Anyone with half a brain should know how a vehicle on rails works. A vehicle on rails can only go where the rails are. If the rails are blocked you can’t move. A rubber tire vehicle can be sent down almost any street in the city. The ability to change routes as needed is an asset that is impossible with a vehicle on rails.
How loving of the late Margaret Thatcher eight years after her death to provide us a visual of what she meant when she said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
I still miss that lady…
If it stopped at my front door and waited ten minutes for me, gave me a whiskey and seven when I entered with some cheese to nibble, had some good tunes playing, I’d probably still walk because no matter what happens, you’re still in Milwaukee. Location, location, location.
A venture by a Democrat that costs money now! Had to have his Street Car-now no one comes to Milw! Your no Mayor Maier Mr Barrett! That money could have helped somewhere else and not cost Milw more expenses!
