The rich of New York City and New Jersey take cabs
and cabbies regularly cut people off in the entrance lanes of bridges and tunnels.

and who the fuck cares about how we drive anyway?

We all look awful naked and our shit stinks - it doesn't mean some are born with immense advantages in our class-ridden society.

3. The 'Post' button at the top of the page starts a new thread - the 'reply' link in the
lower right corner of a post adds a reply to an existing thread. Methinks you may have confused the two (or else your 'rich people cabbie tunnel naked shit' thought process is just too deep for me...)

5. Response to Mr. Stewart
"And yet these millions of cars must somehow find a way to squeeze one by one into a mile long 30 foot wide tunnel carved underneath a mighty river. Carved, by the way, by people who I’m sure had their differences. And they do it. Concession by conscession. You go. Then I’ll go. You go. Then I’ll go. You go then I’ll go. Oh my God, is that an NRA sticker on your car? Is that an Obama sticker on your car? Well, that’s okay—you go and then I’ll go.

And sure, at some point there will be a selfish jerk who zips up the shoulder and cuts in at the last minute, but that individual is rare and he is scorned and not hired as an analyst.

Because we know instinctively as a people that if we are to get through the darkness and back into the light we have to work together. And the truth is, there will always be darkness. And sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t the promised land. Sometimes it’s just New Jersey. But we do it anyway, together."

My point - who the fuck cares about New Jersey or the Lincoln tunnel.

Most Americans would love to be driving to work on Wall Street where they can earn 120k as entry-level accountants.

New Yorkers, including Stewart don't have a clue about the rest of the country.
