    Anybody signing off on any single person making $100k a year in OT should be fired on the spot

    Do you want to clean the shitters at a public transportation hub? Me neither. Shut up and pay the man.

    A friend of mine's tabs for his truck went from $250 to $600.

    I don't understand the love for light-rail. A railroaded transportation system. I think bus-only lanes and elevated bus-only lanes in the bad traffic areas make much more sense. At least the buses can pursue and continue on their own individual routes on side-streets and major arterials after they by-pass the worst of the traffic. Light-rail works great for those who live within 5-6 blocks of a station, not so much for everyone else. That light rail system will be obsolete by the time they finish it. I left Seattle, because of the traffic and lack of sun.

    Our light rail here is legit.

    It's fixed location is actually it's biggest advantage because you build around it.

    The main issue is that the overhead lines are expensive and ugly.
    Once we have a better leap in battery technology and as cities keep getting denser it'll make more sense than it does now.

    It's almost like rail transport has never been tried and been successful in other developed countries or something

    It was tried here in the 1850's.

    Since then, new technology has emerged.

    Hi. White Americans don't ride buses.

    I left Seattle because of the elevated level of faggotry and arrogant lack of leadership across virtually every facet of life (#gosonics).

    Getting rid of the shit tier NBA is one of the few good things Seattle has done in the past 20 years.
