DC METRO POPE DOOM (probably the only doom we will see) is really just business as usual.
I am going to say it like it is. I rode the DC metro several times between 2001-2003. And it was beautiful. Then I rode it 10 years later and it was the wost piece of trash I have ever seen peddled in the name of the public. ALL, and I mean ALL escalators were broken. Not a single one worked. EVERY, and I mean EVERY, WITHOUT EXEPTION EVERY train that had to go a long distance (more than 15 miles) was stopped on the tracks and delayed for one reason or another for no less than 40 minutes. At first I thought a rescue would be needed, but after time 20 or so I realized it was just that poorly maintained. And the prices were absolutely ridiculous. Yet at that time it was the only option.
So when you hear about the DC metro going black for the pope, it is just BUSINESS AS USUAL, the DC metro is a perfect reflection of the state of the union under the rule of Washington, where everything gets parasite sucked out of the public with zero return and whatever pathetic efforts are made to keep a system running are all done by totally unqualified politically correct hire-ons in maintenance, who could not super glue a coffee cup back together, let alone fix an escalator or actually make a train run.
I was appalled and disgusted by the DC metro, which only a short while ago was a brand new sparkling gem of a system. Contrast that with Mexico city which has quite a few 50 year old trains and the Boston metro, where 100 year old train cars still look new on the Green line and the entire thing runs like a swiss watch, with nothing broken anywhere and DIRT CHEAP FARES. Yes, Mexico's capitol city kicks America's in the rear end in many ways, BIG TIME. Better roads, better buses, better metro, and I am not talking by a little. And as bad as Mexico city gets ripped for traffic, it is a dream to drive in compared to DC to boot, because the roads are so much better and despite massive traffic, an ad hock system is in place where people do not get pegged for every little infraction and it all works perfect, Mexico city actually moves partly because drivers are not afraid to do what it takes, and despite this there are very few accidents.
The government core of Mexico city makes much of DC look like a neglected ghetto, and that is not an exaggeration. DC is in awful condition. One step onto the subways in both cities tell the beginning, middle and end of the story. Even the old stations in Mexico city are in amazingly perfect condition and clean clean CLEAN. New stations in DC are totally torn to sh_t and smell like a bathroom that has not been mopped for a decade. America is getting parasite sucked to death, and the condition Washington DC is cold hard proof. Perfectly fitting for a government center that wanted to greet the Pope with homosexuals and a pro abortion feminist, WELCOME TO YOUR METRO POWER OUTAGE IN THIRD WORLD AMERICA. Oh, did I insult respectable government elsewhere with that third world statement?
