Why are we putting lives at risk by keeping the subways open?

People are smashed together in those cars despite the order that the rest of the country endures.

Aren't the lives of New Yorkers more important than the continued subway operation?

Update: See post 21 for my point

They get what they deserve. They voted for the leadership in NY, the death toll is their reward.....and they'll likely re-elect them.

You don't read much, do you? The answers to your questions have been given here ad nauseam.

To recap for the research challenged: Most New Yorkers don't have cars, so for essential workers to get to their jobs they need the subways. And the subways have been pretty empty because everyone else is staying home.

You're welcome. /thread

I would imagine this is the only means of transportation for many essential workers, especially healthcare workers. I'm sure they're not loving it either.

OP and bobbythegreat are conservatives/Republicans/statist libertarians in some form.

Why are they complaining about public transportation being open or being negative about it?

Am I a conservative now? It's hard to keep up, to ancaps I'm a socialist, to socialists I'm a conservative. I guess it just depends on what kind of extremist I'm talking to at the moment.

They're not complaining. They're bringing awareness to leftist hypocrisy by presenting a thought-provoking question. Unfortunately, some people seem too distracted to even think about the question.
