Nobody talks about Israel more than these people.

@SimonMcGlynn4 @LoganLevkoff He’s Muslim, that’s what she doesn’t like. But she doesn’t want to say that

Ah, the famous quote printed on the Statue Of Liberty

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

Have you considered that maybe America is not a place for you.

[Asad🗽🍎 @AsadFromNYC]

I really hope the press challenges our local elected officials on why they marched side by side with the coterie of genocidaires identified in this thread the same way they challenge the mayor whenever he does literally anything.

@CUNY_Prof I guess that makes Israel’s government completely innocent once again

@RidleyDM @Opcn @queens_parents It’s not so much a “core” as it is a “fringe”

Almost everyone who bikes has some occasional needs to drive or doesn’t mind people driving carefully.

So you have to ask why some people lie about what cyclists are advocating for

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

@queens_parents Nope they still sound great and converting one lane per road is just fine with everyone, no one believes that you are pushing for anything but “0 bike lanes”

@pagittarius @MichaelLangeNYC Note that Bores and Lasher are the only people to have held office in this race, so typically voters would check them out first. The other candidates have no experience, weak platforms and significant negatives.

All the more that Lasher's weak showing is disqualifying

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

@pagittarius @MichaelLangeNYC Bores is doing better in polling despite what you would think about the power of such endorsements and support if all other things were equal.

But Bores is getting a huge updraft from insane PAC spending... *against him*. Because people think it's sleazy of PACs to do that

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

@pagittarius @MichaelLangeNYC Nadler is backing Lasher & so most of the party is falling in line with that. And yet he’s polling extremely flat. It’s not good if your only votes on Election Day are county committee stalwarts

@frankmorano @CitiBikeNYC People rode bicycles for 100 years without helmets being on the market. We kind of invented this in the 80s. (It’s really important for young children, though, due to physiological differences)

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

@frankmorano @CitiBikeNYC They’re not strictly required and they’re not entirely necessary equipment for that kind of bicycle. Helmets are more relevant for road bikes where you ride head-forward, not upright.

Helmets are recommended for all bike rides but helmetless Citibike seems fairly uneventful

@jonjonpoi2 @sam_d_1995 @NYCBikeLanes They didn't increase service that much! They fucked that up! And the towns along the routes are fighting development and new zoning, so they're getting *the same ridership*.

Man, stop fucking talking. You're reading concepts out of an economics book and don't know the situation

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

@jonjonpoi2 @sam_d_1995 @NYCBikeLanes Also, you talk like this is a profit share thing. So then we should be taking their money, because the spending on the tracks was like $13B and they're not even close to making that up with interest in fares. Not for a very long time.

[Wario Calzone @brianvan]

@jonjonpoi2 @sam_d_1995 @NYCBikeLanes That makes zero sense.

Increased service = more shifts.

More shifts means more workers to cover those shifts.

Doesn't mean "more workers AND pay them proportionally more with the amount of service".

Everyone still has the same 8-hour shift job. A cost of living raise is fine
