Do you know that the subway system is largely underground? Did you know was planning on running the trains tonight and had a plan in place (Plan V)? These "stupid" people you talk about will now have to hit the streets instead of relying on the mostly protected subway system. And because the decision was made so late, the trains are running anyway.
