Obama;s healthcare forces Americans to purchase healthcare policies at even more inflated prices than before. I dont care for socialism but obamacare benefits large privatized corporations which, as i understand it, is not the intended purpose of socialism.

The intended purpose of socialized healthcare is the following, in very basic terms:
>you have 10 people
>of those 10 people 1 gets very sick
>his treatment costs 50 units of money
>he cant afford it, so in a completely capitalist society he dies
>in a socialist society, since every person pays 5 units of money for health, he gets treated for free
So socialist healthcare is very good for those that need treatment, and a chore for those who never get sick. The deal is that you never know which group you will belong to. Its like insurance, you give away a small sum of money on the off chance that it will save you spending a large amount of money should shit happen.
I dont know how americans have implemented (or failed to implement) the model, but thats the very basic idea.

The problem is Obamacare is an effort to provide healthcare for those without it in a manner that is palatable to the health insurance industry
What sort of society are you in where you have to complicated convoluted bandaid fixes because the proper way to do something would make an industry hysterical?
One good thing that came out of it was the community co-op insurers - and now they're being squeezed out by the republicans refusing to fund them.
Face the facts: the ebil socialisms works. A national healthcare system would provide better care and cost less than what you currently have working through private means.
Eisenhower advocated it. Teddy Rooselvelt had it on his policy platform in 1912.
>>55309108
>>55309162
It's for the socially conscience also. People who want to be part of a society, share, help.
And sometimes it is actually less hassle to get public transport than to drive.
I used to enjoy riding the trains and trams in Melbourne. I would see so much of the city, I could read my book, meet interesting, (insert sometimes crazy), people. And for me it never lost it's novelty.

Simple, Obamacare made it illegal to not purchase a private healthcare plan from an insurance company. Insurance companies were no longer allowed to deny people based on preexisting conditions, so they just raised everyone's prices and made more money.

Hey Ausbro, how do you know so much about train stations in the first place?
>>55310097
All the other stations are above ground.
There was going to be a second underground station next to it, but the people living around it whined to prevent it from being built.
Then when they realized what fuckheads they were for doing that, they whined to get it built. Sorry dumbasses, funding would have to start from square one, and since the line runs 20 hours a day, it would be much more expensive to build.
>>55310111
Only in the long run. Keeps population from exploding. They were knowing exactly what they were doing back then.

>>55310200
How would that pander to private companies? A railway station next to your stadium guarantees lots of customers for events
Here in Melbourne we have our MCG, Etihad Stadium, Caufiled Race Course all adjacent to railway lines and stations
We even have a short line dedicated exclusively for the use of Flemington Race Course and the Royal Melbourne Show Grounds
Aside from when the races and the show is on, other events going on there, music festivals and shit, can contract the transit operator to run services
The cheap, convenient public transit taking you to events like this encourages more people to attend
And that means more $$$

>>55310201
Yeah Austin and Dallas are both 2 routes?
The problem with lightrail in Murika is first people treat it like a train. They put in on dedicated railways.
Despite its capacity obviously being not like a train and the cost of such expenditure.
Then they build only a few very short routes. Where do you go on it? How do you get to it?
Build a tram/streetcar network!
Lots of routes on the road, perhaps median strip, in your city centre and surrounding urban area
And you can't stop there. You need commuters too and through suburbia.
You need regional and inter-urban trains into the broader region and the big towns/small cities.
And of course metro inside the city itself. Dallas and Houston are probably pretty low density and sprawling because of the automotive centric planning policy so its not like they'd have a huge subway or elevated line, maybe just a line or two connected to the commuter network.
Niggers and spics fuck up everything we give them. You could turn New York subways into the cleanest, most beautiful areas is the whole city and they'd be ruined in a month. Niggers just can't handle nice things. They'd rip out everything they can sell like pipes, wiring, furniture and then start covering the area in graffiti.
Then the hands would move in, buddy out the lights, and start dealing drugs and robbing people. The police can't do shit because if they try to make an arrest, nigger lovers on /pol/ and Reddit will cry about muh racism and muh brutality.
So we're left with our shit tier public transport, not because we don't need it, but because there's no point spending more money on it.
>>55310305
>Hey Ausbro, how do you know so much about train stations in the first place?
I am trainguy
>>55310388
Its not that they did build one near a stadium, its that they DIDN'T build one near a stadium. I'm not sure about that though. It wouldn't really make sense, but Atlanta is a very poorly planned out city that has issues that like. Government corruption runs rampant because of how fast the city is growing, and MARTA is a private company that does the bare minimum to get by. Then again, they really don't make that much money from what I hear considering 90% of the Atlanta population relies on automobiles.
>>55310344
wtf is this shit?
Thank God that here if a station was dug in a place where ancient Athens once was, all findings must remain there and not be disturbed. :^)

There is literally no reason to drive in major cities, you'll be stuck in traffic for longer than it would take you to commute on public transit

>Build a tram/streetcar network!
Yeah, and let's fuel them with diesel too!
In other words, let's have a bus that you can't reroute, but its got METAL WHEELS so it must be better!
Median strips? Take a look on google maps and see. A lot of the highways in Texas have a concrete barrier for a center median and shoulders on each side, unless the road got an extra lane from repainting the shoulders away.
Also, not every place in the world has ground suitable for building a subway system. But yes, Texas has a lot of big low-density cities, and distance is the big killer for subways. And so is businesses being spread all around town. In Texas, big city downtowns are not where most people work.

>Tunnel construction is only about 18 kilometres (11 mi) from the active North Anatolian Fault, worrying engineers and seismologists. "Since AD 342, it has seen large earthquakes that each claimed more than 10,000 lives."[11] Scientific calculations estimated a probability of 77 percent that, at some time in the next 30 years, the area will suffer an earthquake of strength 7.0 or more on the Richter scale. The waterlogged, silty soil on which the tunnel is constructed has been known to liquefy during an earthquake; to solve this problem, engineers injected industrial grout down to 24 metres (79 ft) below the seabed to keep it stable.[11] The walls of the tunnel are made of waterproof concrete coated with a steel shell, each independently watertight. The tunnel is made to flex and bend, similar to the way tall buildings are constructed to react if an earthquake hits. Floodgates at the joints of the tunnel are able to close and isolate water in the event of the walls' failure.[11]

>Point B) No bid Union contracts granted by government officials and/or project labor agreements granted to unions on large projects have been largely disastrous.
The Big Dig (which has a colorful history) is one such event. Not all the problems relate to the PLA, but it structurally forced many cost overruns and under-performance.
Much of the money guaranteed in these PLAs (read the agreements) is forced into Union coffers vs. into workers' hands. Money used to influence public officials.

It's literally because of niggers. When I was in NYC we were afraid to go down into the dilapidated subways with nigger graffiti everywhere, because of the mean-mugging spooks and their clearly soulless, subhuman psychology.
In NY and Newark, spooks were everywhere, hanging out in the basketball yards behind chainlink fences, infesting the abandoned-looking parks and overpasses over roads. Seriously, those fucking overpasses - niggers were always there, eyeing you up, waiting for a lone helpless victim to wander into their urban lair.
The savage hostile attitude of niggers makes American cities feel like warzones or zombie-infested lairs. I reckon the war-torn Syrian cities are gonna be about as safe for a white person as American open-air cages for chimps. Beware, Europe - importing too many Africoons will bring the urban chaos to your doorstep.

I dunno,. Construction is a special case. It's where the tightest relationship exists between the political class and a quasi-private sector. Ir's also horrifyingly corrupt. Union dues fuel political fundraising and politicians fill the union war chest. Work is inefficient by design. Everybody but the bosses and the pols gets fucked.

Public unions and pols love each other. It's a hug fest. Completely unsustainable benefits and goodies are promised and dues get round-tripped into partisan issues. It's the taxpaying public who has revolted.

The fuck were you doing in Newark? That place is like fucking Detroit. There's nothing to do there, and it's a bombed out wreck. Newark's a place you leave, not go to see. Unless you were flying into there, and even then, there's a direct train to NYC.
As for the subways, just ignore the graffiti and rats in the stations, the cars are perfectly clean. Black people won't bother you, they're much more antagonistic to other black people. I had a literal gang war erupt around me on a train in the Bronx and I wasn't in any danger because I was white.
Plus, NYC black people are terrified of Russians. Like, drop dead terrified. So, if they gave you any trouble, you could have just screamed "SUKA BLYAT" and cowed them into submission.

Not slow at all, white stations mark high-speed express lines, and your average train runs at 40-50 MPH.

Hugely fallacious arguments. I understand that pro-union types are generally not fans of facts or logic.
1. False dichotomy. We don't have a choice between A) No teachers at all and B) Teachers with tenure, high wages, impossibly rich pensions and a list of incredibly rich entitlements vs. their market value in a free market
2. Hyperbole. "Blaming..every problem under sun". We simply blame the cozy and illogical agreements made possible by the union/political class relationships for 1) Undue financial stress on the working public. 2) Making stable and balanced budgets impossible.
3. [Trashing "their" pensions.] Most reasonable proposed solutions focus on establishing new and reasonable deals for young, new labor entering the workforce. the status quo is financially unsustainable without a huge and confiscatory transfer of wealth from the public to the private sector.
The reality is that politicians negotiate unsustainable and "rich" deals with unions for the round-trip money and support that it gets them. Public employees should not have a deal that far surpasses the value of labor in a free market - it is reasonable to correct this.
It's really little different than pushing back when the military pays $500 for a hammer or $1,000 for a toilet.

Why is there so much fixation on tenure? Why is a teachers measles pay described as stratospheric? Why are they mocked and ridiculed as if they were little more than glorified baby sitters? Why is there so much desire to make their jobs unstable and uncertain? Why is the right so determined to dismantle public education? Is it the money to be made bilking people for charter schools that deliver the same, or worse results, for more cost? Is it the ideology of opposing anything that has people having joint concerns and working together?

Niggers.
The rest of the world, especially the EU, does not understand that because the percentage of nigger in the total EU population is 0.4%. That's right. Less than half of one percent of the EU population is black. In the US, the niggers are 12% of the population. In major cities like New York City, blacks are more than 25% of the population.

>Russian Metro: Public art space doubling as transportation, run by the government, and meant to give the downtrodden oppressed and poor Russian a shot of culture and national pride
>NY metro: Jew shit run by corrupt kikes meant to be a business
I'm not defending it. but it makes sense. It is appalling though. The metro in Jew York was like 4 times the price of Moscow's while also being extremely scuzzy and disgusting, even surrounded by people, I felt like I was going to be mugged or stabbed with an HIV positive syringe on the NY subway.

Last post (do have a soulcrushing private sector job to tend to)
>Tenure
It's one element. It is sometimes abused. It allows some really shitty teachers to keep their jobs. It perfectly frames the concept that performance and meritocracy is absent or marginalized in the public sector. There's a reason why public employees make more and produce less than their public sector counterparts.
>"Attacking" teachers
This line is old and abused.You don't believe that the deal public teachers have gotten themselves is out of line with the market and propped up by backroom politics. Teachers have value - but some believe that the public pays more for teachers than they are worth. This is a fair debate to have.
>Tax burden
Teachers are only one corner of the middle class. You know that introducing basic concepts of competition and accountability into that sector isn't tantamount to destroying it. Taking capital tied up by the state and returning it to the public is not an evil
>Big business
Red herring. The same people who fight public union excess are generally against crony-capitalism and the state artificially propping up huge business (which is easier to control). These issues are different symptoms of the same disease
>Charter schools
Private education is, in large part, successful. This, despite huge PR, litigation and propaganda efforts to make private education very difficult.
Remember, private education tends to outperform or perform similarly to public education at a lower cost.
Always be wary of the group that tries to tell you competition will hurt the "customer."
>Boot them
Of course not. I do say education can remain public, but should be local. It's just a matter of presenting future generations of labor with a deal that is no different than that enjoyed in the private sector and that introduces concepts of competition and accountability into the industry.

See, NYC's metro was always fucking disgusting, but that was the price you paid for fast trains at all hours and super-low ticket prices.
Thankfully, the hours are the same, but fuck DeBlasio and his fucking MTA rate hikes. Asshole violated the Pizza Principle, which means that there's going to be a forced equalization at some point, and I'll be damned if I'm shelling out $2.75 for a slice.
