To clarify, my parents are in outer Queens. Dad always had to have a car because he worked nights in an industrial area where bus service was sparse. My Mom has never learned to drive and wants to be able to walk to stores to get what she needs. They drive to the doctor and outside the city.

My parents are in their upper 70s with multiple age related disabilities. Like most houses in their neighborhood, they lack a private driveway. My mother has fought to stay there instead of going to suburbia because she can still walk to the store in case my father is incapacitated.

I am not sure where the debate is here? I use transit. I am not going to stop using transit. It is the MTA who controls what platforms get Wi-Fi and they decided it was too costly to install. I don’t want them to go ahead with this auto-activate policy for those of us who plan ahead. That is all.

The LIRR and Metro North do not have Wi-Fi on all platforms.

Wait, does this mean that if you buy your tickets the night before a planned trip they will activate and expire? I don’t like to buy my tickets right before I board the train because sometimes my cell connection is bad, or I am trying to get my kids out the door.

No I very much am contesting the central claim: “Lifesaving” is a perfectly reasonable way to describe a treatment that reduces depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation in a population with high rates of all three!

Oh no! I hope everything is okay! The stress of a cross country move is enough without all that.

Which is another reason why the Confessore article is so infuriating as an attorney who has done this work. The movement didn't abandon the slow methodical approach that won Bostock, they were forced to respond to an existential blitz on trans rights framed in far right terms.
