Reply to comment by domo415 in Cost of 2nd Avenue Subway extension to East Harlem balloons to $7.7B by Grass8989
Odd comment considering the Feds are paying half of this project ($3.5B!). also MTA debt already receives a special tax status so it’s not like the Feds are doing nothing

Yes and they stop offering it to new employees and raise there current salaries and stop creating a ticking time bomb if underfunded future Benifits.

Huh? There would be more money fir parks. Maybe the city would be able to pay more pay now to workers. At least the city is not deferring payment for work today to some time in the future. I would assume most people discount this benifet when applying for a job. If the job paid 10k more a year now vs cover the cost of retirees Healthcare which is already paid for by the feds NYC could attract more workers.

I don’t care, do it. I miss having the feeling of progress during the 7 and Q extensions. We NEED to be expanding, I don’t care that it’s overpriced or it’s only three stations.
It’s an investment that will last hundred plus years, and it’s not gonna get cheaper

You’re debating how replacing the nypd would work instead of whether it’s necessary because you can’t find a good argument for why the nypd deserves their station in a city they refuse to protect or be accountable to. The work slowdown has spread to your brain.

I love social security and Medicare. Why would I want to stop those Benifits. I don't think NYC needs to supplement those Benifits for people who retired from working for the city long ago. I would rather NYC use that money to fix the subway system or make the parks nicer.

I ask you how does a city go about hiring 32k new police while also firing 32k police, you respond with a whataboutism.
Who is training these new police officers?
What are the requirements?
What is the pay?
Who is the new chief?
Who is the new commissioner?

I feel like that might have been sincere, so thank you?
Assuming you are a cop, and assuming you don’t personally go around abusing your power, I have a tip for you. People don’t trust you. Because even if you’re not going out using excessive force or helping cronies stay out of trouble, you know other cops who do. And you are either unable to stop them, in which case you’re really not much value in your job, or you’re unwilling, in which case you’re morally unfit for your job. And now you’re arguing online making procedural excuses for why we can’t have accountability. You’re cool with the way things are in your organization, which makes you complicit in the culture of corruption. A few bad apples have already spoiled the whole bunch.
You’d be welcome in magic land if you ever wanted to envision a world where cops are accountable to the people who pay their salaries and whom they’re supposed to protect.

Sounds like you probably work in a corrupt system and prefer it that way.

So far he's playing with fire to an extent only Donald Trump has surpassed. I can only conclude his prison ministry will be well attended. But, the guards... and he's lived as a trans ... this will sell well in Hollywood. Say hello to Tammy fay and Jim Baker...

They should not be fixing cases. We are in agreement, as to where and how you simultaneously fire and then hire 32k people, I think you are in magic land.

Hire them just like before, but starting over without a culture that’s already been corrupted, and creating accountability to the public.
Do you have a relationship with law enforcement? And do you feel that top brass should be fixing legitimate arrests for their cronies as they did in this case?

Not that I listened to it much, but she wasn’t a great host compared to the dude who came before. It also never was terribly interesting anyway.

The best case scenario I've heard in terms of being hired by the city is two months of bullshit, minimum. After that, you have to deal with low pay, terrible working conditions, constant bureaucratic bullshit over your pay and reimbursements, and then this shit.
Remind me again why literally anyone with options should work for New York City?

And where do you get the 32k people to replace them as a functioning police force?

Has anyone seen the Union on Twitter? And that bitch fuck O’Shea? Literally threatening any NY politician who badmouths them with removing police presence from their events. Acting like the cops WE pay for with our taxes are their own personal gang. Fucking joke!
