spend other people’s money. Taxpayers foot the subsidies and bailouts; riders get the delays and higher fares.
Privatization ends the farce. Private owners face direct revenue loss from any strike and real competition (cars, buses, rideshares, or rival rail operators). They would negotiate market-driven contracts, cut waste, innovate on scheduling and fares, and deliver reliable service—or go broke. No more political theater, no more involuntary taxpayer underwriting of union power.
Government can’t run a railroad efficiently. Markets can. The strike threat proves it.
