Reply to comment by El_Gato in Impending fiscal cliff ‘will destroy MTA’ without state aid: watchdog by LunacyNow

How is this clickbait?

Edit: the MTA is a monopoly. Theyre trying to shake down the govt for our tax dollars or else theyre going to cut jobs and services. They claim ridership is down since COVID and for some reason they think taxpayers should foot the bill.

They will never, ever, cut jobs. Certainly not the untold thousands of no-show shifts. They will cut services

Do you know what happens when you let people go and then need them back once ridership goes up?

You pay a shitload of overtime since plenty won't return. Great deal for us, pay out even more in overtime!
