The MTA Keeping Tabs On Customers?

Posted by Kanesha Stith on February 25, 2009

Today was another normal day. I went on with my life as I do any other Wednesday morning. Wake up, Get dressed, eat, and walk to the B12 in Brooklyn, NY. But this morning I heard something that made me chuckle. A MTA worker drove pass me and told me to move away from the bus station. I thought he was being arrogant so I moved a little. Then he told me all of the NYC bus stations are equipped with cameras in which you are being watched. Sounds good for someone who rides the bus after dark, but no. I was on my cellphone and he told me to move away from the bus station or else I could be fined $1,000.

 He said its producing radiation and I could be giving someone radiation. So the cameras are there to document you on the phone. its scans your phone, tells who you were on the phone with, what time and how long. Isn’t this something? Someone comes to your home and presents you the fine of $1,000, as if the economy isnt doing bad now. If you try to deny it your phone will get confiscated as if you where in high school. Have you every seen a MTA cleaning truck? They drive around and clean the bus stations. They are also equipped with a camera. The man told me he would have taken a picture of me, but his camera was frozen. Thank God for cold freezing weather. But he said he would have just warned me.

Smoking, eating or drinking will gain you a $150 ticket as well. If you would like to use you phone, smoke, eat, or drink you have to move away from the bus station. I personally think this is just a way for you to miss the bus.  I am currently researching more on this topic.

This Economy Is So Messed UP!!!

Posted by Kanesha Stith on February 22, 2009

Every since the economic crisis, many people have found themselves struggling to make ends meet. The price of food, rent, and utilies have increased while the pay has stayed the same forcing many people to leave choose between food or rent. The issue has become worse when people started losing their jobs just as 34-year old Patti-Ann Mullings and many other Americans. But President Obama is so sure the situation will get better because of a tax cut. Saying many people will have more money in their pockets hoping they will go out and purchase things which will eventually save people form losing their jobs. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!

Posted by Kanesha Stith on February 17, 2009

18coney-6007Coney Island was supposedly closing for years now. It was closed at a particular time and then the park was opened in the summer time. This 9.4 acre property containing housing, shopping, parks, and much amusement was saved with $100 million by a civic prominent ccivic organization. This memorable park has been around for decades including the infamous Coney Island Beach. With the present recession, no one can predict how well the amusement park will do. Jesse Masyr said to the NY times, “We want to create a 21st- century Coney Island.”

There are many issues rising in the issue of Barack Obama bringing the economy back to its status quo… Check out what people are saying about this issue. Is is an issue that everyone in America is concerned about. Well maybe not the non-taxpayers. They could care less. Unless of course someone tell them they have to pay taxes.
