<p>And then we&#8217;ll be devoured like a <a href="http://www.munidiaries.com/2010/02/18/kfc-run-on-l-taraval/" target="_self">bucket of KFC</a> or a <a href="/2010/02/21/fuck-you-your-ham-cheese-croissant/" target="_self">ham and cheese croissant</a>.  Muni is insatiable these days, and even with <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/rbudgjan2010/budgjan10fares.htm" target="_self">unfair fare increases</a> (see what I did there?) and <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/rbudgjan2010/servicetable.htm" target="_self">service being cut</a> all over the city, its new director will make <a href="http://sfappeal.com/news/2010/02/munis-got-a-new-boss-bet-he-makes-more-than-you.php" target="_self">$225,039</a>!!!  And despite all that, it&#8217;s still a <a href="http://www.munidiaries.com/2010/02/19/muni-employee-quote-of-the-month/" target="_self">self-admitted sinking ship</a>.</p>
<p>So, how does everyone feel about the proposed <em><a href="http://marchagainstmuni.org/pledge" target="_self">March Against Muni</a></em> boycott?  It&#8217;s not a &#8220;march&#8221; in the classical sense but instead a rather clever pun which asks participants to &#8220;pledge not to buy a March Fast Pass and stop or reduce riding Muni for the month of March 2010.&#8221;  Some of their <a href="http://marchagainstmuni.org/demands" target="_self">demands</a> are reasonable (no more rude drivers), some are pure fantasy (no more delays&#8211;sure dudes, whatev), and some are completely contradictory (no more paper fast passes <em>AND</em> no more exploiting seniors&#8211;make up your minds!). </p>
<p><a href="http://www.munidiaries.com/2010/02/22/thoughts-on-march-against-muni/" target="_self">Jeff over at Muni Diaries</a> thinks that since Muni&#8217;s problems resulted primarily from <a href="http://www.calitics.com/diary/11143/will-sf-transit-advocates-fall-for-a-rightwing-attack-on-muni" target="_self">Governator-imposed budget slashes</a>, a boycott will only worsen Muni&#8217;s monetary outlook and ability to serve the city.  He makes a good point.</p>
<p>So what do you think?  Will this lead to cleaner, on-time buses?  Over-crowded bike lanes?  Or will it just push Muni past the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssgJ5ruuKH4" target="_self">event horizon</a> into the swirling vortex of bankruptcy and deterioration?</p>
