No shit. Every time I go to Boston to see my parents, my mother is constantly bitching about the rats. There are numerous rat burrow holes in the back yard and there is rat shit everywhere. She has been throwing poison everywhere, but according to a buddy who is in fact a professional exterminator, she is just wasting money.

No that's called bad budgeting. Had the leadership properly budgeted their cash they could do both. They didn't. The leadership constantly has been fucking it up.

It was underfunded because they pulled money from the maintenance budget to pay for all their projects. They could have done fewer projects and had plenty of cash to pay for maintenance. It's a leadership problem.

That's because they directed most of their cash towards capital projects and deliberately underfunded maintenance. That's a leadership issue.

We have been throwing money at the T for almost 20 years. We have got nothing back. At this point the solution isn't throw more money.

That's not a money problem but more finding the people who are willing to do the job. It's also a toxic work culture that needs to be corrected.

We have been throwing money at the problem for years. It hasn't worked then. It's a people problem not a money problem.
