We live in a society, scholar. Asking someone to pay the subsidized fare for mass transit to go to Manhattan isn’t facist by even the dumbest college freshman’s standards.

Laws that punish the poor should not be enforced.

This is pretty condescending. My family was poor but we had enough dignity to pay $2.60 when we take the path.

I was in Montreal recently and I went to use their public subway, I bought the card that I thought best suited my needs for 20 bucks. After which a local told me that it's free on the weekends. Could've just walked right on. I made a joke that I'm an American and am so used to being abused financial by my government that I just walk around holding out a 20 dollar bill and apologizing. It's crazy that we pay such high taxes and then RE- pay for "public" transportation, tolls etc. Not to mention all the other shit we double and triple pay for.

I know. But clearly people don’t understand. They still like to give tax breaks to corps and billionaires.

They complain about their rents and other problems and don’t realize that it all comes down to businesses buying politicians who make laws that protect billionaires and corporations. The problem isn’t with poor people.
