True:This is the legacy of the 2010 storm when the MTA got caught completely off-guard because of the Christmas holiday falling where it did and preventing many with the MTA from having access to normal media as a result (as noted, since adjusted to where such media is available even on Christmas Day). The "Ambulance Chasers" in my view are the ones responsible for this, especially because the MTA likely was afraid to make people come in Christmas Day out of fear of blowback from family members and religious types in 2010. As said, I would not be surprised if there is blowback the other way this time, especially from Wall Street firms who would remind the MTA and state this didn't happen in 2006 or any other storm that could include the MTA being taken to court by such firms, especially if they have to deal with people from Asia who would very quickly point out people in Japan went to work as usual even when the massive earthquake and tsunami hit and again more recently during a Super Typhoon like nothing happened. |
