public transit death spiral

The process by which a chronically deprioritized, underfunded and racialized municipal public transit system originally conceived as a public good for efficient daily mobility needs is further morphed by the political establishment and the capitalist system into an afterthought with an unsustainably funding model, leading to a feedback loop of reduced service, reduced ridership and reduced investment to the detriment of all people.

"Do you remember back in 2020 when the United States Congress failed to appropriate necessary funds during the COVID-19 pandemic and thus enabled a nationwide public transit death spiral from which we're still recovering in 2040?"
"Yeah, that sure was disappointing and avoidable!"

tech spiral

When a high-level technical discussion is derailed by a pernickety exploration of implementation details. Often exacerbated by a heady brew of opinion and speculation.

We were ploughing through our daily stand-up the other day until that bogan plunged us into a tech spiral, costing us 25 minutes with a discussion on the correct means of parsing hashes.
