I worry for the future in this new Paramount environment
Star Trek belongs to the fans, far as I'm concerned. I mean that goes for pretty much any big franchise these days, but ESPECIALLY Trek.
Pop culture is the modern-day mythology. These are OUR stories, they've become a part of who we are. They have shaped our values, our morality, and our hopes.

almost nobody pays for the bus ;)
100%. But I'd thought that one main advantage to free fares would be that it would speed onboarding, and thus transit time. Maybe that's a mirage, idk. But since this piece prioritizes time and reliability would have been good to address.
the tradeoffs discussed, though, are important.
the tradeoffs discussed, though, are important.
Everyone is dunking on this piece but I think it's worth taking seriously. There's been good-faith debate among urbanists for years about whether free fares offer the best bang for the buck. It's OK to support a candidate and still subject their policies to scrutiny!

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.
