Dear Boeing,
Get you act together. Do you really want Airbus to overtake you as a company to the point Airbus has a monopoly? And build a new 737. The MAX is great, but it's a 737 upgrade to say the least. A new clean sheet design needs to be done, and fast. Charles de Gaulle, I hope I never visit your grave, as I would throw an American flag on it. (Or maybe not, as I think this entry suffices enough insult). This is a quickie blog entry, for good reasons.
No matter what the MTA does, there's a public relations crisis after it. For instance, giving subway riders affected by Superstorm Sandy free rides on the anniversary has received a fair share of insults. The MTA needs an external audit done on it, find out what (other than the unions) is causing inefficiencies at the agency. Furthermore, the cost of living in the New York metro region needs to be brought down.
Wow. Congress can't get any lower. Has partisan politics gotten to the point where there's name calling among our nation's legislators? I guess no one has heard of decorum. How sad.
On the upside, Bill de Blasio is apparently a fair and attentive landlord. I like that he's likeable, something we don't see to often with elected officials.
Although Vermont senator Bernie Sanders has budget ideas that are not only sound but apparently beneficial for the entire nation, I don't see it going anywhere, partially because of a Republican insistence on high defense spending. What happened to doing the right thing and not trying to please constituents? You win voters by doing the right thing (except with gun control it seems, especially the way it's been handled in New York).
Here's some news items of interest for my fellow New York Times readers.
The last blog entry for today I'm not writing. There are some things that are better left unsaid.
And I know what I will be doing at 8PM tonight-a moment of silence. For me, today has just been a buzzkill of a day.
