    Dude, NYC: I’m from here. I live here. If you can willfully ignore the fact that my travel money (a significant part of my wage THAT IS TIED TO MY SALARY) you probably should consider listening. Do I hate workers? No. Do I have an issue with people who have repeatedly, directly fucked with my salary and my income due to fraud? YES.

      Do you think I’m siding with the MTA? I’m on Lemmy, b. Give me some credit. This isn’t Reagan and the airlines. These guys have ripped off their neighbors. To wrangle with your boss for your travel,then lose 30 percent of it out of nowhere, then to open the paper to see that they have been falsifying time, that will get on your tits. It is personal. We’re your fucking neighbors.
