Daniel BowenI wish I could find it now, but the strangest reaction I’ve seen online to free public transport was along the lines of “It’s not fair, public transport staff deserve to be paid.” Uhh yeah that’s not how it works. #Melbourne
the gripe ibis@danielbowen oh that's a fantastic find.
i never considered that angle. i can't even argue because it's not an argument. it's a statement, and a totally irrelevant one.
and worst of all, fundamentally, i agree. they do deserve to be paid. they deserve it so much that they are, in fact, being paid. old mate has achieved total rhetorical victory.
