In the nfl at least no owner is even in the stratosphere of murdering migrant that have been enslaved on no wages

The idea that shady American/British business practices is even touching the scale of the oil tycoons who use actual migrants on no wages and kill people is so fucking disingenuous and gross

The “you can’t enforce it so why bother” arguement is very shit. This is a clear step in the right direction

It’s also insane and very disingenuous to compare American businessmen like bezos to the oil barons and middle eastern regimes who are not “paying slave wages” but genuinely not paying any wages and activly killing minorities

Or most optimistic Messi one

Had fried foi gras at a 2 michelin restaurant with low expectations (cavier generally lets me down its just good flavor,) and it is incredible. Idk its kind of insane

eating it removed any care about the animals

I dont think foi gras is even remotly more inhumane than murdering animals. I eat meat and do see animal cruelty as an issue with meat consumption but outright banning torture of animals but being ok with murdering them is moral gymnastics

representative democracy have checks and balances to stop "tyranny"," ie. local unelected officials or just officials from other districts going against constitutions and non-representative chouices that voters did not vote on. No one voted for city council expecting them to start banning nYS agriculture. This is how representative democracy works. since voters dont vote on every policy present there needs to be a checking system for the sake of avoiding minority law changes being passed

all meat is evil if you view animals as equals. and even disregarding meat consumption basically everyone is activly choosing to purchase things incredibly harmful to animals. drawing lines like this is really silly

What Disney plus is doing too in the next 5-10 years we will see all these streaming services cost more than netflix

Yes. And objectively there is less late night violence towards women per capita here.

I’m not saying it doesn’t exist but the car argument is bad. People follow women in cares back to their homes, and I speculate that often they drive to a more quiet area it’s dangerous as well.

Regardless Theresa big issue where people conflate only late night creeper followin crime as the risk. That percentage of violence giant women is very very very small compared to all the other unfortunate avenues of danger. Nyc does way better in stoping violence against women by every metric.

Using theoretical anecdotes about how nyc is less safe cause women cat drive home, is silly when there’s all the statistics out there showing a woman is safer going home from an nyc bar to an nyc apartment than any other city’s bar scene.

I’m not devaluing that we can always do way more to fix violence late at night, but we need to stop coming from a place of flat out false comparisons to other American and western cities.

This is absolutely valid, but the reality is that despite public perception this is objectively the safest city in America for women

Nyc is unique in that there will always be plenty of transplants that come here with money and just no real worry financially and bullshit part time to make it off their parents money

I’m a transplant that came here with no money and slowly grew my career in food, my Roomate this year is a rich Canadian girl. She works part time as a paralegal fucking one of her bosses, her parents pay all her rent and ubers/food. She’s moving next year cause job wise it’s hard

But those people always exist and native New Yorkers will always exist to work many shit jobs

The issue with rent is people like me who move here to “make it” can’t afford to initially and move to other cities
