Commuter Contempt

Staggering stats from an anonymous chart.

I’m American, I complain about my gas prices, and I will not shut the fuck up. You know why? Because they are GD expensive, that’s why. I can’t keep on keepin’ my shit on if I’m shelling out a shitload of legal tender when I fill the fuck up. Jeez, it almost makes me want to get out in the fresh air, walk to where I need to go, get healthy and fit and save a bunch of money. Almost.

Could it be?

The tax package that the House approved today and sent to President Obama for his signature this afternoon contains a one-year extension of the $230 per month commuter tax benefit for transit users.

Well guess what? It doesn’t fucking matter. My train ticket is being raised by 11.1% come January 1st. AND they won’t be offering me my 2.3% discount for ordering online. To you I say, “Fuck. And. You.”
