    If your job is indirectly about murdering people, you’re just a soldier and this is war. It is the Nuremberg defense, the “I was just following orders” excuse.

    I’m no fan of shitty drivers and I think if we live in a world where license suspensions are a thing, that’s fine but don’t be surprised when stuff like this happens when public transit sucks. It may exist but there’s a reason why a lot of folks prefer their car over poorly funded public transit.

    Have you thought about why public transit is poorly funded and developed?

      Did you reply to the right person? I’m not sure how your comment is relevant to mine. I’m well aware of why public transit is poorly funded and developed.

      Because the automotive industry actively dismantled it in the early twentieth century and then lobbied ever since to redirect funding to highway maintenance? The largest single government project in existence in the US National Highway System.
