Not only airplanes, but TRAINS continue to be delayed and outright canceled today -- two days after the last snowflake fell down.
Streets in New York remain unplowed and SUBWAYS suspended. All of it over a foot or two of snow, that was accurately predicted.
Is this what we are supposed to expect from a labor force, that is near 100% unionized and thus -- as union bigwigs have been telling us for years -- the most effective, efficient, and productive?

"Infrastructure cutbacks"? Which infrastructure exactly is it, that's preventing New York City from cleaning up snow well enough for ambulances to get through? What magic bullet COULD the government have purchased to prevent it from happening?
My monthly rail ticket is $250 -- or $10 for a round-trip ride -- does not THAT pay enough for functional signals, so that no tax-payer money is needed to subsidize my commute?
More evidence... This just arrived into my mailbox -- from NJ Transit:
<<North Jersey Coast Line train #3441 the 6:52pm from NYPS is Cancelled. Passengers to train #3281 the 7:22pm from NYPS.>>
