@WestHarlm@WSJ What's your end goal here? Would you rather see nyc burn and Mamdani fail than to see if flourish and Mamdani be successful? Crime is at a record low, largest public infrastructure investments in decades, and you think the city needs to "get back on its feet"?
@EricsRambles@DannyInTransit@NYCTSubway Lmao I've lived in nyc my whole life, but thats besides the point. Ik mta projects cost way more than in other cities, but thats true for all projects in nyc. Thats why mamdani + hochul are cutting things like environmental review down. i was hoping you had an empirical study
@EricsRambles@DannyInTransit@NYCTSubway But they do get a ton of money. I imagine you make these claims based on evidence of some sort, so if you can point me to any papers on MTA misspending I would love to read them
@EricsRambles@DannyInTransit@NYCTSubway I guess I struggle to see how MTA wastes money? I don't think they are by any means maximum efficiency, but the agency also has the herculean task of keeping a system of crumbling infrastructure running smoothly, while simultanesouly updating and expanding it
@EricsRambles@DannyInTransit@NYCTSubway Why live in nyc if you dislike public transit? Literally the rest of the country is built for cars, you would never have to worry about their transit agencies being funded
@EricsRambles@DannyInTransit@NYCTSubway You thought 1 year of congestion pricing was going to magically fix a system thats been underfunded for almost a century?
Shocking Upper West Side bagel news.
Absolute Bagels is "closed for good," multiple employees said on Thursday.
The storefront is already shuttered.
Unclear the reasoning for the closure but it is not the health department.
“There are many problems. The owner is old.”
@Molson_Hart Concluding that after everything Moses did made nyc was a better place after reading the power broker is such an incorrect reading of the book I’m thinking you didn’t actually read it
@OriginWx@TiffanyShepis@mia_tretta@BrownUniversity So mental health initiatives would cause something worse? Why don’t you advocate for increased mental health clinics, reduced homelessness, and other factors that increase depression? Are these not things that would lower gun violence according to you?
@OriginWx@TiffanyShepis@mia_tretta@BrownUniversity I mean what is your end goal here? Mine is to minimize human suffering. Stabbing kill a fraction of the people guns do so yes it is an objectively more acceptable form of violence. But again, these are not mutually exclusive and should be dealt with simultaneously
@OriginWx@TiffanyShepis@mia_tretta@BrownUniversity I honestly think you’re a bot or just have 0 brain cells. Anyone who compares knife attacks to shootings has to be disingenuous or just flat out an imbecile. You’ve also yet to propose a solution lmao you dgaf about gun deaths
@OriginWx@TiffanyShepis@mia_tretta@BrownUniversity SO PROPOSE SOMETHING. If my solution doesn’t work, propose an alternative!
And also these are not equal. Europe experiences violence but on a fraction of the scale the US does these are not equal things
@OriginWx@TiffanyShepis@mia_tretta@BrownUniversity These are not mutually exclusive things. I agree the mental health crisis contributes to gun violence, as does the prevalence of guns. I think we need to address both, simultaneously. What do you propose to deal with mental health?
@OriginWx@TiffanyShepis@mia_tretta@BrownUniversity What? It is not incumbent upon me to prove your point. Just say you don’t actually care about reducing gun violence bc you love guns and move on jfc. Seems like you don’t have anything to prove me wrong
