Budget not an issue?

Moncler, Canada goose, north face

On a budget?

Try sporting good stores like Sierra (I usually go to the one right across the border in salem so no sales tax)

I don't think he's the guy to say this. He was asked 2x at the press conference if he had Healey's full support including increased funding if needed. The first time he didn't answer the funding portion, the second time he said he would not use funding as an excuse and would work with what he has. It's hard for me to read that as anything other than Healey telling him that he will get no more funding for operations, which is reflected in her budget.

I feel like you are using the wrong words. Them not serving you in a discriminatory manner (my assumption based on the limited information) isn’t about their view of capitalism. If they don’t like your politics, they don’t like your politics but i guarantee capitalism and anti-capitalism has nothing to do with it. This comes off as someone saying they want a place that is okay with fuchsia because one place wasn’t when really they are asking about neon green.

What would that have accomplished? The FTA taking over wouldn't have unlocked more resources for the MBTA, it simply would have forced the MBTA to use its existing resources to improve safety like it's currently doing. We're now seeing what happens when the MBTA starts to take safety more seriously while not having the resources in place to maintain service.
