With the foliage in probably the most vibrant section of its demise throes it’s straightforward to miss one thing as mundane as a disabled fowl scooter:
Nevertheless, on this case I observed not solely the scooter itself but in addition the pathetic plea that was plastered beneath:
What?!? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!? Hey, I’m not a type of assholes who will knock these items over or toss them within the river, however there’s no goddamn means I’m gonna choose up their scooters for them. That is like going right into a Burger King just for them at hand you a bag of frozen components, level you to a microwave, and say, “You make it.” Truly, it’s not even that, as a result of in that case I really wished the Burger King. Actually, this is sort of a Burger King worker leaving a bag of the shop’s trash in entrance of your own home with a be aware on it that claims, “Please eliminate this for me.” I keep in mind when shared “micromobility” was going to save lots of society–I even believed it for awhile myself! Now I perceive that at greatest it’s the Life Alert of the transit world:
Talking of transit, with a single Los Angeles baseball group rebuffing each of New York Metropolis’s groups one after the opposite, we’re feeling deeply insecure and so in an act of desperation the Division of Transportation is falling again on smugness:
Yeah, we actually received them there, as a result of in contrast to Los Angeles, New York Metropolis doesn’t have any overly extensive and congested roadways or something like that.
Oh, wait, sure we do, and also you don’t want AI to generate pictures of it, both. All you want is the photographs of them the town makes use of as an example their very own experiences of how shitty they’re:
Actually, not solely do we’ve got probably the most congested freeway in the whole nation, however we occupy three of the highest 10 spots!
We could not win the World Collection, however we’ll at all times have the perfect visitors.
Not solely that, however the final time Dodgers and Yankees met within the World Collection was 1981. Since then, Los Angeles has constructed a complete commuter rail system:
And in that very same period of time, we’ve principally simply constructed 1.8 miles of subway observe:
It took us 88 years and it’s the most costly subway line in the whole world:
Oh yeah, we additionally prolonged the 7 prepare one (1) cease and constructed a big-ass subway station that no person makes use of.
In order I prefer to say:
See, we like to think about ourselves as a strolling (or bicycling, or public transit) city, however we’re actually in no place to congratulate ourselves for transcending the ills of motordom:
Because it occurs, this occurred proper exterior of my youthful son’s college. Fortuitously it seems to have occurred within the wee hours when there have been no youngsters round, however after I handed by within the late morning they have been nonetheless cleansing up the particles:
I plugged the plate of the overturned douche canoe into the How’s My Driving web site:
The automobile has acquired a powerful variety of fines over the previous couple years:
Principally parking…
…however some crimson mild and dashing violations too:
Observe that How’s My Driving doesn’t choose up transferring violations, solely digicam violations and parking tickets, which is knowledge that’s publicly out there. The town really created a program to take care of drivers like this, however they by no means did something with it and so they let it expire:
However at the least we’re not LA, proper?
