    Urban driving Nationwide was at roughly 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels in August, Meanwhile Transit ridership was down by 66 to 75 percent in systems across the country. The political left spent the last 8 months up-playing fears to Germaphobia which intimidates people to even getting on mass transit in the first place. Driving has bounced back. Transit has not, NOR WILL IT as long as they’re indoctrinating people to perpetual germaphobia. If “Lockdowns” keep private businesses closed; WHY do we need mass transit to get to places we no longer need to visit? Transit hasn’t just declined because of fear; they government LOCKED DOWN THE PLACEs transit was meant to serve. Leaving many transit agencies in financial ruin. It’s like a city economy dependent on ladder manufacture, in a town that mandates one story buildings. Reap what you sow.

    In 2017, California passed SB239 which de-felonized deliberate HIV transmissions (lying to your partner about status) down to mere misdemeanor. In 2020 they passed SB145 which gives Judges power to “Determine” if gay sex with underage partners is considered pedophilia and those engaged are sex offenders?. California plays Germ Police for a disease with 99% survival rate. But Mouthf**** a 14 year old and give him AIDS, you’ll do less time than a gun charge in Chicago
