Given Trump incited a mob at the capital, Bragg is doing his part to keep this violent criminal behind bars.

long island has a viewpoint on nyc.

Oh possibly. Though 1951/1952 was the first time it went to actual we have a plan and money; we’ll have it done by 1957 (snort). So it is plausible.

But these types of shenanigans have happened over decades. Other countries are able to build high functioning rail at fractions of the cost and time. If you’ve been to China or Japan, you’ll know how a country can build things quickly and efficiently.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I really hate this country

Again, it's a reach, you could say that about anybody born in that time period. And according to Wikipedia and my knowledge of this line its been in conception since 1920.

So its just a feeble attempt at taking a stab at someone for just being old.

Genuine: someone explain how congestion pricing helps the MTA money problem? Quick glance, it looks like it would solve no problems for the MTA and only (maybe) reduce traffic while also costing avg people more out of pocket. Other than the net positive of reducing emissions, which could be achieved in a 1000 other ways, congestion pricing seems to only reward the corruption within the MTA/state. Lmk if I’m crazy.

Im sorry to say, they offered it as a carrot to take the job, to go back on their word is beyond messed up its criminal. Offer the new contracts w the bs u propose at the very least.

>The switch will provide some new benefits, such as routine hearing and vision exams, hearing aids, and mental health care provided via telemedicine.

These are not new benefits. They were already provided by medicare. The difference is that this aDvAntAgE pLaN requires pre-approval for certain benefits, which only serves to deny healthcare to people who would have had access under the medicare plan.

$7.7bn for 116,345 population -- that's $66k per resident.

They should just give the money directly to Harlem residents and kill the project. That would be better for everyone.

Unfortunately we have this thing called property rights

When you show me the place with escalators that serves thousands of commuters a week 24/7 with no breakdowns i’ll start believing.

They’re going to make the stations huge like GCM. They don’t need to be huge.

Organized Labor moving forwards with this was probably an under-the-table part of the negotiations with DC37 on the labor contract. Those 3% raises had to come from somewhere - remember that the city went into negotiations with a starting line of 1.5%, and, that when the medicare advantage deal was first negotiated under DiBlasio it was expected to save the city $600M annually.

It is (more or less) true though, the first Bond issue was in 1951, with a start of 1952. Biden was born in 1942. I mean you can find a promise from the 20s onward, but since he was 10 is at least not crazy wrong.

Truthfully it is a good reminder that the good old days weren't perfect. NYC took a funded project frittered away most of it on other random projects and tore down the elevated line (under real estate lobby pressure) before even seriously attempting to replace it, and didn't manage to build anything for 60 years, and that only a shadow of the plan.

love it

This project needs to happen. But it shouldn’t until the grift from MTA consultants and contractors and the ineptitude and complacency by the MTA with said grift ends.

Once they reach age 65(?) they do go on Medicare, this is about the medical insurance they get when they retire but before the become Medicare eligible. Once they become Medicare eligible this insurance will become secondary while Medicare will be their primary insurance.

Do you know what happens when you remove hundreds of parking spots? And di you consider that some of these working people in public housing need a car to get to work- especially if they work in a remote location or off hours?

Just like the Mueller special counsel

Literally any non American city with a subway system. Travel a bit, the shit we get here is not how it has to be.
