If I were you, I’d put your efforts there. You’ll be much better off in the long run then spending your off hours driving an Uber.
Good luck.

Why are you looking for side gigs instead of a better full time job? You are a college graduate and you aren’t making double the legal minimum wage.

Reply to New York’s MTA Hates Transparency by psychothumbs
Of course they do. They are the single least efficient transit agency in the entire world. Transparency is embarrassing.

It’s a good start, but they should add more rules around disclosing incentive, bonus, and stock compensation and force companies to tighten the ranges.

I knew someone that worked off Broadway. He said whenever a light blew they changed all the lights. Union rules were such that you had to pay for a large minimum block of time, so they might as well do it all at once. They donated the used bulbs at least.

In a world of infinite resources, sure I’d love beautiful, inspiring spaces. But given a choice between a dozen new stations—each cramped and ugly—or three oversized pretty ones, I’ll take the dozen every time.

The 2nd Ave subway stops are way way bigger than they need to be. Not just longer but a whole pointless mezzanine level.
It’s like someone wanted to go into cathedral architecture but got stuck with designing subway stations.

Reply to MTA Police: Teen attacked 2 LIRR conductors with ticket-issuing machine by King-of-New-York
“The MTA police chief issued a statement, saying in part, "Having made a rapid arrest, it is now up to prosecutors to ensure the law is enforced, so this violent perpetrator faces consequences, and the victims receive the justice they deserve."”
This is me, not holding my breath.

Bloomberg tried to do this years ago. I wonder if Adrienne Adams had a position on it back then. BdB opposed it before all of a sudden deciding it was his idea when he became mayor.

Reply to comment by psychothumbs in MTA Could Nix Fare Hikes with Just $350M More Per Year, Lieber Says by psychothumbs
They can neither raise fares nor get more money by becoming the second least efficient transit organization on the planet instead of the first. Tough bar I know, but I really think they can do it if they try.

So how come the bosses (aka voters) have to pay for parking and the workers park wherever they want? How does that fit into your neat, little theory of the world?

So you’re saying you’ll happily suck off the public teat but the second it’s convenient for you, all of a sudden you’re Henry David Thoreau.
I got it, your values are whatever is best for you in the moment. Lots of people like that.

One is legal and the other is illegal. That’s the difference.
If you are some kind of law doesn’t matter anarchist, what are you doing in a government job in the first place?

You are always free to quit. That’s what an illegal strike is—a bunch of civil servants quitting.

The air traffic controllers went on strike even though it was illegal to go out on strike. Ronald Reagan fired all of them for cause and brought in the national guard to control air traffic while new ones were being trained.
Elect politicians that will take open defiance of the law by public servants seriously and the problem will get solved. Don’t and it won’t.

I did move to such a building, but as I’m sure you and catlady are well aware, the severely mentally ill don’t have to follow the same rules as the rest of us.

The fact that pet people are so delusional as to not understand the difference between an animal and a person is exactly what I’m talking about.
Get the help you obviously need.

How about instead of all these tax giveaways in exchange for “affordable units” set aside in the buildings, we don’t give out tax breaks and instead use the money to rehabilitate and reissue the public housing units that already exist?
