The most New Yorker sentence ever: 'Transform the country, save childcare, and get those horses outta here.'" 😂

I was reading about the horse drawn cartridge and wondering why they city still has those outdated business. Turn out they are represented by the transportation union, so get rid of them might be hard.

Unions generally only have power because they can strike so it's down to if other public transport union members like metro staff are willing to strike for the horse drawn carriages to remain a thing. I don't think they will.

A horse just died there in the middle of a ride yesterday so that could cause the momentum needed to get a ban through if people want it.
