The ongoing VTA strike is severely impacting vulnerable groups, particularly disabled individuals dependent on public transport, as highlighted by letters from affected commuters. While some commuters express frustration and understanding of the workers' rights to strike, the lack of alternative transportation exacerbates their struggles. Additionally, Trump is criticized for failing to uphold his promise of eliminating taxes on Social Security, raising concerns about his motives and priorities, particularly regarding support for the wealthy over the needs of seniors.
As a disabled woman, the ongoing VTA strike has devastated my life. I cannot drive, so I depend on the buses for transportation. I cannot afford Uber every day.
I acknowledge that VTA employees are fully within their rights to go on strike in protest of unfair compensation, but many people cannot afford the luxury of owning a vehicle.
Trump's promise to eliminate the income tax on Social Security benefits could easily be actioned, yet his actions seem to ignore the seniors who rely on this income.
It doesn't help his billionaire friends, for one, and he needs our money to support the subsidies for Elon Musk's businesses at least $38 billion over the years.
