One Hell of a Disclaimer from the TTC

[jwmorrice]

I recently received an email from the TTC. I had asked them about some construction that was happening on the subway line. At the bottom of their reply was the following disclaimer:

Never seen anything quite like it. Do you think they left anything out?

Pretty standard corporate disclaimer, actually.

Doesn't TTC stand for "take the car"?

Yup!

In real life I am the TTC's lawyer. You have violated our agreement by publishing this disclaimer on the web. Prepare to DIE!

In my opinion the salary they are making is just obscene for the education they had, (somewhat close to the oldest profession) especially for the supervisors and those guys who just stare at the fare box at rush hour. I wonder if 80 or 85% of the annual TTC budget actually goes to those overpaid and generally fat staff - and the TTC whines of not enough money every year.

They're not the only ones! It's a CHORUS of whiners when you consider the whole Metro government and all their components!
The money wasted in duplications, foreign trips, consultants, bloated expense accounts, club memberships, more consultants, over staffing, multiple layers of management, escalating computer leases, committees, sub-committees, additional consultants....the list goes on and on! then you have City Hall politicians drawing salary while campaigning in the Federal election, despite promises not to! Aw shucks, its only tax payers' money and it comes from a bottomless pit, right?
