    A "backup"?! Just how prone to failure is the primary?

    An MTA spokeswoman said Wednesday that the zip tie was being used as a temporary fastener to attach a cable to the new R186 cars while a special part is being made. She added that the cable is attached another way, and the zip tie is just a back-up.

    “The ties are a back-up way of securing a cable on the subway car. It’s used in conjunction with other fasteners,” said MTA spokeswoman Beth DeFalco. “It’s 100 percent safe and only used on some cars on the #7 line. We have a specially designed bracket that is being engineered and is set to be installed in the next few weeks.”

    Understand this very clearly: the failures you are hearing about at the NYC subway system, are a result of affirmative action hires.

    Women (excepting a very few) and minorities in general, suck at maintenance of complex systems. But in NYC where straight white men are routinely discriminated against, it is a point of pride for the commissars in NYC government to pack as many women and morons into whatever roles they can.

    Criticize Ayn Rand on many other things, but in her writing about how the train systems deteriorate in Atlas Shrugged, she was accurate, except for not including squatemalans.

    Good, I hope thousands die because of AA. It's the only way to demonstrate that niggers are subhuman and don't possess the intelligence necessary to be productive. It's like hiring a baboon to do brain surgery...people are gonna die!!

    It started out with Affirmative Action incompetence, but the rot has spread throughout what were once rightly called "White Americans," as well. "Excellence"? "Prudence"? "Proper"? What the fuck are those?, is the attitude of even most "White Americans."

    My wife could do a better job with this situation. It's not "women" or even minorities. It's incompetence. On a pervasive scale. I'm sure there are a few Blacks that would look at that and realize how pathetic it is. Actually, a Black female is who took the photo, knowing it was wrong:

    “Zip ties used on the undercarriage of a #7train..is this standard?” tweeted MsJaya_B. “How often are these checked for wear and tear?”

    All Jewish propaganda has at least a kernel of truth. It is far more effective that way. But the destruction of excellence is directly caused by Alisa Rosenbaum's Tribe infecting our society with Cultural Bolshevism.

    If they used black zip ties they would have blended in and no one would have noticed.

    the new R186 cars
    The subway car in the photo appears WELL used, and NOT 'new'.

    standing up against perpetual war also conveys that we must learn how to judge people by their actions only... but thats a catch 22-divide-and-conquer.

    ‘Gross interference with domestic affairs’: China furious at Trump’s $1.4billion Taiwan arms deal 1 July 2017 (RT)
    All the money that exists cannot buy Earth, and the evidence is that we destroy our habitat as a result, thinking that we can just seize and pillage as we see fit. If crowds endorse the pursuit of wealth at their own level, they cannot prevent multinationals from doing exactly the same. The “dystopian endless growth paradigm” is going to end with a bang but will open the door to a premise endorsing that Earth is the only wealth we truly have while journeying through life.
