    Democrat/Muslim mayor of NYC claims to cut spending for transit, but is it really helping everyone?

    Edit; Formatting is hard, and I'm giving up on the joke. Fox would never admit to such truths even in a subscript at the bottom of an article.

    It's not too late to be a satirest. Practically the same skillset

    Satire dies when reality becomes this crazy.

    I honestly don't know how the onion is still in business when you have to try this hard to come up with something that actually feels satirical instead of just another normal headline in a sea of the unimaginable

    He has such an electable face. I wish I could vote for him

    He smiles with his whole face, it's like the polar opposite of the ghouls who's smile never touches their eyes.

    I know that kind of thing can be faked, but Mamdani just seems so fucking happy that he actually gets to help people.

    I fear for him.

    Gonna be honest, this is the worst best thing I've heard him do.

    Income based means testing policy is awful. I'd have to read more on how it's being implemented. Hopefully just a step towards free transit.

    Easy. Im not sure how they did it, but they can just piggyback it off something else like food stamps.

    So it could be - All riders who present an EBT card with their legal name on it are eligible for half price.

    Is it perfect? No, but it's a damn good and easy step in the right direction.

  • source

  • [–] 8 points 4 months ago (1 child)

    It's dumb but it's an existing 50% discount program he's just increasing the income limit. Probably the best thing about this is drawing attention to the program since most of the people eligible don't know it exists.

    Thanks. That's definitely better than I thought. That it was existing I mean. Doing all the infra required to add a means tested program did not sound like a Mamdani style policy. But just making it a less strict means test is a step in the right direction. Just better quality of life changes over and over from Mamdani. He's really selling sewer socialism well to New York.

    Clearly he's antagonizing hard workers by supporting lazy parasites that do nothing but take social support money and spend it on alcohol. This is how America dies. /s

    It's actually sorta difficult to find a picture of him where he's not talking or smiling. I found this one, and he's kind of unrecognizable:

    Only because him not smiling is so unnatural. It's real.

    THIS IS RACISM AND SEGREGATION. TWO TIER FARES

    and other attempts at framing it as bad

  • source

    I don't even think the talking heads have to do much editorializing before printing this one, much like they didn't do anything but post the word-for-word DSA platform in that viral photo of their anchor pointing at it incredulously.

    Their target audience already see this is as a clearly bad decision in that it benefits many poor(er) people at the expense of some rich(er) people; that's political suicide for the American Right in 2026.

    Mamdani is inviting the homeless to stay on the subway for a reduced cost while normal people pay the price.

    That's unfortunate. The situation was not helped by lack of scaffolding, i.e., no quotation marks, quote formatting, or "false" attribution.

    I didn't apologize because I didn't harm them. I asked if they were serious. Whatever harm you think happened is unrelated to my comment.

    I said it was "unfortunate" because, by the ratio of '1 initial upvote:entirely downvotes' they already had when I made my comment, other people had been confused like me and had just silently downvoted them.

    Yes, it was the victim's fault that you shot them because they were not wearing it. Don't shoot me vest. Clearly you thought they were an armed gunman we get that but you know context matters. You are on a shooting range.

    "Shot them". I asked if they were serious. Why are you pretending I've harmed someone by not understanding? I didn't even downvote him, as immaterial as that is. And it wasn't even like I insulted him in the process of asking.

    To fix your hit piece: it's like I saw someone with a gun and asked "what are you doing with that gun?". And then someone pointed out we were at a gun range.

    So, it looks like you can have unlimited travel around New York City for ~$75-150/month.

    I'm not too sure if this reflects the change or not (hence the range). https://www.mta.info/fares-tolls/subway-bus

    Honestly, that seems like a good deal to me. I don't live any place w/ public transportation.
