I think Lenin is supposed to be the pope's man, and has shared control over $666m with his master the pope. The Orthodox Church nicked the tsar's wallet and traded it to the Bolsheviks in exchange for being allowed to survive. Bolsheviks keep the pope's money and Nicky money, for the great win.

I always figured Chick was a by the numbers homophobe but this is confusing - is Lew being a villain by giving two gay dudes AIDs for no good reason or is he a righteous avenger using AIDs as an instrument of god's homophobia? I've never encountered before "AIDs is a man made bioweapon spread intentionally by secretive conspiratorial actors, but as part of God's Plan for killing the gays."

I don't think the dude's thoughts are that consistent or coherent. More like "Gays bad. Aids kills gays. Good."

I asked a friend that grew up in an evangelical church handing out that kind of trash about chick tracts, he said he never handed them out because they're too expensive. Definitely gave the impression Jack chick is more about the money than a coherent ideology.

Not the free fares thing, even if your income is $0 it's still $1.50 a ride

Also I don't mean to shock anyone itt but the only fare enforcement ive ever seen was on the routes that goes thru the poor parts of town. Never seen one on a bus going to Tech Guy City.

Loved just tossing a fistful of nickels into the fare hopper back in the day. If the driver gave you any stink eye, we'd just say "Did you see how many coins that was? Did you hear how much noise it made as the coins dropped? That's how you know I paid the correct amount."

Which was the style at the time.

They would do this on the sounder train a lot, but that's probably because the tickets cost more

There are a handful of bus lines designated 'Select Bus' where you don't pay as you enter. You either buy a ticket beforehand or use one of the tap kiosks on the bus to pay after you've boarded. So they do spot checks to try to have some kind of fare enforcement.

I mean it's still dumb and lovely and they should abolish all fares on public transit and pay for it out of existing property taxes and a new vacancy tax but lol at good things ever happening here.

In all seriousness the NYPD will casually watch people commit crimes all day long without intervening and then attempt to enforce laws that were never on the books whenever they're feeling cranky, living in NYC is just treating them the way I imagine Byzantines treated the Huns.
