Horseshoe theory is a fact.

I know, how dare people not want their children to walk past open drug use on their way to school. So evil of them.

You think people would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

The government isn’t serving the peoples will, clearly.

There are homeless on the street, is that your will? People can’t afford food and clothing and healthcare, is that your will? The average person is spending like half the money they take home on just rent, is that your will? There are drugs on the street, is that your will? Little kids can’t eat, and go to schools filled with violence and bullying, is that your will?

To ensure that the government serves the peoples will, the government workers should be rewarded with the same quality of life they give the most vulnerable. If the most vulnerable are suffering, the government did not serve the peoples will to reduce suffering, and so they are not rewarded. If the most vulnerable are comfortable, the government served the peoples will to reduce suffering, and so the government is rewarded with comfort.

Government does the people’s will. Government employs individuals to do the will of the people. That doesn’t mean that those that work for government don’t get paid.

You get paid to do the will of the people. If you don’t want to pay government workers then purchase robots and AI to do that work for us. People get compensated. Period.

The government is not a company.

I told you to stop thinking like this, this philosophy just drives you deeper and deeper into this silly rabbit hole. Economy class lied, sorry. Read a book. I recommend kropotkins conquest of bread. This isn’t an insult of intelligence, you were just miseducated. Reeducate yourself, stop wasting a perfectly good brain on such silly beliefs.

The government is a slave to the people. That’s not communist thinking, even locke agreed. The government only exists if the people say it does and allow it to do so and are satisfied with it. The governments job is not to profit or make money or be rewarded, it is to serve the people, only then will it be rewarded at the discretion of the people.

If the government doesn’t want to be a slave to the people, that’s authoritarianism, and the government may as well be abolished if it does not serve the people above all else.

It’s a VERY little know fact because it’s not true. The Tappans were an American Indian tribe of that Upstate New York area. Zee is a Dutch name for sea.

Servants get paid. Pay me $1,000,000 and I’ll serve you too.

You’re thinking of Slaves, not servants.

This is a free market. If the government wants servants they can compete for talent just like private businesses.

I’m not a fan of the mayor or the brother being in that position but public servants get paid. Suggestion to the contrary is crazy.

Another word for government worker is public servant. Their purpose is not to serve themselves, it’s to serve the public. The minute you introduce pay to the equation the goal is no longer to serve but to profit.

Look at doctors, in nations with universal healthcare doctors use tried and true methods, known to be reliable. In Cuba doctors get paid relatively little and have to sacrifice a lot, this is why Cuba has some of the best healthcare on earth. In the US, where healthcare is not universal, doctors use experimental untrustworthy inefficient methods, which cost more, because the doctors goal is not to help but to make the most money.

A government worker should be treated the same as our most vulnerable, the poorest. If the poorest are suffering, the government worker is not doing their job, and should suffer as they are not doing their job. If the poorest are comfortable and healthy, the government worker is doing a good job, and should be rewarded with comfort and health. This is pretty basic.

Once you introduce pay their goal is no longer to help the people, but to do so in new experimental inefficient expensive ways, to funnel the most money into their pockets. If they wouldn’t work without pay, they shouldn’t be trusted to help others as clearly that’s not their goal.

This is incredibly basic. Get over the money-is-everything philosophy this genocidal corrupt nation has taught you.

Their total grants would have been close to $3billion, only half of which were contingent on reaching the jobs milestone.. I'm not arguing that your wrong about the rest, but I don't think anyone should be bending over backwards to accommodate some of the world's largest companies.. I don't feel bad for all the owners of empty office towers, I think a correction may be a good thing so instead of the dick measuring contest of trying to build the tallest and most expensive things we can maybe the city will focus on improving things for the average person rather than the 1% top earners.. it is theoretically a good deal. But with their track record and the fuckery in this city, sounds like it could go bad.

Some place else, the nimby solution to all my problems.

Ali Forney Center does such great work. I’m glad they were able to be there for you when you needed them!

Malcolm X was the minister of the NYC and Washing DC temples and put the group on the map after standing vigilant outside of a Harlem police station after one of their members had been severely beaten by police.

His home was firebombed on Valentine’s Day 1965 while he was away in Rochester making his last speech. Four days later he was shot while preparing to speak in Harlem.

In a March 1944 interview to Ebony magazine he stated that they “would have to kill me” because he knew where “all of their bodies were buried” and “might exhume some”.

Wonder what’s going to take longer, finishing the mod hunt, or publishing the crime thread vote that was supposed to be published months ago and the person putting on the poll messed up and doesn’t want to put that out there.

The US absolutely should do coups when it advances our interests. Like it or not, we are all subject to natural selection.

Just checked and it looks like they only rent them (212s) out at lower prices, if you want to buy one, they're in the thousands. And the monthly fees aren't cheap, most are $40-$100 / month.

I just don't see how anyone's quality of life will improve by it being moved

Yeah bro, naw. You gotta chill. Yes, Eric Adams is dirt. I don't think anyone here will disagree with that but you need to take that "woe is me" BS back to Staten Island. Systemic racism is absolutely real. Read any history book. Just 60 years ago there were actual laws on the books to this effect. Just 30 years, there were actual government policies specifically targeted at particular groups, and today when can point out MULTIPLE issues still stemming from the fact that for the last 400+ years people like yourself will NOT get out of the way and let us end racism for once and for all. So no, White supremacy has DEFINITELY earned the vitriol that it gets.

Now that being said, I denounce EVERYTHING the NOI stands for. Regardless of the fact that one or two of their points might sound appealing in a vacuum, it's all fruits from a poisonous tree. Racial prejudice and systemic racism are both stains on humanity and should be eradicated.
