CaptainPsyko posted:LOL if you think this is a good metric. There is absolutely nothing 'benign' about his incompetence, he's in charge of one of the most important social services in America and sincerely believes we should be doing as little as possible to actively help the poor so that they can bootstrap themselves up. He's in position to be one of the most damaging cabinet appointees in this administration and that's loving saying something. The fact that he gets a pass because of his "aw shucks" friend Ben bullshit is the worst

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Closing Rikers has been a thing talked about for a long time, my question is, why? Where are those folks going to go? They just going to be shipped upstate or something? I mean jails actually do serve a necessary purpose even in a perfectly just system. They plan to set up smaller jails near courthouses across the boroughs

Plus, the Lithuanian/Misnagdim communities look very similar on the surface but are actually distinct. the satmar are by far the worst but the belz and even Chabad-Lubavitch sects have their own awful practices, especially wrt children

it's also bad because it's basically admitting that the city (and government as a whole) is unable to function in its most basic role of providing public transportation for its citizens, requiring the private sector to step in and save the day

get that OUT of my face posted:cuomo thinks weed is a gateway drug. it's not happening under his watch and there are no term limits here like there are in sane states Cuomo is a spineless shill who can, if nothing else, smell which way the wind blows. I guarantee that if legalization would boost his numbers he'd sign off.
