Decades LOL. Pretty sure China just opened another metro system in the 2 days that have passed.

I don't know what the paradigm shift is going to be to get transit to act with a sense of urgency, but we need it more than ever.

How can one guy keep making such shitty decisions? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

With only 10 months to go before he's booted the fuck out, maybe BJ is just trying to completely lock down the "Worst Mayor Ever" trophy without leaving any hint of a doubt.

I mean, the dude has never displayed the slightest shred of competence in the job for the past 3+ years now; why start now?

Indeed...nor even the slightest shred of situational awareness. I genuinely believe he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, when in actuality, he's just the least self-aware.

God thats frustrating. What an absolute oaf. At least these nominees need to pass city council approval. Hopefully they send the mayor back to the drawing board.
