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?"

A technique used in the portable, two player game Dots and Boxes. A move derived from both ancient French and Syrian culture. If done incorrectly, this will result the tragic loss of the player enacting it, and thus considered a highly risky move. Ancient aramaic texts depict this move to be a pact with the force of evil as well, a very risky move indeed.
"This game of Dots and Boxes has been going on forever Arin, what is the score?"
"Dan used the Spirale Bourguignon a second ago and took the whole god dang board!"
