As I mentioned in another comment, Project 2025 calls for cuts to public transit and instead giving funding and subsidies to private companies like Uber or Lyft to provide transit. Republicans already hate funding transit so how do these easy remedies appear to you? If transit was properly funded, Uber wouldn't have done this to begin with.

- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoWest Virginia is a welfare state and the 3rd most dependent on federal funding. California actually gives more money than it gets from the fed. Most red states aren't subsidizing anything, they are the ones living off subsidies. Transit funding at the federal level supports ALL states. Projects in red states are being built due to the transit infrastructure bill passed under Biden.

- mmooss 1y agoSure there is, such as cooperation, care for others, responsibility for others. Why should those things stop at the West Virginia border? Why fund public goods in West Virginia? Maybe we should fund none at all, have no responsibility for anyone but ourselves.
