Subway in the snow

They're really doing a bad job of shoveling. The street corners are full of snow so I have to stand on line to wait to cross the street. In Newark they don't even clean the pedestrian crosswalks, they use them to pile on the snow!

I realize we're getting a lot and there's a problem finding places to put the snow. But this isn't rocket science. I'm sure there's a way to get the snow to a place and melt it. There's really no excuse for not cleaning the snow.

How much more productive and efficient would our lives be if it was faster and easier to get around? There's so much work to do, so many workers available to do it, and governments willing to plan, so why can't we invest in this? Why are our daily lives less important than school vouchers or defense spending in Afghanistan? Why don't people realize we need to spend money on public transportation so that people can be more productive at work and many more money? There needs to be a way to clean up the snow more efficiently. You know it's bad when the businesses and private residences, who don't get paid to do this and aren't required to clean until hours after the snow, are doing a better job than the government who PAYS PEOPLE TO DO THIS!
