confused in a delay daze...

freedom of speech is a thing, right?

ok

with the current climate, i'm truly confused about everything...

so, i'm free to voice my opinion, diplomatically?

simpathetic & politely, blah blah,

but, if you're forcing it upon others, that's another thing,

so, 💭

freedom of speech is a "right"?

and your opinion is sort of a "privilege"?

for the simple-minded folk out there, just another example,

maybe your unaware of,

is "driving" a "privilege", or is a "right"?

before you utilize your entitled iq to explain or respond,

make sure your facts are in order, so grown folk can discuss grown folk shit,

[plenty of search engines, if not, the library is also free].

with that randomly said,

let me move on to my next "random rambles" to disrupt or tickle your brain waves,

any individual that has actually visited nyc [or any zity] has experienced taking public transportation at least once, [if not shame on you lol]

just mentioning it has upset me a bit [ptsd] because our old ass systems make no fucking sense,

a brilliant concept when it was built for a tamer population,

but not anticipating future expansion? whoa!

who the fuck overlooked that shit?

hindsight is 20 20,

wit lack luster upkeep, heavily funded but sketchy execution, it has come a long, looooonnnnngggg ass way from the old days of delays,

poor management,

crime,

ongoing repairs or "re-development" projects,

fare hikes,

crumbling stations, some flooding,

raggedy equipment,

and no offense,

unfriendly employees, customer services has been declining for years,

oh wait,

those issues still persist to date,

it's like we are stuck in some twilight zone blak mirror episode,

don't take my word for it,

don't just open the box, think outside it,

action speaks louder, [do a history search of the subway and railroad industry for more context]

or just go take public transit twice or more a day, 7 days a week for 52 weeks,

and you tell me if i'm lying,

outsiders won't make it a year here, without tough skin, lmfao,

only the strong will survive the underground subway systems in zities across the world!

"etiquettes must be thought, or actions be felt",

some advice,

stop holding the fucking doors in the station, before you get a spartan kick to the chest,

no pity for the stupidity in this zity,

we are meme city, don't get caught in a digital trap,

according to reports tho,

our great zity has been experiencing a great deal of pressures,

due to the "bully" covid extorting us of valuable time and funding,

crime is fucking up, very purge like aura feeling on the horizon!

i get it, boo who, we're still recouping and suffering from,

the lockdowns,

obese rents that need a diet,

a fleeing population,

the work @ home mistake, lol,

"inflation", bad investments,

the loud secret of "recession",

elections, the corruptions,

delayed projects,

budget cuts,

just straight despair, political red tape & negative energy...

why are we still dealing with problems that have been persisting for years,

on top of years,

on top of more fucking years before 2020 hit,

yet we still have to pay our taxes righteously and see no results nor solutions?

just "excuses"& 3rd degree fund misusage, wolves in sheeples clothing,

this is just a random citizen's observation

..!.

can citizens defund the pettitians ["petty politicians", you will see that word a lot]?

i'm not point fingers, just inquiring for the culture, and the communities [nations] across the board ...

i'm going to use one example for now and be out,

but trust, there will be plenty more to come...

[let me set the scene]:

in such an intricate zity franchise, many people take public transportations because honestly it should be "quicker", "shorter" than a cab, or walking,

and "cheaper" by far,

however, there're consequences to being chauffeured around in million-dollar public limousines in ancient tunnels...

side note from a zity dweller,

"you can leave super early and still be fucking late",

it's really a dice roll in these underground streets!

destination time: 37 minutes

stops: 7

departure: 8:07am

eta: 8:45am [ish]

[after a 1hr delay stuck on the train]

*bing bong [you know the sound]

conductor: "once again, sorry for the delays and thank you for choosing mta"

random customer: "fuck you, you're not welcome, we got no other choice!!! [animatedly waving they hands around]

another customer: "how rude and inconsiderate of them believing we give a fuck and understand why this shit literally happens daily in this zity"

*grunts of agreement

*silence again...

*no movement...

10 minutes later...

[bing bong]

conductor: "we have a train in front of us; we will be moving shorty"

*louder grumbles throughout the train...

customer: "motherfucker you said that shit an hour ago, paid liars on the clock"

another customer: "with our tax money"

arrival: 9:43 am

welcome to "frustrated zity",

even if you jump the turnstile, you still going to be caught by delays, cause that's the mantra of the "establishment",

no hate just facts,

feel this rage because we have to deal with ya'll bullshit every day,

mad excuse yet slow solutions, smh ..!.

you aren't paying my bills, just adding stress to the fucking process,

get y'all shit together!

this is to my hometown,

new yorkers [zity dwellers] need to stop pussy footing around and being fucked by weak dicks in influential seats,

karma don't discriminate only we do, and look how that got us,

bully them out your communities, expose they insecurities,

stop allowing these "pettitians" to manipulate your votes for;

influence,

pet projects,

useless policies,

personal profits,

and filling donor's pockets with community currency,

they just stroking their constituent's pity for dollars [and votes of course], lol!

i believed it was a "privilege" to utilize public transportation, why i pay my fare,

it has lost its benefits, and appeal,

seems like it's a "right" now [or maybe it was before],

that's why it's not respected, easy access that lacks proactive oversight,

we should treat the subway like the club culture,

pay to play, id checks, security that rock jaws, amenities that attract riders,

i'm just randomly saying shit now but why not make it attractive & effective...

i know a "rehaul" is on its way,

i've just been waiting for it for like 10 years now,

put actions to the promises, and watch the growth of our investment,

or ridership will decline from filtered lies the public was fed, and the broken promises,

cancel culture is real ..!.

my grandmother always said "if you don't listen, you will feel"...

"make sense of history teaching us we don't make sense",

yet we still think we are "moving forward" investing in ignorance & idiots,

i'm just broadly speak here,

we're all part of the problem because we voted for promises & excuses,

ignored solutions like science and community building,

now somebody got to pay for all this stupidity, plus interest, and who do you think those "somebodies" are?

we ain't ostrich, if you know the analogy,

take your head out sand and demand they take they hands out our pockets without tangible progress...

peace + blessing, karma coming to a situation near you!
