We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Climate... it's the end of the world and I feel fine. All the news that's fit to print by the gatekeepers of record espoused by the experts and science grifters... or is that the grifting scientists all knighted as experts by government funded NGO's.
If I read the post correctly, he said the subway is safe as long as you know you are prey and keep your head on a swivel to watch for predators. If you have to do that, I would not consider that mode of transportation all that safe.
He doesn't give advice for what to do if a flash mob comes through. Apparently flash mobs must be a rare event on trains.
The only mass transit I would consider is a self-driving vehicle with only well known associates in the vehicle. Any other kind I would require standing room with an Uzi on a sling and my back to a wall. Many transit riders, of the questionable kind, do not buy tickets and are there only to harass, steal, rob or kill time. No thanks, not for me. Long ago I served a 3 year hitch at little pay and not a bit interested in an extension.
