The barbarians who destroy the planet and show no concern for others
Barbarity El Paso Style
It's been raining all day and the local streets are flooded.
Drains? what's that? It doesn't rain in El Paso, and we don't believe
in climate change...
The nearest busy street has four wide lanes. Two of the lanes are flooded.
Water is running there like a river, down the center of the road. And I must cross
that road to get to a bus stop.
Most drivers responsibly choose to drive in the the center lanes.
However, some drivers in their climate-destroying SUV's choose the outer lanes, the
lanes nearest to pedestrians.
And two such a.....holes... driving irresponsibly fast have thrown up huge
sprays of water, and the result is that I have become totally soaked.
I am trappped, unable to even cross the street to get to a bus stop....
Now that's real lack of civilization....
El Paso... what a desert.... in every conceivable way....

New Disease
My eyes hurt from the sun reflecting off the steel and glass beasts
rushing by.
No pedestrians to be seen.
Only enormous trucks.
Where are the people?
Oh, there was one, getting out of his truck to go into a so-called
convenience store--a store, which, I have noticed, does not even sell
milk--but does sell alcohol and cigarettes and newspapers.
And then there is the noise of these climate-destroying metal boxes...
shhhhhhh....whoooosh

Shitty Sun Metro
I took the 42 bus from northeast elpaso to the downtown. A twenty minute trip.
Crowded bus.
A woman with two children on her lap sat beside me. That was not comfortable.
the buses are very cheap, low quality.
They seem to have no suspension. If I sit in the back half of the bus, the buses bounce up and
down so much that it is hard to read.
In addition, at night, the bus drivers turn off the lights in the front of the bus. so, it is hard to
read there because it is dark.
Another feature of the buses which is evidence of their poor quality is that the center door does
not shut properly. There is a large gap between where the door is and where the door frame is.
This allows cold air to blow into the bus, and when it rains, water comes in.
Today I rode buses for about sixty minutes and I waited for buses about fifty minutes.
SHITTY SUN METRO
I note in passing that Western Europeans who visit Bratislava complain about the local
public transport.
(That's according to the English page of the Bratislava public transport website.)
Yet Bratislava's public transport is far superior to sun metro in El Paso.

And, there is as well, a contraption worthy of Rube Goldberg which makes it possible for wheel chairs to get on.
But it's crazy! slow and noisy!
A simpler solution would be if the buses were simply built lower.
Yes that is possible. I have seen it.
Oh, you say it must be "expensive".
There are millions of dollars to waste on spy planes along the border,
but not money for basic public services.
That is American capitalism at work, a fundamentally non-democratic system....
