A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Okay so public transportation is chill depending on where you are. Where I am this is the the full MBTA map because the commuter rail map shows the full map with all the lines.

The purple line once out of the zone of the orange, red, blue and green lines (silver are busses) the trips start to range in the 45 min to 3 hour range which means the trips are super long and we don't have 220km/h trains we have 126km/h trains for outer city/long destinations and it's not cheap either unless you have a reduced fare card and even then......

In the city though, the orange, red and green are the best and most reliable. The blue line is reliable it's just drags out in feeling. The silver line busses work well they just suck a lot to use.

The commuter rail is a loud ass stainless steel looking, double decker with wifi that's always on time but a fucking long ass wait and super inconvenient if you miss it plus there's always one out, there's always a delay, it never ends it fuckin sucks.

Is rather feel robbed for the price of gas per gallon than deal with the train ever again. Especially in the direction of out of the city.
