Three to four weeks ago the transit report said no LIRR trains moving in Penn station during the evening rush hour: Signal problems.
About 10 days ago during the evening rush hour, the day with the thunder storms: No trains moving through Jamaica Station except the Port Washington line: Signal problems again.
Nothing is ever said about getting this problem fixed.
To the contrary, besides the third track, Cuomo recently talked about getting train cars with wider doors.
That would have to result in fewer seats.
One would still rub elbows with the people of the world. The last I heard, he wants to get 1,000 new cars?
From what I have seen, there is nothing wrong with the cars presently in use.
In other news, I notice how the Republicans have done everything possible so that Sen. Martins would not have to face Philip Pidot in a primary. It’s the new American way.
I remember that Sen. Martins was adamantly against raising the minimum wage being that it would hurt small businesses.
The last I read was that for his self promotion he was taking credit for it being raised. Just an opportunist.
Then there is Martins and state Assemblywoman Schimel doing everything they can; overriding court decisions, etc. to wrest a piece of what is left of pristine forest and use it for development.
What is in it for them? It is like money first. Integrity last.
It is clear what makes Bernie Sanders a statesman with more than a nifty 50-year clean record.
In 1960s lingo, Bernie has never needed sacks of gold, man!
For most of the others it is “Think what my country can do for me.”
I know that when I am on Facebook or Twitter I have freedom of speech.
However, I also know not to make as much as a hint of a threat to anyone.
I had been using my phone more than four years including writing to Readers Write.
Suddenly about six weeks ago it was informing me that it was running out of storage capacity.
As if it was being jammed full of something.
Then Sunday evening, the eve of the Democratic convention, Facebook disappeared from my phone as if it had never existed.
Hmmm! Maybe what I was saying such as Citizens United = Communist Party was not liked by someone with ‘pull’ or whatever. Just a guess.
Okay! So now I have a new up to date smarter phone.
