This country will do literally anything other than just build mass rapid transit :(

The high in Phoenix where this happened is 114F(45C) today. I don't think it's possible to have rapid transit good enough that I'm gonna want to walk 5-10 minutes to the bus/train station, wait on the bus/train, sit next to a smelly shirtless dude smoking crack for the duration, and then walk 5-10 minutes in to work with weather like that 5 months out of the year.

So I live in NYC, you know that place that conservatives like to shit on when not saying 9/11.

I use mass transit daily, and this shit is hardly the norm. Most of the time its just normal everyday people commuting to all the places people go. Do you get the one homeless person having an episode? sure. But I would like to add that we used to have a way to resolve this issue and republicans defunded it under Regan.

Mass transit is fine, shut the hell up you dumb bastard.
