“One crime at a time.”

The sheriff is near!

This is a question for anyone:

I can’t find a good definition of a fiscal recession. I understand that it involves “multiple months of downward trends” on things like GDP.

Exactly how long does the downturn have to last before they declare that it is officially a period of recession? Is it really just 2 months or more?

Kicked out? I’m pretty sure they beat the ever-loving shit out of him first.

He will be eventually. That’s the process to primary him.

It’s as complicated as filing two short forms with the FEC and raising a minimum of $5,000 specifically for a senate campaign.

So to answer your question, she would file 2 forms with the FEC + have someone give her $5k.

She can run for Schumer’s seat. She lives in NY, she’s been a citizen for over 9 years, and she’s over 30 years old. Those are the qualifications.

I consider him more of an apple head.

Brad Lander is the only logical choice at the moment.

I would prefer Jumaane Williams.

Unfortunately Williams is running for reelection as Public Advocate but he would be my choice. If Adams ever resigned or got removed somehow, Williams would 100% be on the ballot and would probably win that primary easily.

Helpful acronym explainer:

SSA = Social Security Administration

USSS = US Secret Service

SS = I guess ICE nowadays? Or the DOJ as a whole?

As I understand it:

Currently Social Security employs about 60,000 workers.

They’re looking to cut a minimum of 7,000 employees and a maximum of 30,000 employees.

If they cut 30,000 from the existing 60,000 it would represent a 50% reduction in workforce.

The way they worded it is absolutely stupid.

Capital punishment will always be more of a tool to control behavior than a tool to regulate public justice.

A death penalty serves the ultimate purpose of demonstrating that the state can use its power (executive, legislative, and judicial) to order a citizen killed.

The power of the state to kill someone can be wielded arbitrarily based upon laws enacted (legislative), sentences ordered (judicial), and pardons withheld (executive).

Expect more laws and more capital sentences to curb more behaviors that the state wishes to curtail. When they run out of behaviors, expect capital punishment for crimes of belief, thought, and group affiliation for that is the natural progression of authoritarianism, despotism, and tyranny.

Baby-birded from Magic Johnson.

Ozempic is on the list.

As much as Eric Adams is a POS, the MTA is a state “agency” so most of the corruption occurs at the state level.

But hard agree with you. The funds will never actually help the people who need the help.

MTA buses are exempt but they are raising fares anyway.

There are a LOT of private commuter buses though (Academy Bus Lines come to mind) - also NJ Transit or the private lines from north and east of the city. I don’t know if they are exempt.

Just a slight correction to your post - it isn’t NYC leadership per se. The final call is made by the NY State governor as the MTA is regulated on the state level.

I don’t do it a lot but there are times when I just cannot take public transit - like when I need to bring packages to my relatives. Or like this week when I need to bring my cat to the animal hospital in Manhattan. It’s very difficult to bring my cat to her appointment by public transit or Uber/Lyft/Taxi.

My rare driving into the zone is negligible but every car on the road contributes to the traffic.

Agreed. The next phases should keep expanding the zone until there is an equilibrium across all the travel routes.

Definitely agree. It’s just something that will always push traffic to the adjacent area. Eventually it could be all NYC then Westchester county will become the traffic inheritor.

You bring up a valid point though. Many trucks will just chalk it up to an additional expense and keep driving through Manhattan.
