The crimes in question here were in Brazil and part of a plea deal. The only shit he admits is the shit he did down there, like the drag pics and now this.

Only the ones that are taking a hit to their own pockets, like the other NY GOP House members elected last year. Donors lost trust in these clowns collectively.

TIL that hibachi doesn't mean a chef cooking in front of you while doing tricks and squirting insane amounts of diluted sake into your mouth.

Reply to comment by Die-Nacht in NYC Subway Fare over last 120 years adjusted for inflation by dust1990
True on a macro level.
NYC had a specific set of circumstances. The nickel fare was kept way too long, and the city's money went to Moses' highways instead of system maintenance. The city went broke in the 70s and was forced to cede control of the subways to the state. Today we're playing catch-up for maintenance that should have been done 50-100 years ago, and the subway is still under state control.

> At least allow them to keep it, and new retirees will have to deal with Medicare advantage. Unfair to change the rules after the fact.
But this attitude is what led to Tier 6 in the first place. The system is broken but continuing to fuck over the younger crowd is worse than spreading the misery.

Reply to comment by spicytoastaficionado in MTA urges social media companies to remove subway surfer videos after teen’s death by Grass8989
With the train surfing and the hot stove, getting hurt is a direct effect of those stunts and is effective with kids.
The scared straight routines bring in some navy seal cosplayer after the fact to try to intimidate the kids into behaving...that doesn't work.

1970 fares were absurdly low and are the main reason the subway fell into disrepair...this was long before the corruption and wastefulness that occurs today.

With all the train noise you'll hardly hear Showtime three or four cars away. What's more likely is that they'll be offended when ppl start walking away from their performances. Or Showtime dies altogether idk.

They're called by their colors by people who live in Manhattan and never leave Manhattan. The color system was designed to group the lines that are together in Manhattan.

Reply to comment by us1087 in Westchester was one vote away from becoming part of NYC and Brooklyn barely made it by Furschitzengiggels
Had Brooklyn voted no the whole consolidation plan would have fallen apart. Joining Manhattan and Brooklyn was the whole point, because they wanted to guarantee remaining the largest city in America, and why the Brooklyn Bridge was built. They probably try again or find some way to join anyway, but yeah.

That too, but this particular storm went up through the middle of NY itself so they were on the cold side and we were on the warmer side. If the storm was further east it would have been us with a classic nor'easter.

Lol, it's not an "excuse", it has been a documented pattern for decades (along with it's counterpart El Niño). That same storm that buried Buffalo gave us rain. It's a similar pattern right now. We may be in the same state but we're in very different climate zones.
Everyone here agrees with climate change, even the ones you're trying and failing to make fun of. Pick up a book next time.

From what I heard from an acquaintance who went to one of the first games, they had containment zones where they let the foreigners go wild while making sure no Muslim was partaking.

Reply to comment by wrongwaycorrigan in In Washington heights they tour up the roads to do work and revealed the old cobblestone beneath (184 & Pinehurst) by soylentgreenis
The fact that some streets go a very long time between milling and resurfacing is the sad part. Idk if it's a lack of coordination between miller and resurfacer or what...
Edit: Looking at that schedule (small sample size, I know), it contracts out some of the milling but does all of the paving in-house, so there's more milling than paving. That looks like an issue.
