I wonder if they’d include US states in the belt and road initiative if we asked.

> Not to mention inflation is causing issues with infrastructure costs across the country.

Anyone who look at the underlying facts can see that ex-cop was held to a higher standard than a non-cop who end up committing murder.

I think we both agree that cops should be held at a higher standard.

And yet you people still can't understand why people get upset about things like congestion pricing.

"How can anyone possibly not want the MTA to take more of their money to piss away frivolously with zero accountability???"

Oh, so you're saying a cop brandishing a gun illegally who should know better is more justified in brandishing a gun illegally? Is that right? Generally we hold people who are mentally stable and not deranged to a higher standard, but I guess this is a cop so he just gets to bypass the law.

The point is that Perry can be as upset as she likes and try to make a thing out of it to benefit herself, but in the end it doesn't matter.

George Santos was Rudy Giuliani’s advisor for the past 6 years.

No, more like jokingly pointing out the false equivocation of comparing a mentally deranged man living in a dirty apartment who killed someone over duck sauce to a small business owner/operator who also was a NYPD officer having his business physically vandalized.

Ok Boomer.

Since you feel so strongly about this you should return any Social Security or Medicare payments or benefits you are offered when you actually retire. Because you don't deserve it and you didn't pay for it fully and nobody owes you anything. Is that right?

>The solution isn't to just somehow find 7.7 billion dollars for this, it's to figure out why the fuck it costs more than the 1 billion it would cost in London/Paris/Rome/Madrid/Tokyo/Singapore/Hong Kong/Beijing/Seoul/Osaka etc.

Because hiring consultants to do that would itself cost $100M.

I really wish people would finally, finally learn that the source of this guy's power is having half the country think there is a conspiracy against him. Have a big smoking gun and charge the bastard with a crime, but don't keep goddamned talking about it for like seven years. That just feeds his fire, and let's be absolutely clear: if there are some criminal charges and he beats them before the next repub nomination, he is probably our next president. I swear to god it's like the NYT wants that to happen.

> The new price tag includes interest payments on debt the MTA expects to take out to build the subway extension. The feds reported the previous price tag at $6.9 billion, but the MTA reported the number at $6.3 billion, a figure that did not include debt financing costs.

And they want to use congestion charge revenue to guarantee that debt.

I don't know how anyone can support this with a straight face. Except the car-haters of course, because they’re irrational.

Maybe they can go on Medicare when they retire which is good enough for every other American.

It's completely unaffordable for NYC to pay any money for retirees Healthcare when almost no other American gets this Benifit. Something Ike 15% of NYCs budget goes to pay for employees that no longer work for the city. When people complain there is no money for parks and a lot of other things it's going to people that don't even work for the city anymore. It's not fiscally sound over the long term.

Not to mention inflation is causing issues with infrastructure costs across the country.

Keep saying duck sauce, now I want some general tsos.

Do you think that's a rare crime? Or you just wanted to bring up the DuCk SaUcE KiLLEr for jollies? This has nothing to do with that. This is about cops looking out for cops.

There are already lots of subway lines servicing that area, and the area is way more compact. Trust me, you'll be fine down there.

chuck testa? nope, george santos!

Everyone wants to pile on this cop but what if those kids did keep breaking his cameras? There are no consequences for juvenile offenders in NYC and their age means nothing to me, there are plenty of violent 12 year old gang members who know exactly what they are doing, that it is wrong and that their age shields them.

There are plenty of moms that will defend their violent criminal children regardless of the crime they committed, they are enablers and by having no consequences society enables their behavior as well.

Then I’m left to wonder about the point of your comment.

We should just pay China do come do this and just give the savings directly to people.

In the end, there isn't a thing I can do about it.

People can criticize anything they like. A show, a law, a piece of pizza, whatever.

I think most people would be against this. You forget nyc did vote a cop as mayor.

Both were menacing with a gun.
