What amazes me about statists is that they expect government workers to work for them.

It is not designed to make a profit now, and that is the problem. If it were for profit, they would not be tolerating any turnstile jumping. Duh.

@Bobmcjoepants The MTA does receive subsidies from the city and state. Hence, not for profit. How can Switzerland have free transit? They don't have the kind of human animals we have, who cannot appreciate free things.

It's funny watching a Jay, Ee, double you, realize everything that gent isles have already realized.

@Bobmcjoepants If the revenue isn't going to pay their expenses then they are NOT for profit, because no investor would invest on a company with a plan to not make money. The fact the MTA has to step OUTSIDE the free market to get money from the government makes it not for profit. You can only be for profit if you are 100% within the free market. If you step outside and get one cent from the government you are now controlled by that state.

@Bobmcjoepants It depends what is in their contract with their shareholders. Capitalism is about contracts. If they all agree to not be for profit and be for helping people then that's what it is.
