Reply to JPMorgan Chase requires tech workers give 6 months notice before quitting by iammrfamous07

Affects only those developers in etrading positions, which is a miniscule fraction of their overall tech workforce.

And for those, I'm guessing that's only if JPM wants to enforce the garden leave. I'm sure in most cases, they'd probably accept 30 or 60 days of notice. It was already commonplace for employment contracts to have non-competes (which were already notoriously difficult to enforce), so I don't know how much this changes things.

Reply to NYC official says city is spending an estimated $10M a day on housing, feeding migrants by NYY657545

Please, they are illegal immigrants. Stop using the wrong Terminology legal migrants are legal. These are illegals, as a New Yorker who busts his but every day working, my taxes and my fellow coworkers taxes are paying for it. And many of them are legal immigrants and they are livid!!! This is not sustainable and so absurd. And if anybody feels the need to deflect focus of my statement and criticize inclusion of the proper term “illegal”. Please don’t waste your breath.

Reply to comment by LongIsland1995 in NYC is more ethnically diverse, less racially segregated, report finds by Ice_Business

Yeah, this was me when I moved to the Bronx. I was in the same apartment for 11 years, and the only other white people I saw in my neighborhood were police, the odd school teacher commuting and the Mormon kids that got sent to evangelize around Highbridge and Mount Eden instead of at least getting a trip overseas out of their mission.

I would also say this study conflates living in the same neighborhood with actual diversity and integration in the community. Sure, my neighborhood had Dominicans, Mexicans, Africans, Haitians, African Americans, etc. all living in the same buildings, but they largely maintained their own segregation. One thing I think gets overlooked by better off white people who never actually live in these neighborhoods and only speak English is the amount of flagrant racism between minority groups. Hispanic groups vs Black people, Africans versus African Americans, then disputes within those groups as well.

A lot of the Bronx "gentrifying" just seems to me to be the real estate industry trying to manufacture it and raising prices hoping to get some idiots who'll fall for it. When I worked in Mott Haven, there were already buildings going up trying to charge $2500/month for a studio to live 6 blocks away from the train in the hood. There have been some hip businesses that opened up on Alexander and Bruckner, but you have literally a single hipster block where you see white people, then they hop in their cars and disappear.
