Thee three years before the Democrat states locked down harder than required where there was record job growth, wage increases and a large growth of manufacturing and industrial jobs.

Over a hundred thousand of which have already been wiped out by Biden's first roubd of executive orders. I'm not even American and I know this.

God no. I hate subways with those platform doors. They're awful and make you feel like you're in a prison. Wouldn't it be cheaper, if it is a real problem, to just have a security guard there? Millions to renovate and ongoing maintenance for as long as the barriers are there versus 40 grand a year for a new security guard.

Yeah one security guard is really going to stop some fucked up person pushing people onto the tracks at random. We need platform doors on every subway station to save lives. The subways are stuck in the 70s and need desperate modernization.

What you need to do is simply stop people loitering at stations and enforce fares.

Look London's new Elizabeth line will have the platform safety doors at central stations. Once you've made the initial investment, they won't be that costly to maintain and drivers will always stop in the right place.

the big meme is to record the growth in jobs rather than the reduction in unemployment. (since contrary to expectations, they don't measure two sides of the same thing)

The occasional deaths from people being pushed onto subway tracks are probably not significant enough for subway owners to consider it worth the cost of installing platform screen doors although they probably should.

Yet, 2nd world countries in Asia still manage to equip nearly all of their metro stations with platform screen doors. Jamal, you guys have the worst funding and maintenance strategy in the US. It's not expensive by default due to "muh maintenance and manufacturing costs", it's because your politicians always want to squeeze every single dime to their own wallet by overpricing entire projects.
