According to Politico, the biggest public transit system in America
is facing ruin. Will Congress step in and save it?
After the coronavirus hit, New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority got
a four billion dollar bailout from Washington. They blew through it.
Now they're facing a ten billion dollar deficit, and they're
worried the three billion dollars the MTA gets from taxes
(00:22):
won't come through because the tax base has gone. Now
all options are supposedly on the table. Massive increases in fairs,
slashing the workforce, which means war with the union, slashing
the operating budget, slashing service. Even if Governor Cuomo takes
all these actions, they're still gonna be billions in the whole.
(00:43):
If New York Mass Transit fails, Liberals fear it will
lead to an economic crisis in the entire Northeast. So
New York politicians are begging the federal government for thirty
two billion dollars to keep the transit authority going. Democrats
who run the House are happy to spend whatever Andrew
Cuomo and Chuck you Schumer asked for, but Republicans not
(01:04):
so much. Why should the Republicans intervene. Northeast liberals have
spent every wakened moment for the last four years trashing Trump,
and now they come in hat in hand, begging for
billions to save the city. They are destroying the proper responses.
It's hold, we go pound sand and at a landfill.
Let them fix their problems themselves. They're gonna have to
(01:25):
save that city somehow, especially since their policies caused these problems.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
