Penn Station is Hell. It’s likely to get worse.

Well, isn't that what you deserve when you demolish the real Penn Station? And after all that, they went ahead with gutting the Farley Post Office? Fuck Business Week and its priorities.

You do realize that millions of people who had nothing to do with that decision—who weren't even born when it happened—are the ones suffering for it? To say nothing of everyone who uses those tunnels, voted for Obama and against Trump, but is now dealing with the federal government saying they won't help pay for the repairs. (I'm willing to listen to an argument that, as an American, I bear some of the responsibility for bad national policy: but I am no more responsible for this one than you are, and less so than the people who voted for the administration that's doing it.)
