Public transit fares are generally malformed. I personally never pay the LA Metro fare. Why? Because I pay the Metrolink fare, which by their own admission covers same-day Metro transit. But police will actively seek me out as a person who looks like they have money and give me a hard time for not “tapping”, all while folks who very clearly have no money waltz on into the metro, stopping only to smoke crack on the elevator up. There’s a general problem in this country of what to do with law breakers who do not have money. It seems like the answer is to make them work and garnish their wages, but for whatever reason we are against that.
Yea the police are always giving such a hard time to people who don't look poor. It's so unfair that someone who can and does apparently pay for public transit has to prove they did.
"poor people have had it too good for too long and slavery is the only answer. I consider myself a pragmatic centrist"
jesus fuck, this is racist in so many different ways simultaneously that I’m trying to imagine what living like this person must feel like, living this existence where they assume all the “poor-looking” (yeah) people sharing public transit with them must be smoking crack and stealing fare and therefore deserve slavery
like fuck, that kind of existence is just a pit of despair you can’t leave, isn’t it?
e: and literally the only thing that happened to them is they had to pull up a receipt on their phone or whatever! and meanwhile people who look poor (to them) had the audacity to exist near them! fucking ordinary shit is what made them like this! minor inconveniences produced this Level of racial hatred! what in the fuck!
big failed art student energy isn't it?
Every coke head businessman ever more like ...
"I have a legitimate Metrolink fare and should not be hassled when I don't tap. These other people who don't look like me obviously do not have the Metrolink fare and should be hassled when they don't tap."
Scrooge was a fucking pussy and he should have told those ghosts to suck him in hell
so as I was reading that I was forming a sneer along the lines of “ghosts transcending both time and death to show me the consequences of my worldview is a classical fallacy, checkmate Dickens” but they just fucking go for it there at the end
Appeal to thanatority!
Appeals to fiction are a fallacy. Not let me explain why X group is bad based on an extremely contrived hypothetical.
heh yeah saw that one too. and they have some other remarkable glittering shitgems in their posting history
