random NYC chatter

overheard on the 1 train yesterday, around 125th St:

"So, will this finally be the year teachers get a bonus and investment bankers don't?"

wouldn't that be fab?

Not a chance. School budgets going down.

I agree.

Bankers are smart, conniving bastards.

I should know. I go to school with a lot of would-be bankers.

Well, that depends. Will this finally be the year the teachers' union decides to support a winning candidate, versus opposing the guy who wins and then doing everything in their power to piss him off (as they've done through the last two administrations)? Not very likely, considering that we're not voting for mayor this year.
