We do? Who expects that?
This is the first I’m hearing of it. I’ve never heard anyone say “oo, good, that guy we kicked out for being a gross sex pest is back, I bet we’re about to get a great work of art.” That’s deranged.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

They ignore the fact that transit is the safest mode, so making transit slow increases car trips, making streets LESS SAFE
