Another Capitalist Cock-up

Though I haven't been to any comedy clubs lately, I would think comedians would be having a field day cracking jokes about the Toronto Transit Commission. They put machines called The Presto System in subways so passengers can buy their tickets from them and they can lay off workers.
The trouble is it ain't exactly, ''Hey Presto I got my ticket'', co's ten per cent of 'em aren't working. On February 22, Toronto's Deputy Mayor, Denzil Minnan Wong, called Presto,''A horrible disaster.'' He didn't call it,''Another capitalist cock-up,'' which would've been closer to the truth. 

Better to have a system where the profit motive is removed and things are run properly even if the laughs are fewer. 

Steve and John.
