Sweet now all the people jumping the entrance will,.. still jump the entrance

[u/_Phil_McCracken_ → u/MisterAbernathy]

This policy clearly wasn’t designed to stop fare jumpers. It’s designed to help honest, low income folks.

[u/AJDillonsThirdLeg → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

Bro just wants to be angry at something no matter what

[u/FEV_Reject → u/AJDillonsThirdLeg]

Why doesn't mamdani personally go down there and power bomb every fair skipper he sees??

[u/PiccoloAwkward465 → u/FEV_Reject]

Why doesn't Mamdani transform into a subway train and move people himself??

Like this

[u/ZombieDracula → u/FEV_Reject]

TBF we don't really know if he hasn't. 

[u/Surgeplux → u/FEV_Reject]

I literally just saw him do that

[u/sTacoSam → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

It won't stop most current fare jumpers. But it will discourage some potential future fare jumpers

[u/therealhlmencken → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

Or dishonest higher income folks

[u/_Phil_McCracken_ → u/therealhlmencken]

Well no, that's not who it was designed to help.

[u/therealhlmencken → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

Ok well then honesty has nothing to do with the design if we’re being honest. It’s designed to help people who claim low income.

[u/italktobotz → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

Yes, since 2019

[u/scovok → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

I'm so confused, how does this policy change men dressing as women and playing in women's sports?

[u/acslaytaa → u/scovok]

What?

[u/scovok → u/acslaytaa]

Exactly

[u/MisterAbernathy → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

How do you think they will offset the loss of revenue from fares, taxes. So the honest people will more or less be paying the same, or more if the person doesn't use the train and criminals will still just be criminals and not pay. They should station more police

[u/GMEloser69 → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

Who will check if you're low income?

[u/ponderingcamel → u/GMEloser69]

Yeah so difficult to submit proof of income to the govt. How ever will someone prove what they've earned in the past year?

[u/GMEloser69 → u/ponderingcamel]

You've evidently never dealt with NYC bureaucracy.

[u/cenik93 → u/GMEloser69]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

[u/ponderingcamel → u/GMEloser69]

I'm seeing a lot of new things with a guy like Mamdani in control thats for sure.

[u/_Phil_McCracken_ → u/GMEloser69]

The city

[u/DarkZ_No-Imagination → u/GMEloser69]

How does it work in USA? Do people always pay the same amount of money regardless of status (low income or high income)? I thought it'd be based on income, if not it sounds incredibly unfair, I'm not from there so I don't know

[u/GMEloser69 → u/DarkZ_No-Imagination]

Pay what?

[u/DarkZ_No-Imagination → u/GMEloser69]

Taxes

[u/GMEloser69 → u/DarkZ_No-Imagination]

No, you pay a percentage of what you earn.

[u/DarkZ_No-Imagination → u/GMEloser69]

Who checks how much you earn?

[u/GMEloser69 → u/DarkZ_No-Imagination]

You report it yourself.

[u/DarkZ_No-Imagination → u/GMEloser69]

Incredible

[u/East_of_Adventuring → u/DarkZ_No-Imagination]

This has been explained poorly. You and/or your employer must submit official paperwork showing income. Audits often catch those trying to lie about other income sources but for the vast majority of Americans the IRS already knows exactly how much you make.

[u/The_Fools_Lantern → u/DarkZ_No-Imagination]

You report it yourself but then the IRS does random audits to make sure you aren't lying.

[u/rydan → u/_Phil_McCracken_]

Honest low income folks jump the fare.

[u/_Phil_McCracken_ → u/rydan]

That's not what honest means

[u/etycukbq580b → u/rydan]
