Don’t we already have a whole department called, I don’t know, parks and recreation that’s supposed to do stuff like this?

Ok and if the average person is too lazy to throw away their garbage at one of the receptacles on every corner, or too lazy to hold it until they get off the train, why would they give a shit if there’s a receptacle for electronic recycling outside of their home

The people who recycle anyway WILL take a short walk or bus ride to dispose of electronics properly. The ones who litter indiscriminately probably don’t even know you’re supposed to dispose of electronics a certain way, and definitely won’t start if a receptacle is outside their home.

Believe it or not, sometimes the issue doesn’t get solved by spending millions of taxpayer dollars for no reason

Maybe if public officials weren’t rife with fraud, they wouldn’t need such high security

Politicians should fear their constituents

So if they’re too lazy to walk 10 feet to throw out trash, how would the government spending millions to put a designated electronics recycling bin in front of every property help?

Right, and I’m sure you also agree that if someone is unhappy making minimum wage, they should just get another job

Why doesn’t the government come and wipe my ass for me every time I take a shit? Why should the burden of being presentable in public be on the individual?

No, the answer is that this is such an insignificant problem that it really doesn’t warrant the time and energy spent on trying to improve something that really doesn’t need to be improved

Electronic recycling and student loan forgiveness are completely different orders of magnitude

It blows my mind that there are “New Yorkers” who are beside themselves for having to walk

To me, and probably the majority of New Yorkers who’ve had to walk many miles to do many different chores/leisure activities, a 30 min walk or 15 min bus ride is extremely reasonable for recycling electronics

The two of you strike me as people who actually enjoyed the lockdown so you didn’t have to leave your apartments. That’s really depressing

People come to NY for Central Park, museums, shows, clubs etc , not for skyscrapers in midtown

Sure, we will have to get creative and find alternatives for tax revenue/cutting spending but New York as a brand and icon won’t disappear just because the Dunkin’ Donuts on 47th closed

They should get a second job if they’re low on income

A 30 minute walk or 15 minute bus ride!? The horror!! 😱😱😱😱😱

What does this comment even mean

Reddit is filled with a bunch of single 20 year olds with no kids. I’m one of them

However, I come from a family of immigrants so I understand what it’s like being around children, unlike the WASPs on this sub who just moved here from Ohio and don’t have a strong familial unit

So yeah I’d just talk to your neighbors and try to limit the time in the hallways. Half the comments here are super passive aggressive, I don’t think that you let your kids run roughshod in the halls like many here are accusing you. Because as you said, kids do get loud at in opportune moments and it’s hard to control that at times.

Sounds like you need some friends!

Even though I live alone, I see my friends and family all the time.

You should take advantage of having your own space to do what you want with, and try to reach out and host a movie night or something

Pfft living alone is a blessing I cherish every single day. The only downside is the nights I come home really drunk and have to puke in my toilet all alone, then nurse my hangover the next day all alone

Same thing for when I get sick too. Other than that, being single and living alone is a blessing I’m thankful for every single day

You should join your local libertarian chapter to work towards reducing State control over our daily lives

He wasn’t intentionally killed. The state did not sanction an execution

I’m actually hispanic but I don’t break the law so I don’t get harassed by police

Yeah cuz that’s against the law doofus

Just cuz you get punished for BREAKING THE LAW that doesn’t make it a police state lmfao

You people need to travel

Really? Cuz I can walk down the block to my local precinct and scream “fuck the police” until my face turns blue and nothing will happen to me cuz I’m not breaking a law

Cuz we live in the USA where we have the freedom to do that

Yeah, it’s not an apt comparison

I actually don’t want kids, I’m just not a selfish prick who thinks I’m entitled to living in a city of 9 million and not having to deal with babies

Lol yeah breaking news everyone, adopted babies don’t scream

I never once complained about dogs, I think it’s possible to support both without putting another one down. And I’m actually from New York, so no I don’t think I’ll leave. I inherited a sweet rent stabilized apartment from a family member, my rent is 1100 for a studio in Manhattan. So yeah I’m gonna stick around for a long time

The point is babies scream, and we were all babies at one point

Reproduction is natural and a key aspect of keeping society alive. If you’re so against something that’s the fabric of society and humanity maybe you should go to Antarctica

Hmm, silent babies are usually an indicator of mental illness

Makes a lot of sense
