my kiddo says it's snowing in the nyc subways. [View all]

so, my middle kid lives in brooklyn. works in queens, her bf works in manhatten. checked in w her today. she’s home, but the bf had to work.
i asked how long it took him to get to work.
she- not bad.
me- well, i guess it doesnt snow in the subway.
s- actually, it’s been raining in the subway lately. like, pouring rain. some sections got snow.

this is a disaster waiting to happen. if water is pouring in, concrete WILL fail. dollar signs followed by a b’s flashing through my mind.
and with things the way they r, nobody is gonna do shit until that disaster happens.

life in a shithole country.
