Liberal politics: my city is contemplating hiring external security firms for and blocking access to metro stations

One of the metro lines I frequently take has had a defect escalator for over a year now because there seems to be no money whatsoever to fix it. Buses and metros are absolutely packed 90% of the time because of delays or canceled vehicles.

But now there seems to be money for external security firms to tackle people not paying for a ticket. Also, the politicians want to block access to the platform without a ticket with gates.

When is it enough? When do we as working people stop the insults?

Liberal model of dealing with things is to spend more money than would be required to give it too everyone for free so you can continue to make sure your lobbyist gets paid.
The deteriorating service and increased violence against those trying to engage in it in good faith is the point, like with the DWP it would be cheaper just to give everyone what they wanted, but then they would have to give up the club they can beat the proles with, and when has the upper class willingly given up its club when asked? Never.

In my opinion, it passed enough a long time ago but I look around and no one is as mad as I am most of the time
