Also remember there are tons of public benefits in NYC that don't exist in their home country.

You didn't read closely enough it seems. I said the section faced an overall 50% reduction, as of 2016. The fact that you weren't aware of the change in strategy makes me wonder if you're a NYP reader yourself. How could you not have noticed the reduction of the local section?

Thanks, this is the gist of what I was going to say. We actively destabilize countries then act surprised when people immigrate here from the areas we’ve fucked. It’s a vicious, never ending cycle.

Students who attend NYC public schools sometimes receive candy boxes to sell to raise funds for their trips. Back in my day, we could get a box for $25 and sell the 50-count inside for $50, at the MSRP.
Those candies the migrants are selling are school candies.

...do they? Can I ask for a source?
liltay-k47 t1_j6c04hm wrote
It depends, I remember friends of mine did that in middle school and they convinced the deli man to pay them what he paid for the boxes after he sold them, then kind of just kept that going. I’m sure some people steal them, but there’s a bunch of ways to do it. The article says that one woman was given the box by a shelter worker, another was given the box at the store after saying she had no money, and another bought them for half of wholesale price on the block. They just recently got her too, so I’m sure you can imagine if you have long-standing ties to a shopkeeper or something it can be easier

I mean, not really, to the second part. It is true the US was technically involved with Venezuela’s demise, but not as directly as you’re making it sound. Chavez hinged the entire economy and welfare state off of unusually expensive gas prices, and openly installed cronies at PdVSA. When US shale production shot up, OPEC slashed prices to kill it and in exchange the Venezuelan economy started to collapse (endemic corruption and mismanagement also seriously exacerbated the conditions). US sanctions have certainly made the situation worse, but it doesn’t take a Columbia economics professor to tell you it isn’t a good idea to budget entirely off the royalties from a commodity subject to extreme fluctuation.

I really HATE NY Post and I wish there was a consensus to not read their hyper conservative drivel. They’re basically Fox News but worse in some ways because it’s like they create this shit out of thin air.
1st off NYers have been selling snacks on the subways since like forever. It goes through phases where it’s super common and then uncommon. At one point it was so many of them selling that when one left your cart, another one walked in almost IMMEDIATELY after. They even had a rule amongst each other to not sell in the same cart at the same time to avoid fights (I witnessed a few). And I much preferred them than the endless line if begging that usually occurred at the worst times like rush hour. Nothing worse than a packed train and a homeless person begging in a packed train.
2nd I’m highly uncomfortable in the usage of these individuals faces plastered across this article. It seems wrong somehow and I doubt they were told their pictures would end up being used this way. Another low from NYPost.
