In a move that could only come from the government, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York has come up with a plan to keep subway stations cleaner. The MTA runs the subways in New York through its subsidiary agency the NY Transit Authority. So what is the plan? Just this: the MTA is going to remove all trash cans from the subway stations. The reasoning of the MTA is that by removing the trash receptacles, people will have no place to throw their refuse and will just hold on to it until they reach a place where they can dispose of the trash.
What is next? Will the Obama folks come up with a plan to cut medical costs by closing all the hospitals? People can just treat themselves and costs will be cut. Will Mayor Bloomberg of New York decide to cut speeding on New York City streets by removing speed limits? Maybe the New York Parks Department will end damage to the trees in Central Park by cutting them all down.
You really have to wonder who was the genius who though up this idea and, even more so, who were the supervisors who endorsed it.
