Rep. Ayanna Pressley said Friday all public transit should be fare-free, and her idea got huge applause at a gathering of diehard progressive activists.
Pressley, a member of the freshman squad, made the comments off the cuff as she was touting her criminal justice legislation aimed at radically decreasing the number of people incarcerated, abolishing private prisons and decriminalizing low-level offenses related to poverty.
“Like why are we locking kids up for evading fares?" Pressley said of turnstile jumpers. “They don't got it!
"Deal with the root problem. Public transit should be free anyway!”
The Howard University crowd burst into cheers. She paused for 10 seconds as the audience continued to erupt.
“Yeah,” Pressley said, emphasizing her free-fare point.
Her comments came at an event with her fellow squad members – Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. – where they spoke to “The Rising Majority” activists who are working on racial justice, immigration rights, climate change and economic equality issues.
The squad touted the power of the progressive movement that helped propel them into office in 2018 and how they intend to make real governmental changes. The hashtag for the event was #squadup and a banner on stage read: "Building an antiracist left for radical democracy.”
Although they are only freshmen, the four squad members have an outsized national profile and their ideas can take hold swiftly in the party, such as Ocasio-Cortez’s push for the Green New Deal.

If we start giving people free public transportation, how will gas and auto companies keep getting free government money to provide their "necessary" service?

Once you flood public transit with infinity african mobs with nowhere to be, and all the whites and asians flee to cars or uber for safety, you'll see the same morbidly obese sistahs writing articles about how #CarsBeSoWhite and ride services are a human right they should get for free.
They're a swarm of locusts demanding and then destroying everything we build for them, before moving on to the next crop.

Nobody looked at that last bit, reads prophetic, like Nostradanus predicting the end of the world, at least as Dem's know it. Start prepping, now.

I think most would be happy dropping the massive military support - but you have to drop America's role as global police force first. It's putting the cart before the horse. You can't one before the other. You can barely focus on any domestic policies before this.
And it's not something anyone in power is willing to do. Either Dems or Republicans. This has been the plan for the US since the British empire fell, who held the job before. And so on and so forth for thousands of years of imperial police forces. Work on that first. It's a bigger problem than your choo-choo trains.

Key part being: in a sensible, cohesive, high-trust society. All kinds of stuff will work there that could never anywhere else. From free transit to generous social benefits to just being courteous and helpful to random strangers that will never pay you back directly.
Paying it forward by letting someone merge into traffic, knowing the next guy will let you in. Leaving free samples or halloween candy unattended, or ensuring a public resource like a campground or park is in better condition than you found it. When you're contributing to help your fellow man, and everyone would be ashamed to take advantage of a generous system, it works.
When your homeland is filled with shameless, opportunistic, low-impulse-control hordes, then any favor you do goes unrequited, everything that isn't bolted down gets stolen for scrap, and any time you relax you get taken advantage of.
Which is why giving the africans free run of the train system will be a total chimpout, just like doubling my taxes so doctors can spend millions on Duhbonica's morbid obesity-related ailments.

>America's role as global police force
Literally a meme created at the end of WW2 to justify empire building and allegedly opposing communism. End of the cold war it was "combating terrorism" to justify keeping in bed with unsavory middleeasterners to prop up the petro dollar. All the while outsourcing the manufacturing base to the third world to make the elites richer.
>it's not something anyone in power is willing to do
Because while the American public was watching TV and jerking themselves off to patriotic fervor the elites were busy selling out the public and looting the country with secret insider military contracts that gave them kickbacks and what can only be described as the most unprecedented example of corporate hijacking of a nation in world history.
>Work on that first
Can't be done as long as the public is a bunch of uninformed cucks who think that the people on top give a shit about them or look out for their interests. Case in point dumb shit right wingers who vote against their own interests but never bat an eye at the amount of tax dollars sent to banks, corporations, minorities and foreigners. Ron Paul was the only republican to suggest cutting aid to Israel and he was booed off the stage.
Part of fixing the public is to get them thinking about what the government SHOULD BE DOING FOR THEM! Hence why "choo-choo trains" as you put it, actually are important.

And you don't have that because American society has drifted from its values and embraced make believe Gordon Gecko cutthroat capitalism. At some point in America it stopped being good enough to simply have the small house, white picket fence, and low budget station wagon. No, now everyone wants to live like a rockstar in a drug fueled haze of sex, drugs, and endless partying. The small house needs to be a mansion. The white picket fence needs to be a gated community. The station wagon needs to be a Ferrari. And there is no low that the public will sink to, no amount of backstabbing, pilfering, looting and shameless treachery that they won't engage in to chase that dream.
Every problem that right wingers bitch about is literally the result of this cultural shift that has taken place in all parts of society. Jews are simply a projection of the recognition that greed and faithlessness has been their undoing. At the highest levels it is always their own countrymen who are doing the selling out, jews, nigs, and spics are simply the by product of that. Why are there illegal immigrants? So that farmer bob and his elected right wing representative can keep costs low and profits high. Why do the illegals even want to come? Because NAFTA screwed over all the small Mexican farmers and forced them into poverty. Why are nigs and women given handouts? To keep a corrupt leftist elite in power through guaranteed votes. The same leftist elite who also doesn't lift a finger to deport illegals.
The American public is shafted from every side and they don't care because they keep playing into the idea that either side is looking out for them.

Not so much Mex but other southern America countries. And they got screwed over there too.
