@marcjoffe The author even daydreamed about annexing Piedmont so Oakland could get more rich ppl. Maybe Vlad Putin becoming the mayor of Oakland and that would happen! ๐
@humantransit@RidleyDM@LindblomMc72511 Robotic for people who can afford but dislike driving. โTransit is for people whose time is less valuableโ - unfortunate consensus for both anti- & pro- transit people.
@notseeslasher@adamfeuerstein Donโt see any early detection studies that makes difference - Grailโs assay actually disappoints. The real hurdle is to convince healthy people spend $$$ on molecular imaging & whole body scan routinely.
@humantransit@headwaysmatter You stated very clearly that the union is the one standing between riders & services. Sometimes chemotherapy is justified.
@sirjayfrez@_fat_ugly_rat_@FlipperiPerri Fair enough for someone literally think human beings can be fed w/ petrochemicals in lieu of carbohydrates & proteins.
@the_transit_guy First, not true for transit (empty offpeak runs) & bike lanes (always empty except very popular routes). Second, there is a reason you own a bed not renting 8hrs per day.
@marcjoffe The โGrand Central of the Westโ has 6 tracks vs. the real one of 41 tracks. Even the much maligned East Side Access spent โonlyโ $11b on 2 mi of tunnel & a new 8-track, bilevel station in โaffordableโ Midtown Manhattan.
@humantransit@AndrewMillerYYZ Itโs the same for transit and any logistics operations - Amazon vans also dead-heading empty to the warehouses at the end of work day. Alarmist narratives to justify sunk cost of bloated transit-industrial complex.
@bryanculbertson@marcjoffe I never make that claim, and that is not even radical. Also I never use โtransbay tube train numberโ in any context. You just made things up.
