That's nice. And before that, his (subsidized) work enabled the
freedoms that you take for granted.

Military servicemen are NOT subsidized. They are PAID for
their service by the government.

Public transportation is NEVER sulf-sustaining, ALWAY subsidized.

Some military personnel PAY the dearest price of all: Their
LIFE. Over three thousand United States military persons
paid that price in Iraq alone since our invasion of that
country in 2003.

Many just pay with failed marriages and alcohol abuse from the long
separations and stresses of military life. Others do pay with their
lives.

I wonder what Jimmy thinks is a "subsidy" for volunteering
to give their LIFE for their country?

Consider the survivoring families of the WTC VS the surviving military
families of the Pentagon...

Some hit the jackpot, other got enough to bury their loved ones.

Larry Roll was a MSgt in the USAF. If I understand his period of
service, his "inactive" service commitment of 10 years just expired.
That's twenty years of putting your freedoms ahead of himself and his
family, followed by another 10 years of being on call to do it again.

Brian, that is irrelevant to Jimmy. Jimmy knows nothing of
military service, isn't involved, isn't a participant, never
was, never volunteered, wan't even a ("subsidized")
government worker.

Here's a plain and simple fact: By all apearances in this
newsgroup, James Miccolis has only ONE standard of others:
Morsemen are "good," non-morsemen are "bad, wrong, in error"
(and usually of lesser status as human beings).

It's the amateur morsemen's way...

If so, he has very sad outlook on life.

Interesting. I've NEVER heard of a subsidized taxi company. Is
Greyhound subsidized too? Did you figure this out all by your "sulf"?

Not vewy Innewesting at all.

Yellow Cab and Greyhound are for profit corporations.

Amtrak, Metropolitan Transit Authority (NYC), and Chicago Transit
Authority are public and are subsidized.

Of course they are. They're still public transportation. Your error is
noted.

Authority are public and are subsidized.

I've just given you a couple of examples which are public and not
subsidized.

It depends on what is considered "public" transportation.

Taxi companies and Greyhound are private enterprises, AFAIK. While they
do not receive direct money from the government, their business is
supported/facilitated by the government's use of tax money to build and
maintain roads, bridges, tunnels, etc.

Most forms of transportation receive or have received some form of
government support. Airlines don't build airports, trucking companies
don't build roads, shipping companies don't dredge harbors, etc. Yes,
their taxes and user fees help pay for those things, but those user
fees and taxes are on a pay-as-you-go basis, and rarely pay for the
entire cost.

This isn't a new thing - the Erie Canal wasn't built by private
enterprise, and the construction of the transcontinental railroad was
government funded - though the railroads paid back the construction
cost many times over in the form of real estate and other taxes.

To quote Webster (New Collegiate Dictionary):

"a grant by a government to a private person or comapny to assist an
enterprise *deemed advantageous to the public*" (emphasis added)

So your car and my car are public transportation?

You'll say and do anything to back up Dave.

Jimmy reached so far in that faulty logic that his hand is in the
next universe. :-)

By Miccolis "Wispy" Logic (not quite the "Fuzzy" kind), anyone
who rides on public transport and pays income tax means the
government is "subsidizing" public transport! :-)

This is getting hilarious. Too bad it is so sick...

Jimmy never served in the military.
Jimmy never volunteered to serve in the military.
Jimmy never served in any of his governments.
Jimmy "knows" all about the military and government!

Blech...

Are they part of a taxi company?

Are they part of a bus line?

I don't think so.

You'll say and do anything to back up Dave.

Nope.

How do *you* define "public transportation"?

Does it mean transportation services that are available to the general
public?

Or does it mean transportation services that are owned by the general
public?
