>If you only refuel at that Mobil in Hell's Kitchen by the car dealerships

Isn't that place around $6 a gallon?

Awful judge will be kicked off the bench. Decision written by judge who works very slowly and does the bare minimum.

They went down Avenue J without finding a single kosher place (e.g. Jewish bakeries).

Could someone translate what they are saying in the video?

> These are the people that are truly. . . oppressed

The Uyghurs are oppressed. Get real.

> Not at nyu but I went to dropoff and wait for my friend to get surgery. Even though it was just sitting around for the whole day, I made sure to dress semi nicely, wear jewelry and makeup and look like someone that can afford a good lawyer even though I was just sitting in the waiting room.

A very wise move. On thosee occasions when I would have to take my late mother to the hospital and I was not dressed in business clothes, I would always leave the head nurse one of my lawyer business cards.

> We would be on rounds and it would be mentioned that X room was off limits due to VIP status

It should have been explained to you that any patient can refuse to participate in rounds.

That's true and the food is better than the stuff on the second floor of Milstein but it's hardly Daniel.

Thanks. I wonder how some people would try and raise money on behalf of hospitals if they started telling major donors, "Don't expect any special treatment. You're just like everyone else."

Here's a comment I just found on the nytimes website:

>S.B.

>S.F. Dec. 22

>There should be no Ronald O. Perelman Center for Emergency Services.

>There should be no NYU Langone Medical Center.

>There should be no Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.

>Every last individual with their name on the facade of a hospital because they coughed up millions of dollars should have been TAXED at least that much to pay for those hospitals. Then they can be named after people who devoted their lives to caring for the sick.

This will surely encourage more large donations.

What an idiot!

Still listed in many places on the hospital website, e.g. https://www.nyp.org/sites/default/files/acquiadam/2020-08/mckeen-amenities-brochure.pdf

I wouldn't take a dog to the Maimonides ER and that's because I like dogs.

I know for sure that at Columbia Presbyterian, the "VIP" floor, called the McKeen Pavillion, comes with substantial extra charges which anyone who has the money can pay. Whether or not people like Bill Clinton actually paid those charges, I don't know.

>A lifeline came from Mr. Langone, the founder of Home Depot and chairman of the hospital’s board of trustees. He and his wife donated $100 million in 2008, matching a contribution they had made eight years earlier. The medical center was renamed NYU Langone.

>Mr. Langone became known not just for his own philanthropy — he donated another $100 million in 2019 — but also his ability to persuade other wealthy New Yorkers to donate. Over the ensuing years, he helped the hospital raise $3 billion.

Man gives $300 million of his own money and helped raise $3 billion but hey, no preferential treatment.

This article sounds very much like a member of the Sulzberger family which owns the Times did not get the right flavor of Jello in the hospital so this hatchet job was ordered.

Pocket deleted?

>Hildalyn Colón Hernández, the director of policy for Los Deliveristas Unidos, said food delivery workers should be compensated for their time just like other essential workers. “Firefighters don’t just get paid when they have a fire,” she said. “They get paid for the time they are waiting in the firehouse for that call. We’re asking for the same thing.”

!?

I just love the "host" who demanded that customers mow the lawn before checking out.

Chirlane, where are you?

>Users can ignore or even block these inquiries from their feed. But the police can still obtain private footage through a court order or directly through Ring. Such requests to the company are for life-threatening emergencies and are regularly denied, a Ring spokeswoman, Mai Nguyen, said. [emphasis added]

What?! There's a life-threatening emergency and you deny the video?

How dare they charge money.

Not necessarily. Some do a good job, e.g. the Law Journal, Times, WSJ.

What they mean when they say, "I don't care what the Court of Appeals said?"

>Anyway, if they don't rule correctly, doesn't that just give the losing party ammo to put in their appeal?

Do you think judges should deliberately ignore the law and force litigants into the cost and time of an appeal?

Thanks, but no thanks. Some judges are very petty and have been known to take revenge against lawyers for much slighter things.

Today, I saw one name on the ballot for Justice of the Supreme Court of a judge who personally told me he or she does not care what the higher courts have ruled.

I refuse to be registered in any party and I refuse to vote for judges that I as an attorney know are incompetent.
