Fixing what you have isn't sexy. A politician can't claim credit for cleaning the track switches, or making sure a underground platform has adequate ventilation. A Shiney new station or elevator can be on local TV.

even the ADA projects the rabbit is referring too will add about 500 elevators to what we have now, and we can't maintain what we have now.

Want to make over 100k a year in three years?
learn to fix elevators and escalators and work for transit.

True. Still annoying though.

With that said, don't get me wrong, my Boston bias and ego would make me ride an MBTA train every day rather than go on the New York lines....but that's just us up here hating NY just because.

If you work for a contractor and not the authority you can make real money. Its a shame more folks don't go into railroad engineering.

It was either that or study genocide and I clearly choose the much more depressing option.


Not for nothing I am hoping there isn't a lot of work in the genocide business.

There lives a girl in Boston
A girl that I love well
If ever I gain my liberty
It's with that girl I'll dwell
If ever I gain my liberty
There are two things I'll shun
That being a night street walker
And drinking of the rum

You don't want to know the answer to that.

This is true.

In other true stories, it turns out an old family rumor is true. My great uncle taught Jerry Lewis how to tap dance. Turns out he was friends with Jerry's dad.

Emotional Support Crocodile has a point. The mists of time have dimmed the memory, but in the Before Times there were dedicated attempts by certain moderators to end TET. Those moderators may not be around anymore, ravaged by the tribulations inflicted upon them by NationStates General and worse, but we cannot be certain. One of those moderators may be behind you right now.

So......TET has its own ghost story. Good to know :p
