Editorial: Privatization could give MBTA the boost it needs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:58:25 GMT

If the MBTA is looking for a slogan, we suggest this: “It’s always something.”The latest “something” is the revelation that tracks on stretches of the new $2.3 billion Green Line Extension are too narrow.As the Herald reported, the speed in spots along the affected lines, which bring service to Union Square in Somerville and Tufts-Medford, has dropped to 3 miles per hour, according to the T’s slow zone dashboard. That’s the low end of what a mobility scooter can do.This particularly expensive whoops moment raises the question: When will the powers that be hit the Pacheco point with the MBTA?The Pacheco law restricts the MBTA from outsourcing work that its own employees could theoretically do. Then-Gov. Charlie Baker sought and was granted a three-year waiver from the law back in 2015, after a brutal winter saw bruising failures across the system.During that time, the T con­tracted out a range of services such as fare collection, the call center, m...

‘Fair Play’ fumbles, fizzles and flops

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:58:25 GMT

“Fair Play” begins with a young, drunk, attractive couple who cannot keep their hands off one another at a party while Donna Summer’s “Love to Love You, Baby” purrs in the background. He has a high-pitched voice you might get tired of (I did), and his name is Luke Edmunds (Alden Ehrenreich, “Solo: A Star Wars Story”). She speaks in a weird vocal fry that might get on your nerves (it did mine). She is from working-class Long Island, and her name is Emily Meyers (Englishwoman Phoebe Dynevor, “Bridgerton”).  After getting smeared with blood during a sexual interlude, Luke and Emily get secretly engaged (Is blood not ever a warning sign?). They do so secretly because it is against official policy at the high-flying New York City investment firm, where they work. Not only do they work at the same company, they sit a few feet apart in the office.In opening scenes, a young executive at their firm is fired and uses a golf club to smash his computer to bits while he weeps and swears pr...

Antoni: Expect more rate hikes if spending continues

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:58:25 GMT

The Federal Reserve’s rapid interest rate hikes over the last year have caused credit to become more expensive for consumers and businesses. The monthly mortgage payment on a median price home has more than doubled since January 2021 and credit-card interest rates are at a record high.Worse, the economy is stuck with these high interest rates because the government can’t control its spending.Interest rates are the price for borrowing money and, like all prices, they’re determined by supply and demand. The supply of loanable funds is provided by savers and the demand is generated by borrowers. Interest rates will rise if there is either a decrease in savings or an increase in borrowing. And the Treasury Department has increased its borrowing in spades.Because of runaway spending by Congress and the White House, the federal deficit has exploded. Consequently, the Treasury borrowed $2.8 trillion and $1.4 trillion in fiscal years 2021 and 2022, respectively. The current fiscal year’s de...

Yandle: Consumers ignored by labor & posturing pols

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:58:25 GMT

In an unprecedented move by a sitting president, Joe Biden joined a United Auto Workers picket line in Michigan on Tuesday in a strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre indicated the president wants to make it clear that he stands on the side of workers.This oversimplification suggests just two sides to the controversy — labor and management. But there is at least one other important side: consumers, and lots of them. Some families and communities suffer when a major employer is shuttered, with ramifications for schools, churches and governments.Why would a sitting president — one who promised to be the president of “all Americans” when taking office — decide to favor the UAW alone? Yes, workers have every right to strike and negotiate with their employers. And, yes, Biden has long supported labor. But the cold shoulder to consumers and affected communities across America still feels blatant.Speaking of blatant, Biden’s picket...
