Man what do all thje nyc and jersey cats think about this strike thats going on? ... for those that dont know the MTA(who provide subway and bus transportation for 7 million new yorkers daily) went on strike seeking better retirement pensions and higher salaries .. this is fucin new york up big time and people are walking across all the major bridges and either have to find a taxi or walk to get anywhere ... this shit is crazy .. i stayed my ass home.... i wasnt about to walk miles in that cold weather ....... its crazy how much of the city relies on the mass transit to get around ... the city is basically a mess ... the strike is putting nyc in an official "state of emergency" ... i think the workers have a right to strike but goddamn niggas cant keep this shit up its really fucin up the city.. the transit workers and the mta officals better reach some kind of agreement before something crazy happens ...

Yo i remember when that shyt happened in L.A. , but we dont rely on public transit as much though so i am sure it is effectin u guys worse....The thing is from what i am told MTA workers make pretty good money .....at least the drivers do, but every year they threaten to strike

Lemme tell you,

Just imagine the only transportation to your paycheck is gone.

You live over 20 miles from your only source of income and your living on your last DOLLARS.

Just imagine,
There being no end in sight because people in power (With Big money by the way) are busy playing politics while claiming to represent the hardworker stuck in the middle-

Being a New Yorker is ruff in these days.

I just hope it doesnt get worse.


Peace to all of my Hardworking Money earning New Yorkers.

WE GOTTTA ALL KEEP OUR HEADZ UP....................

so you don't it's neccesary for the union to exist?

everytime there's a strike you should support the workers on strike, even though it may affect you. you can't turn on the working class and say that they digust you. cause that's just wrong.
