In person enrollment of any sort is super hard right now in low income areas. I am part an education enrichment non profit and in person stats are down at least 20% since pre pandemic.

More people globally have moved out of poverty since 1990 than any time in history, driven by modernization in India and China. We are seeing the same now in Nigeria. The fact that it isn't happening in the LatAm countries is a tragedy that the US should take leadership on. But we shouldn't ignore the tremendous strides in alleviating global poverty over the past generation

We definitely need to continue to pull people out of poverty globally. That doesn't mean we can't have a set of policies for immigration / seasonal workers that make sense in the current global economic context. One not based on lies and grey market worker exploitation.

The only fix is comprehensive immigration reform. Our current system is madness. The idea that people have to claim asylum (which they overwhelmingly won't be eligible for) so they can run out 5-7 years of work in this country, and then be forced to go back to their country makes zero sense for them or this country.

Of course you can find many good "ethnic" spots. Mainly in ethnic enclaves. And when they try to get too "fancy" or move to areas without large related ethnic population, they overwhelmingly fail. Maharlika and Jeepney were places just like that - and that's what the story was talking about

I find the selection of non Western European restaurants in London to be much better. People are actually willing to pay for a fine dining experience of cuisines like Indian, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian in a way that New Yorkers in general seem to have a problem with.

You could rinse and repeat this for many many cuisines.

How many Spanish food waves that putter and die have we seen? At least 3 in the past 25 years.

Find a great Greek restaurant in most neighborhoods.

Portuguese? One or two break thru spots for a while and then kaput.

The reality is that the nyc food scene is much less adventurous and interesting than one would imagine. Probably 1/3 of restaurants are some form of Italian. Some version of a center plate meat and side is still the standard. And national cuisines without very large local communities tend to die off very quickly.

Such as it is and has always been.

I don't understand this comment. He is an independent journalist who works for himself.

Lol. Yes you did.

The cognitive dissonance is real in this nutter.

I don’t have access to your form 1099 so I couldn’t say. I don’t hate any animal, btw. But I also don’t support people having animals in an irresponsible way. You wouldn’t have a chimpanzee as a house pet. Or a Lion as a guard animal. Nor should you keep a breed with an overwhelmingly disproportionate share of deadly and serious safety incidents if you are a layperson. You should require licensing similar to any other activity that impacts public safety. The major impediment to that is the pit bull advocacy groups who misrepresent the statistics and try to gaslight anyone who disagrees with them. I personally don’t care if your “pitty” is sweet and nicer than any human. Any more than I care that someone who owns an AK-47 is a kind and caring person.

Out in full force. Even on a removed post. Nice.

Hope the pay is good

Edit - OMG. 10 of the 49 comments here are you. You really should be more subtle.

Find a comment of mine of the topic previously.

Uh, yeah no.

Good try, troll.

Good to see the pitbull lobby show up. It's like they word search for pitbull 100x a day and conveniently show up in every sub with their stories of their sweet "pitty" who is kinder than little baby Jesus in a bassinet. Lmao

People dragged Won through the mud for opposing this plan. Now look at the additional concessions the developers have given. You should always assume the original plan is the starting point for negotiations. And not fall all over yourself to accept it immediately as the build build build crowd would have you do.

Believe me, bro. I was toooootally hit by a car and we have to do something about it!

Stuff like this would be more credible with a more credible messenger.

Insults to strangers on the internet. This is a teachable moment for you. I hope you take it.

As a postscript, teachers need to be measured and patient. And certainly not quick to temper. Do better.

Descriptive of limited imagination. Use a thesaurus.

Hipster teachers in BK mad. Lmao. Yes I was specifically referring to you.

Yes. It was clear

Name calling. Hmm.

It has no real purpose. All teaching is starting with simpler topics and building to more complex ones. It's one of those buzzwords like you see in corporatespeak that just grates on me. Not a serious issue obviously. More peevish.

>”This is what educators call ‘scaffolding,’” he tweeted. “You introduce a topic, have the students practice it on something easy, before you have them work with something complex.

You pretty much know a terrible teacher as soon as they use the word scaffolding in a parent teacher conference. Good grief. Speak English.

Depends how much they paid for the building.

I mean it has to be rent controlled. I can tell you that this building was truly awful until the past few years. There was a Chinese produce wholesaler who operated out of the bottom floor. Every morning at like 2-4 am there were dudes working on the sidewalk organizing produce and yelling at each other. When they left each day, produce had fallen all over, attracting only the most discriminating rats. The maintenance on the building appeared to be zero. I would walk by it most days and wonder why. That there must be rent controlled units in part of the building explains that to me now. Landlords are notorious for letting rent controlled and rent stabilized buildings rot.

Can play what? The shovel your sidewalk game? I didn't realize you needed a multi billion dollar balance sheet to pay a guy to come 5x a year. Next thing you'll tell me is why small businesses should be able to pay employees less

And ps - a store still makes 1m a year whether it's owned by someone else or not.
