The Last Man on Earth.

“If I can’t have it, no one can.”

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.

ARISE

Timmy!

Heeeeeeey

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.

30 years ago, I was a young research student on the project to synthesize an injectable form of birth control. I was responsible for isolating proteins using column chromatography.

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.

YEAST LORDS!

Don’t forget to pay the tariff!

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.

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.

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.
