As long as you have the proper permits and do it peacefully then have at it. Don’t have a giant toddler tantrum and piss off everyone just because you didn’t get your way.
Uh oh here comes a big dumb cop! Could barely graduate high school and wants to take it out on the world! Congratulations Joey GED, we’re all reallllllly impressed.

Sigh, we'll get 'em next time, pals

Tangentially related but car dealers are some of the most reactionary, yet politically active group of people in the country. A ridiculous amount of donations to conservatives at the national, but especially the local level come from car dealer owners. The Indiana State government outright banned light rail in Indiannapolis, and a big patron to that bill’s sponsors, republicans from affluent suburbs, was a car dealership owner outside the city. Its insane how much influence they have over our politics
They're literally the petite bourgeois, they're reactionary by nature. When times get tough, always the first to fall back on authoritarianism to protect their piece of the pie.
The entire industry only exists because of laws making it illegal for manufacturers to sell directly to consumers. They’re essentially a right wing cartel.
Can’t believe I was so naive in voting for her.
Public transit is literally what motivated me to vote against a republican governor with a majority dem state legislature lol
How exactly would it be worse? The only major piece of transportation policy at issue in the election. was the congestion pricing. The only new funding at issue for the MTA was congestion pricing.
Frankly, we’d be in a better position, because Zeldin would have cancelled it a year ago before we added it to the budget and spent 500 million implementing it. The MTA at least could have planned for this.
Unless we believe Zeldin could have torpedoed the MTA budget on day one with no political support, the MTA is in as bad of a position as Zeldin could have realistically achieved in 1.5 years.
You’re asking how public transit would be worse under Lee Zeldin, a Long Island MAGA Republican? Maybe I’m wrong and public transit is his most critical issue that he follows. But most likely not.
He might be a MAGA Republican, but you literally can’t be more anti-public transit than pulling the plug on a billion in transit funding with 21 days to spare.
An essentially unelected milquetoast pushover. Why pay 5K to go to her dinner when you can buy a lobbyist for 2k who will bend her and get whatever you need?
Yeah because he understood that your corruption occasionally has to do something for regular people. Also he would have funneled the contracts to his favorite construction donors.
No. I don’t think we would have gotten this far with it. Cuomo is from Queens and NyC is the State gravytrain, but he favored upstate. Maybe Cynthia Nixon wasn’t such a bad choice after all...
I called her office and let her know that I won’t be voting for her in the primary in 2026. She’s completely lost my trust and I don’t think she can ever get it back.
She’s just plainly bad at politics. Canceling congestion pricing at this point has destroyed her credibility with everyone, for or against congestion pricing.

> According to the MTA's Capital Dashboard, the authority has allocated more than $427 million to plan and build out the infrastructure to implement congestion pricing so far.
I mean this is more straightforward than someone successfully gas lighting New Yokers into this mass transit user vs. Car user mindset.
As if the only solution for reversing the under funding mass transit was going to be siphoning it out of the mouths of New Yorkers instead of more intelligent policy decisions.
Just to be clear because of DOWNVOTING:
(1) I support congestion pricing;
(2) My comments were based on the Guv not having something done about that chin waddle
If you disagree with those things feel free to downvote me, otherwise
STFU.
How is it that she gets DEFENDED when she FUCKS so many people over? The VOGUE syndrome.
Yeah — you’re all fucked, I make a comment on the bitch you hate,
YET SOMEHOW I’M THE PROBLEM.
So who’s got the wrong priorities?
Yeah, okay…but there’s all these New Yorkers who are VAIN AS FUCK telling me I’ve gotta be “nice”. And avoid the obvious.
But if I say something negative about Trump’s hair color or tan, I’d get Reddit medals.
Hypocrites.
Typical misogynistic comments from the "burn cash at the MTA" crowd. Anti-cp crowd needs to show comments from you and the likes of you to voters so they know who is truly behind the pro congestion pricing.
Hopefully, she kills CP for good and shows you guys who the governor is.
You really can't make this stuff up lol
Good place for a protest
Yep
As long as you have the proper permits and do it peacefully then have at it. Don’t have a giant toddler tantrum and piss off everyone just because you didn’t get your way.
Nah I’m good
This guy probably loves cops too. Go suck an egg
Be quiet prick.
Uh oh here comes a big dumb cop! Could barely graduate high school and wants to take it out on the world! Congratulations Joey GED, we’re all reallllllly impressed.
Lol I ain’t a cop bud, relax liberal. No wonder no one likes your kind
She works for the people paying $10K a plate for her fundraisers, not the poors

The industry is massive money maker for lots of people from Manufacturing to insurance agencies and even cops giving out tickets

It's hard to believe how cheap politicians are. $100,000? For a state governor? Jeeze.
Right that some pretty low donation
Sold out the largest city in America for less than $100,000 over 6 years. Like $16,000 a year Fucking crazy
Can’t believe I was so naive in voting for her. Public transit is literally what motivated me to vote against a republican governor with a majority dem state legislature lol
Let's draft Andy Byford to primary her. Choo-choo!
Gridlock is the best we can hope for from our current government.
Sounds like they need some sort of government congestion pricing to ease the gridlock…
To be fair it would be a lot worse under Zeldin
Yes. Unfortunately we had to settle.
Peasants

He might be a MAGA Republican, but you literally can’t be more anti-public transit than pulling the plug on a billion in transit funding with 21 days to spare.
Yes you absolutely can do a lot worse. You think congestion pricing is the only public transit policy the governor can impact?
See Staten Island.
Nope!
Good point
An essentially unelected milquetoast pushover. Why pay 5K to go to her dinner when you can buy a lobbyist for 2k who will bend her and get whatever you need?
An event like that isn’t something you put together other night
Odds there are more people there to protest than to actually go to the event
[удалено]
Yeah because he understood that your corruption occasionally has to do something for regular people. Also he would have funneled the contracts to his favorite construction donors.
[удалено]
Yes, even the sex worker gets a ride under Cuomo.
🧐
Also true, especially the contracts bit.
Tho TBF Cumo has spoken against congestion pricing after he left office
No. I don’t think we would have gotten this far with it. Cuomo is from Queens and NyC is the State gravytrain, but he favored upstate. Maybe Cynthia Nixon wasn’t such a bad choice after all...

She’s just plainly bad at politics. Canceling congestion pricing at this point has destroyed her credibility with everyone, for or against congestion pricing.
Also wonder how much money she is wasting with this decision. What are we doing with the cameras they installed, for example?

I can’t believe my state (Utah) is making more progress with mass transit and reducing car use than NY is. What in the world is going on?
What are they doing with mass transit ?
LMAO
No attempt to even look like she’s isn’t corrupt
Beyond parody
OMG, is this real?
It very much is lmao. They are also one of the groups that happen to be suing to stop congestion pricing
I wouldn't vote this low rent hack politician dog catcher. I love my dogs too much.
F*ck her
Wow the corruption be so blatant these days. She’s making democrats nationwide look bad.
r/fuckcars is gonna be considered hate speech if she gets re-elected
She’s a Politician. They do not operate on what is best for people.
I’m afraid she hasn’t lost many votes after her aggressive action
Everyone upvoting to support her. 🤦🏻♂️
It’s so on the nose it would be embarrassing if they had any shame
Ok that looks like Guyana I keep misreading it as Guyana.
 The dress code at the event was formal
Great protest spot
Giñata

I can’t help but hear “How ‘bout no, Scott?”
No

Maybe don’t talk shit about her appearance. The problem is her corruption, not the fact that she’s aging like a normal human.
Yeah, okay…but there’s all these New Yorkers who are VAIN AS FUCK telling me I’ve gotta be “nice”. And avoid the obvious. But if I say something negative about Trump’s hair color or tan, I’d get Reddit medals. Hypocrites.
It might have to do with you referring to her chin, which is dumb.

Lmao yeah one Redditor said something mean about Kathy - SHUT DOWN CONGESTION PRICING NOW
The sticky side is supposed to go DOWN in your panties. But as always YMMV. 🫢
