"What that paragraph is saying is when you set policy, you must consider all the ramifications not only a single one."When the choice is between zero cost and no pedestrian deaths, there is no real choice. "By considering the possibility no matter how remote, of a pedestrian fatality and saying that is more important than anything else, you can make some unwise decisions." It IS more important than anything else. How the fuck are you such a sociopath that you don't understand that? "You can spend all your resources on trying to prevent them at any cost while neglecting other priorities that are just as important." There aren't traffic issues that are just as important. And nobody has ever said resources should not be spent on other issues. "You could post all your traffic agents at intersections to help pedestrians cross the street instead of them giving out parking tickets depriving the city if needed revenue." Posting them at intersections does nothing to help pedestrians cross the street. "Of course that would never happen. But let us suppose de Blasio decided to do just that. If I stated it was an over reaction and the city could not afford to lose that revenue, would you then argue I was valuing revenue over pedestrians' lives and he should be allowed to do that?" That would be up to the mayor, so yes he WOULD be allowed to do that. It would be stupid however. |

"You are trying to make it appear that all three quotes were mine."I am not. The second and third are clearly not by you. I was using your logic on other situations to make it clear how ridiculous you are. "Show me where I made the second and third quotes which who claim are comparable. They certainly are not." You didn't. "In quote 2, why is there a need for states to regulate their own electoral processes? The federal government often makes laws that supersede states' powers." Yes, they do. "Your third quote is similarly fallacious. If the value of a job performed by a woman is less than the value if it were performed by a man, she should be paid less. The amount she sound be paid should be determined by the value of the work not by the fact she is a woman." I agree completely. "There is absolutely no comparison between your statements regarding Jews and gays with my statement regarding pedestrians. You are comparing apples and oranges." There is a comparison. A very strong one. "You make it appear that every time a driver saves 15 seconds, a pedestrian is killed." I do not do any such thing. "That is what would have to be true to make all three statements comparable." It does not. |

The pedestrians who cross at red signals are not putting others at danger.Furthermore, the vast majority of unsafe vehicle operations through intersections are not people running red lights. It is people taking the green light to grant them a greater amount of right of way than it is giving them. |

"Again you are making ridiculous assumptions that if I wouldn't have done something, someone else would have."That is not a ridiculous assumption. "You make it seem like anyone could have assembled 10,000 pages of documentation to convince a consortium of insurance companies to just hand over $30 million." Not anybody. But I'd trust the average person on the street more than I would trust you to. "That is far from the truth." Not far from it. "It was a difficult job which you make it appear that most anyone else could have done a better job and it wasn't difficult at all." Not saying it would be simple. " I never stated or implied that I was the only one capable of doing it but I am sure someone else may not have done a good a job as I did resulting in a lower payment." There is probably someone on this planet who is less capable than you. "All you are doing is making baseless accusations with zero proof. "Give me some time and I will provide the link to the posts where you first stated that saving $4 million a day was my job with your quote, "So you actually did your job for one day."" Nowhere in that post, nor any others, does it say that it was your job to save $4 million every day. "And you later said that wasn't my entire job responsibility meaning saving $4 million a day was not enough of a job responsibility for me." Correct in that I made a statement similar to what you claim I actually said. Incorrect with regards to your interperetation. |

"That does not say a driver's time is worth more than a bus rider's time."The "conditional" argument that you make makes your views clear. "The point I was making was that DOT is only considering the value of a bus passenger's time and ignoring the time of car and truck drivers." There is no evidence whatsoever that they are. That said, they SHOULD value that of bus riders higher as they do not have the same negative cost to society. "There are many more car and truck drivers and passengers than there are bus passengers and they are losing more time than is gained by bus passengers." There is no reason to believe this is true. "So when EVERYONE's tine is considered the total amount of minutes lost is greater than the total amount of minutes gained making SBS on Woodhaven a poor idea." It does no such thing. "I repeatedly stated everyone's time needs to be treated EQUALLY." Yet you repeatedly complain when anybody tries to do so. "Then I added IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE CASE, that a bus rider's time is worth more than the tine of someone in a passenger car, it WOULD BE POSSIBLE to make a counter argument that a driver's tine is worth more because their income's are higher." That you consider such to be a possible argument makes it pretty damn clear that you are elitist scum. "I never was making that argument. I SIMPLY WAS STATING THAT THAT ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE." No, by making the statement, you were literally making the argument. "You clearly are reconstruing what I stated by ignoring that it was a CONDITIONAL statement, and not something I was advocating." Your weasel-phrasing has no effect on the obvious intent. |

Where do you see a choice between zero cost and zero pedestrian deaths in the quote you are referring to?So according to you preventing one single pedestrian fatality takes all precedence over everything else. So let us place a full ban on all motor vehicles in the entire New York City, using your logic. BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT EVERY SINGLE PEDESTRIAN FATALITY FROM A MOTOR VEHICLE, YOU MORON. And if posting traffic agents at intersections to aid in pedestrian crossings which I suggested "does nothing", then we shoukd do away with all school crossing guards also. Correct? That would really reduce pedestrian fatalities, right? |

It certainly is a ridiculous assumption TO ASSUME someone else would have found the error considering you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE MTA's CHECKS AND BALANCES."I'd trust the average person on the street more than I would trust you." Same here buddy. So if the job wasn't difficult, which it was, and it wasn't simple either, what is the third choice? Of course there is someone on this planet less capable than me. I suspect there are many. When someone replies that I was doing my job properly for one day out of 25 years by saving $4 million on that day, it is clear that the inference is I shoukd be saving $4 million every day. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH MY INTERPRETATION. But now you are denying that is what you strongly implied because you now realize what a DUMB statement that was for you to make, so you are trying to do damage control. |
