To a point:The problem is, Wall Street has to look at the global circle. I'm sure a lot of workers who can't be at their desks today and/or tomorrow are going to be extremely PO'ed if they now have to go into work on Super Bowl weekend and have those parties screwed up (and those are very important in a lot of ways). The point was, the underground portions have NOT been shut down in a snowstorm for many, many years, including other record-setting storms in 1983, '96, 2003 and '06 and the MTA never had problems. 2010 was to me caused by the Christmas holiday being where it was and that playing havoc with media availability (since corrected) that caused the MTA to be ill-prepared as while it was known by Christmas morning the storm was going to be bad in weather circles, unless you were watching special webcasts many people didn't find out until Christmas night, which caused much to be done too late. And since writing what I did, it's been noted Wall Street may not even have to take the state to court to make it clear never to shut down the underground again UNLESS it's a Sandy-like situation where flooding is a major concern. They can make it clear to Cuomo doing so would have unintended consequences that could include for him having donations withheld if he decides to run for President in 2020 or '24 for example. |
