Hey if you’re familiar enough to explain the NYC system and can show me for a fact that’s within the mayor’s powers I’ll listen. Just source your claim. We can specifically talk about the power to remove the chief of police to keep the scope narrow.
I’m willing to be reasonable
Legitimately, keep having to set the heat lower and lower
Yes this is true, but in a world where people are struggling more and more to buy basic necessities like groceries and pay their bills it’s a bit tone deaf.
Yes some people overspend frivolously, but many are just broke after inflation and tariffs
Truthfully I don’t know the governmental structure of New York well enough to answer you for certain. I know every city I’ve ever lived in that would be a vote by the city council.
As others have said it’s week 2 so let’s see what he brings to the floor when the city council starts meeting and voting. If he fails to bring it up then I’m willing to support you on this.
Until then please remember that NYC is not operated as a dictatorship with a mayor that has absolute power.
This is the exact issue we have with Trump. No as mayor he does not get to be dictator of the city. There is some he legally can do on his own, but other things will require a vote from the city council.
Oh yeah we certainly have that many homes ready to be occupied tomorrow
You know I see this figure a lot, but I wonder how many of these are actually liveable.
My grandfather’s old home is unoccupied, that’s because the roof entirely collapsed. The county refuses to remove it from the property taxes. Based on all available records it’s an unoccupied home, but it’s a total loss in reality.
Or just effectively hide your key. It’s really not hard to keep a key hidden from a 11 year old.
My bet is it was somewhere dumb like in the same room above the door frame or in a drawer.
Yep, 10 years old is the age in PA where a child can be charged with a crime. Placing him in the juvenile court/prison system. Under 10 and courts could only send him to a psychiatric facility.
He is still under the cutoff for where they could charge him as an adult (14).
I once had a recruiter try to recruiter me while I was on the job as a cashier. Just checking out his stuff and he just says “do you like working here”.
I said “yeah it’s fine”. Then he began questioning me on if i thought this was a good career path or where I wanted to go in life etc. I told him I was in college. Then this man’s eyes just lit up and he thought he had me. He said “and who’s paying for that?”
He was so very disappointed when I told him the government was paying for it. I explained I recieved a decent Pell grant that covered all my school costs. He looked immediately defeated. The second he knew I want struggling for money or deep in debt he knew he didn’t have a chance and gave up.
Pretty disturbing how excited he got when he thought I was in crippling debt. I guess they’re trained to exploit desperation. I’m also still annoyed he did this to me on the job where I couldn’t tell him to leave me the hell alone
A gym leader carrying around an eel pokemon in a wicker basket. Petty cool
Weird metric, 16 years ago was 2010. Since then democrats have held the presidency for 11 of those years.
Measuring how many people were deported by each administration is a better metric. The most accurate would be to further break that down per year.
Also, while I don’t agree with how we handle undocumented immigrants deportation has been the law for well over 80 years.
Today’s issue is how the president is going about immigration enforcement. Mass deployment and mass deportation ignoring basic rights and due process. Deporting people to 3rd party nations to be placed in camps. These things are new and have made a bad situation significantly worse.
That’s even still ignoring the rapid increase in murders being committed by federal officials and all the people that have simply disappeared
Imagine defending modern day Russia.
Like it’s not even the Soviet union any more. It’s just a capitalist nation with a dictator. I just don’t understand why tankies are so obsessed with these modern countries that aren’t even remotely communist anymore. Just authoritarian
I don’t even see how this benefits Russia. Their military hasn’t even been effective in Ukraine. The remaining NATO members have more than enough military to deal with Russia
I get they’re removing the largest force, but they don’t have the military to capitalize on that. If anything they’re going to end up making the rest of Europe stronger.
I mean a tech bro being a little too into Japanese culture isn’t that out there
Yeah a tech billionaire being into Japanese culture is marginally more likely than a billionaire being a Nazi. Lots of over lap of course but I think the Japanese culture fascination is the more likely explanation
I mean it’s been 80 years. These shitheads would have admired him if he was hung or died shitting his pants at 80.
His death was effective for the people at the time
Still dead and last I checked they never rebuilt his regime.
No matter what you do there is going to be some idiot that’ll worship any fascist
My issues with the state executing people is two fold. The first being if you allow the state to have that right it can change the laws and begin executing people for less severe offenses. The second and more crucial, is there are always mistakes made and you should not put an innocent person to death. Vigilante killings or those outside the system only make that worse. Truthfully you’ve described a very cruel punishment when life in prison works fine
Well that is properly fucked and disappointing
