    How are people upvoting this alt-right trash?

    Here’s another comic by the same author

      Too bad to hear about the author. I found the comic itself to be kind of funny in an absurd way.

      But know that I know what his intentions are it is time to give the author the “stone toss” treatment.

    Having ridden the subway for like 20 years, I’m a little pissed that I didn’t get any shows for my ticket price.

    Damn the only thing unbelievable in this comic is the cost of riding the subway. Is it really that cheap?

      Subway and most buses $2.90 a ride, and if you use the same payment method it has a maximum combined fare of $34 per week. That means that if you pay for 12 rides, any more rides are free within a 7 day period.

        Dang that’s awesome. If I were in NY I feel like I would exceed that 12 ride limit & get free rides within the first day or two hahaha.

        I used to live in Japan (in the rural north) and for a time I was also in Tokyo. Their public transportation infrastructure, while intimidating and maze-like (bullet/local trains, buses, the metro) I quickly fell in love how convenient and smoothly things ran. With a suica pass I would actually get on trains with no real destination just to enjoy the ride hahaha (and the a/c).

        Careful, this comic author might figure out a way to make a new comic about how good public transportation is bad for society

        That’s not bad at all. I’ve only got buses around me: 2.50/ride with 90min to transfer to any other bus free. Buying two tickets in a day automatically becomes a day pass (unlimited rides for the day). Or there’s a 30day pass you can buy for $70

        Then there’s discounts for students and seniors.

    I don’t remember actually seeing a fight in public transit in the US. Public schools, however… 👀 (There’s like a fight every day in my highschool)

    I went to wrestlemania 18 at the Toronto skydome, $75 for great mid seats. I stopped watching wrestling 20 years ago but I wanted to take my brother for old times sake, $400 for the same type of seats for a lower show. I don’t know how people afford to go to anything anymore. Going to a restaurant now costs as much as it used to cost to have a concert night

      Consolidation in real-estate and the entertainment industry are why. In real-estate it leads to higher rents and mortgages, which for restaurants makes the location more expensive, but also the staff because they need to make rent as well. In entertainment it’s all just ticketmaster, which owns venues and the ticketing system. That makes them able to double dip on every ticket, since they can charge exorbitant rents for event locations, and also take IIRC a 30% fee on every ticket sold.

      People pay thousands of dollars for shrink-wrapped copies of games I rented for $5 as a child. Alcohol use is down. Drug use is down. Pregnancy is down. All this other nonsense is way up.
