there are humans who actively avoid all politics, and in the united states this is actually very easy to do.
Man, I dont even live in the US, and US politics is inescapable. Of course Canada’s political climate is directly affected by what’s going on down there, so It’s probably harder to avoid here than somewhere across an ocean.
Cracking down on fare evasion doesn’t even make sense financially. Assuming those cops are making the starting salary for NYPD officers, every single cop would need to catch roughly 54 people every day, each, for them to break even on lost profits. It cant possibly be that big of an issue there.
This is a tragedy. And one that was preventable to boot.
