«There are lots of issues that Asian Americans share, ... one being the immigrant experience, being relatively recent immigrant arrivals.

They are slow to recognize the need to harden the system against potential attacks.»
Author: John Liu
«There's no accountability for the MTA right now, and there's a huge burden on the workers. Everyone shares the blame, but the MTA in my opinion bears most of the onus if there's a shutdown.»
