With the foliage in essentially the most vibrant part of its dying throes it’s simple to miss one thing as mundane as a disabled chook scooter:
Nevertheless, on this case I seen not solely the scooter itself but additionally the pathetic plea that was plastered beneath:
What?!? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!? Hey, I’m not a kind of assholes who will knock these items over or toss them within the river, however there’s no goddamn method 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 substances, level you to a microwave, and say, “You make it.” Really, it’s not even that, as a result of in that case I really needed 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 bear in mind when shared “micromobility” was going to save lots of society–I even believed it for awhile myself! Now I perceive that at finest it’s the Life Alert of the transit world:
Talking of transit, with a single Los Angeles baseball staff 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 acquired them there, as a result of not like Los Angeles, New York Metropolis doesn’t have any overly large and congested roadways or something like that.
Oh, wait, sure we do, and also you don’t want AI to generate photographs of it, both. All you want is the pictures of them the town makes use of as an instance their very own stories of how shitty they’re:
In actual fact, not solely do we now have essentially the most congested freeway in your complete nation, however we occupy three of the highest 10 spots!
We could not win the World Sequence, however we’ll all the time have the most effective visitors.
Not solely that, however the final time Dodgers and Yankees met within the World Sequence was 1981. Since then, Los Angeles has constructed a whole commuter rail system:
And in that very same period of time, we’ve principally simply constructed 1.8 miles of subway monitor:
It took us 88 years and it’s the most costly subway line in your complete 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 wish 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 faculty. Fortuitously it seems to have occurred within the wee hours when there have been no children round, however after I handed by within the late morning they had been nonetheless cleansing up the particles:
I plugged the plate of the overturned douche canoe into the How’s My Driving website:
The automobile has acquired a formidable variety of fines over the previous couple years:
Principally parking…
…however some crimson mild and rushing violations too:
Observe that How’s My Driving doesn’t choose up transferring violations, solely digicam violations and parking tickets, which is information that’s publicly accessible. The town really created a program to take care of drivers like this, however they by no means did something with it they usually let it expire:
However at the least we’re not LA, proper?
