Some parts of NYC subway system have worse air pollution than the worse days in Beijing. Apparently all subway systems in the US generate some unsafe level of air pollutants.


All those people underground, how can it not be unhealthy?

Beijing has one of the largest subway systems in the world. Imagine how bad it is.

I have to imagine its apples to oranges comparing it to NYC.
Doesn't NYC have the oldest subway system in the world. Who knows. Its definitely ancient
Beijing subway opened in 1971
Massive expansion in 2002

No NY is not the oldest in the world or even the oldest in the US.

This quote from the article "Mr. Minton noted that NYU researchers sampled three of the system’s 472 subway stations and four of almost 1,000 daily trains."

That was a comprehensive study. NOT You think they went to the 3 stations they thought were the cleanest? Sampled .25% of the trains. You really need to upgrade your critical reading skills TP.

They got nothing so they resort to going to peoples homes. disgusting
Of course Okeefe is complaining, he depends on other companies to spread his message
Amazes me how dependent these clowns depend on Twitter
I dont tweet jack and I have a lot to say
I dont care if you are left wing or right wing, harassing people at home is WRONG

Why is it worse to harass someone at their house than at other places? Isn't harassment wrong anywhere?

Video of the Ft Worth pileup as it happens. Can't stop on ice.

Seems to me, there ought to be a standard procedure taught, like firing a flare backwards. I suppose that could cause another wreck. Maybe a parachute flare or shoot it off to the side of the road.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

What if it was the only grocery store for 50 miles?


That's not the grocery store's problem. Pursuant to free association and property rights, they can refuse service to whomever they wish, regardless of the consequences for that person.

More than that, perhaps our hypothetical person should have considered the fact that it's the only grocery store for fifty miles before refusing to wear a mask as the grocery store wanted him/her to.

Quit applying logic to an internet forum. That's not how forums work.
