"It’s been an emotional week. I wanted to share this encounter I had with a very hateful man on the Pittsburgh bus because it reminds me that there are brave people in this world. Let’s all do everything we can to stand up for each other." - Kat Tsai

Cool... but...

They collect fair in Pittsburgh when you get off the bus? What do they do with deadbeats like this guy? I mean it seems much simpler to do it like they do up here (and in Sandiego), and charge them before they get on the bus, so you can just not let them on.

Reminds me of that poll I saw some time ago. The people who most raved against "welfare queens" and "moochers" were overwhelmingly likely to be on food stamps. Apparently they were under the impression that everybody but them was exploiting the system to live the high life, and if those people could be kicked out of it then there would be more left for them. Nevermind the fact that attacking those services would, and usually did, result in their own loss too. See also "The Only Moral Abortion Is My Abortion."

And again, I am saddended and worried that America has, for whatever reason, elected a man who has emboldened the mindset (and other, matching repelleant mindsets) of the old man here.

I love the tail of the speech bubble going down his throat, as though his words are being coughed or expectorated out.

I thought it was an express bus. MetroTransit riders pay before in the morning and at the end in the afternoon/evening.
