Your post was about IBX not being extended into the Bronx. Why are you arguing with me about the light rail vs heavy rail debate?

The fact that we could even get a new rail service plan for Brooklyn and Queens in general is a miracle. I’m all for expansion to the Bronx, but having that provision from the beginning will absolutely distract and derail the MTA from the whole project bc the Bronx part of the IBX involves complications that the rest of the IBX doesn’t. It sucks, and I think the MTA can be useless, but at this point I’m just happy they’re pursuing the IBX at all. Better start with the current plan and then attempt to expand to the Bronx

incredibly likely, one of the departments I know of would keep known alcoholics on the job but just shove them in office jobs, where they’d be useless drunks and rot for the rest of the years taking up taxpayers dollars.

I can promise you that if people actually investigated the FDNY, your main complaint wouldn’t be parking. All fire departments need to be investigated— at this point people are ok with overlooking fire departments because they’re not cops, but I can tell you right now firefighters get away with heinous shit because of their close relationship with the police. Firefighters that say “yea fuck the police we’re not them!!!!” still probably get off with a slap on the wrist for issues (i.e. drunk driving) that would put them in serious trouble
