While this seems like a minor incident, I do think it reflects a growing two-tier society in America where certain connected people are not only granted privilege when it comes to low interest loans, bailouts and a free pass on the rule of law, but increasingly, also special treatment in the smaller things. Incredibly, in Boston, bureaucrats’ parking spaces are immediately cleaned off even while those of the handicapped remain covered in snow. From The Boston Herald:
With much of Massachusetts buried under mountains of snow while residents shoveled out their cars, state lawmakers parked on Beacon Hill in special snow-free parking spaces courtesy of taxpayer-funded plows, the Truth Squad has found.
The free, reserved spaces for lawmakers around the State House were cleared of all snow within hours after the storm ended, while spaces reserved for city residents still remain entombed in snow, untouched by city plows.
