And this is the problem. If you "don't have time" to be civically engaged, then you're woefully uninformed, and you shouldn't complain about how your tax dollars are allocated, because you simply have no idea what you're complaining or arguing about.

No it’s not. Bart is just really bad, and don’t blame lack of civil engagement. We don’t have time for this shit. Plenty of countries have good public infrastructure without the need for everyone to be engaged.

It’s like saying crime is a problem in this world because of your lack of engagement in stopping crime.

Bitching on HN is one small form of engagement I can afford and I’m hoping at least one bart official sees it and realize what a shit job he’s doing or one government official sees it and realizes what a shit government official he is and changes something. Minuscule hope but why not.

Instead we get random people who will only benefit from fixing the bart actually trying to defend it as if it’s their favorite sports team.
