Posted by Andrew Saucci on Tue Aug 3 21:28:18 2021, in response to Unipartisan Infrastructure Bill vote, posted by Olog-hai on Tue Aug 3 05:29:22 2021. I took one look at the original subject and thought to myself, "Nothing is bipartisan these days." After reading your response, I am reminded again as I am daily these days of Patrick McGoohan's series The Prisoner. One of the eerie aspects that was broadly hinted (but like pretty much everything else in the series, was not explicitly stated) was the idea that one of the unanswered questions that started almost every episode was as unimportant and irrelevant as Number Six thought it critical. That question is "Whose side are you on!" The evasive response was "That would be telling." I believe "telling" should be taken more in the sense of "revealing" than "tattling." The repeated insinuation is that both sides actually run the Village together-- and why escape is futile. So it doesn't matter whether you are pro-car, pro-bus, or pro-subway-- Bridges and Tunnels, Transit, and Bus all start with the one and same MTA! |
