[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just fire all of the employees and hire non union workers.  Pension liabilities and outrageous salaries are killing the metro.

Metro workers get paid way, wayyy too much.. Those clowns in the booths are do nothing lazy bums who allow fare evasion.  They act so onery and pissed off whenever you simply ask them for help because they might have to stop using their phones for 2 minutes.  They get paid way too much money to do nothing.  Fire them all and save the metro. [/quote]  They contracted out bus operations from one of the bus garages to a private company.  It didn’t go so well.  Our area is liberal and pro union.  Wmata management are not miracle workers.  [/quote]

This area is not alone in out-of-control government spending. At some point people will realize the impact it has on housing affordability. [/quote]
The area is out of control in wealthy litigants that make the cost of everything development-related skyrocket. Too many lawyers, too much money going to law firms to fight things. People have too many rights and too muc bc ability to give “input”[/quote]

This is the face of fascism. Lie down and do exactly what your government tells you to do without question or challenge. Screw you. [/quote]

The face of fascism is when you have your shed on county property and you don't want to move it so you file an adverse possession claim. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/md-court-of-appeals/1723766.html

The face of fascism is when you get your municipality to pay an expert to go look for an endangered species, but the expert doesn't find any, but you file a lawsuit anyway, which you can do because you're your own lawyer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2014/11/06/chevy-chase-approves-25000-to-search-for-endangered-species-dna-near-purple-line/

The face of fascism is when the judge in the lawsuit, who should have recused himself, delays issuing a final ruling for over a year, because without any final ruling, there can't be any appeal of the final ruling. https://wtop.com/maryland/2017/05/purple-line-judge-issues-his-final-ruling-on-light-rail-project/

No, wait, that's not the face of fascism, that's the face of well-connected people who think they shouldn't have to accept no for an answer. It turns out they did have to accept no for an answer. Unfortunately we're all on the hook for the additional costs and delays caused by their actions.[/quote]
