You probably already know that while the T is getting the $160 million it asked for specifically to avoid a fare increase, and over $50 million more in stimulus money, they're still planning to go ahead with a 20% fare hike. 

Their excuse?  "Without further action soon we will simply be back in a deficit again next year, and the year following."  As we all know, with or without a fare increase this year they'll be back in a deficit again next year, and the year following, and the year after that.    

Obviously, the punks at the MBTA feel they can push us around with impunity.  And, well, the truth is, if history is any indication: they can.  Because people bitch and moan, but it's always the same seven people who show up for the fare hike hearings.  But it's not for lack of passion for public spectacle.  As I've noted before, hundreds — sometimes thousands — of people show up for the annual zombie walk. 

The solution is obvious, really, isn't it?

All you hot-shit hipster zombies out there — I know you use the T.  I've seen you on the red line. Me and my six superfriends would like to challenge you to a Battle Royale:



We'll throw in Grabauskas's brains to sweeten the pot (I know it's a meager prize, but think of it as a zombie nouvelle cuisine delicacy).
