Have a 212 cell for almost 15 years. I am far less than 60.

You just remove them from your iCloud account, it’s pretty simple same as selling a phone.

I bought one from there years ago, think it cost about $80? I used to use it for business, I've got it attached to a Google Voice line that just forwards to my cellphone. Doesn't cost me anything, I'm just sitting on it in case it comes in useful one day.

The overwhelming majority of the unhoused don't do that, you're gross. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and are a job loss, accident, breakup away from potential homelessness.

A long time ago? What is a long time? This guy died in the 1970s, by your logic shouldn't time erase that meaning?
The erection of these confederate monuments peaked in the 1950s as a response to the civil rights movement. Not after the war. The people who put them up are the daughters of the confederacy and they are still VERY (20k active members and a facebook group.) They are switching tactics and going after school boards now.
I am not aware of any large concerted effort to 'phase these out' can you enlighten me on this further?
I'm confused as to your stance. Does time erase meaning or should the confederate statues and the street name be removed? What is your opinion?

That’s interesting. I wonder how it works if say you want to use it for a while then give it to somebody like a family member as a hand me down.
If it’s only on the new pros then it’ll take a year or two to filter. I imagine most people still have the old pros..I’ve had mine for 1.5 years and I’m hoping to get at least another year out of them

This is what progress looks like?
I imagine this will make news in a decade or so when there are calls to change the name.

Hindsight is 20/20. Not going to blame the city in the middle of a massive pandemic for not fast-tracking road fixes (especially since you'd need workers in a time before vaccines and high Covid lethality to do it.)

No, you have to dig a little bit but I bought one for $9.95 since the search function is made to sell you the exclusive ones.
It was $9.95 + $2 to port it away. There were about 100+ numbers at that price range. If you want to keep it at numberbarn, then yes you are renting it.
Type 212, then in filters put “Get It Now” and sort by price and a lot should come up.

Not sure if they purposely doing these things vs symptoms of dysfunctional government. From what I understand it's basically down to the byzantine politics and dysfunctional infighting and competing priorities. One of the easiest issues to understand is from what I hear is the poor relationship between teachers and "management"(principles and DOE). Then the other is that DOE management doesn't appear to be a promote from within culture based on performance, the real decision makers are political appointments who basically redo everything from scratch when they're in. Maybe the best analogy is that the school system is as dysfunctional as the MTA except the definition of success is made even muddier. Then in my opinion I feel that the system has grown so big that more authority should be given to local schools and local elected officials. The DOE and political appointee are too far removed from the neighborhoods which are basically cities onto themselves population wise.

Not really. Pretty much every mainstream liberal would say yes, they are oppressive. It’s fringe socialist weirdos who disagree.

Not OP but I think charter schools in NYC are a makeshift bandaid and political bandaid to address the inability to meet the needs and wants by parents of schools due to bureaucracy, infighting withing government, competing politics and educational goals, and power of teacher unions. Basically similar to outsourcing govt services to outside companies (which has advantages of not being tied up in bureaucracy and plausible deniability if contractor messes up) but in this case the government maintains control of a competing service(public school vs outsourced charter school). The existence of charter schools is due to government and political dysfunction (which seems to be worsening in NYC) so unless those disappear charter schools aren't likely either. Also keep in mind there's a lot of tax payer money out there so everyone wants it to be used the way they want it to be used.

They overthrew the Russian puppet leaders and let the Ukrainians democratically elect a leader that they wanted. It was the first time in centuries that Ukraine wasn’t controlled by Russia in some form.
