Can’t recommend Corto enough!!!

Seating outside is super comfortable even with the colder weather. The entirety of the back patio is enclosed on the sides with heavy duty tarp - there’s just a slight gap at the bottom, so wear heavy socks.

My partner and I went on 12/23 (one of the single digit temp days), and it was definitely cold but still manageable and more than worth it for the food and service. They’ve got multiple heaters which warm the space up - we just went on the coldest/windiest night possible.

I'm not against socialized housing, I think it's great. The issue being that being for it, thinking it is a good policy and actually being able to implement it in a US city are very different things. Mayor's aren't emperors, they can't just decide to raise taxes and build housing they have to work with the systems we have in place and... Well, color me extremely skeptical that a mayor can force through socialized housing.

There's lots of stuff they do better in other countries I'd love to have here, but I'm not going to get all pissed off at local politicians when they can't fix systematic problems all by their lonesome.

So, yes, sure work towards it and advocate for the changes that make it possible, but that's a long term goal, not a mayor gets that done in a term or two goal.

What’s wrong with higher taxes if they are properly allocated?

We don’t need a bigger police budget. We need better housing. Social program that help people off the streets and into jobs. A better board of Ed that spends money wisely and effectively.

But since everyone doubts that it could be done, nothing in fact gets done.

It’s an uphill battery with apathy, greed and ignorance.

If countries like Norway and provide high standards of living? Why can’t the US? If not the national level? Why not at the state level? If not at the state level why can’t we strive for it at the municipal level?

So many parts of jersey city are food deserts (example Marion neighborhood) With low access to quality public transport. That means that folks have less accessibility to jobs/schools.

You say, “well, move.” Say that to someone living on a fixed income, or to someone who is disabled. Say that to a single mom trying to make ends meet.

I’m not saying I have all the answers but nothing is done because everyone is convinced that nothing can be done.

SoWho ever can show me that they are invested in building public housing or other social programs that those who are less fortunate than us can take advantage of. Then yeah they get my vote.

When did I ever say anything about a vaccine attacking a virus? Or a timeline for vaccine injury? You're just throwing out unrelated facts as if they are a rebuttal to me since you don't want to admit - vaccine side effects are a real, but rare, thing AND the government agencies tasked with regulating the pharma industry have made huge mistakes before.

You chalk up the decisions of other governments to economics but assume the US government makes decisions based purely on science and in the interests of health - the drugs and the USDA food pyramid I listed are exactly the reasons to be suspicious of this.

Anyone who pays attention knows that the claims regarding efficacy and existence of side effects have shifted over time. But we are supposed to believe the current claims 100% and not ask any questions.

For example - May 2021 from CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices - “Careful investigation indicates [myocarditis] did not occur more frequently among young people who were vaccinated than among young people who were not vaccinated,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an ACIP member. “So there is no causal link to the vaccination.” https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/health/vaccine-myocarditis-kids/index.html

Today - https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/myocarditis.html

A review of vaccine safety data in VAERS from December 2020–August 2021 found a small but increased risk of myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Over 350 million mRNA vaccines were given during the study period and CDC scientists found that rates of myocarditis were highest following the second dose of an mRNA vaccine among males in the following age groups https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html

The "legitimate scientists" and the "legitimate government officuals" and the "legitimate media" all told us the vaccine prevented infection and transmission, and then insisted that every person owed their fellow citizens a duty to get vaccinated to stop the spread.

18 months later, these same "legitimate" sources acknowledged that the vaccine manufacturers never included the prevention of infection/transmission in any of their studies so there was zero data to support any of those claims.

But, yes, do keep telling us about how ignorant, foolish and/or conspiratorial anyone who questions what they are told by any source, including your multiple, unsupported opinions above, must be.

You attack the poster's comment that it "seems like there are a lot of young, seemingly healthy, men who have collapsed and died in the past year" as being "factually false" by:

  1. Proclaiming (without citation) a statistic that works out to nearly 2000 such young people dying per year (which could certainly seem high to some people);

  2. Admitting that your unsupported statistic is from pre-COVID times, and thus leaving unanswered the question of whether a greater or lesser number of such young people have been similarly dying over the past year, as was the point of the poster's comment.

Then, as a cherry on top, you put forth another statistic about deaths caused by football collisions each year, although the study to which you cite includes all types of deaths and not only heart attacks, meaning that the number 12 that you parrot is misleadingly high when compared to the point of the poster's comment.

How lucky for us commoners that you are here to educate us on "the facts".
