If you can't figure out how to get car insurance at 24 years old, maybe you shouldn't own a car.

The NOI is very Conservative in nature. Their religious beliefs and views towards other ethnic groups, their views towards LGBTQ people, and the list goes on is proof of that. These are all very Conservative policies. I know you hate to hear it but let's LITERALLY pull a run of the mill Democrat and run of the mill Republican, remove all NOI identifiers from their belief systems and see which politician supports it. That in and of itself is an indicator.

Next, ignored by the press?! What part of the internet do you live in? Nobody, and The Rock means NOBODY, in the mainstream press is a friend of the NOI. In case you haven't paid attention to the NOI, one of their biggest enemies is the White liberal. Don't believe me. Believe them. Look up the numerous publications and speeches by them on the topic.

Next, most older Black people are religiously Conservative, socially moderate to liberal, and economically liberal. This is why the Left-ward swing of the Democratic party has rode a wave of Black voters to victories for the last decade. So that point you made fell completely flat.

Next, since like most conservatives you like to lie through your teeth, even if the opposite is sitting in your face, I have already stated my opinion on Black nationalists. It's the same as my opinion of White nationalists. Although White nationalism is the genesis of Black nationalism, two wrongs don't make a right. I stated that CLEARLY and said that I think NOI are predators. I don't know how much stronger condemnation is needed. But with liars and manipulators like your type, I don't think it matters.

Besides, she's not my rep. But being that you're likely not from NYC, you wouldn't know that. I don't live in her district and had I, it's obvious that she's not my choice. 1. I'm very pro Ukraine. 2. Very pro-Jewish. 3. Very pro-culture/race mixing. In no particular order. And if you are from NYC (Staten Island will NEVER count in my book, argue with your mother), you are again intentionally lying about how voting and districting works to insinuate that I somehow voted for her because I live in Manhattan. She represents a part of Harlem. 10th District, I believe. I do NOT live in that district therefore she's NOT my rep.

Since you like to mix topics and have clearly demonstrated inability to comprehend complex topics, I will TDLR it for you. I said NOI are the worst ever because of how they try to manipulate Black Americans by inserting antisemitism and racially prejudiced ideology into otherwise legitimate discourse, i.e. lacing vegetables with polonium.

I also said that I think we should be careful to separate legitimate criticisms that even many actual Jews have about the modern state of Israel from unfair criticisms targeting Jewish people for simply being Jews. There's a complete difference. One is rightfully criticizing genocide and human rights abuses and the other is unadulterated hate directed at a group of people simply for existing. Zionism is NOT Judaism.

I also said that I feel like extremist talk is seeping into mainstream dialogue, often unknown by the people saying it (how it often starts) and it's my responsibility and the responsibility of other Jews/informed people to educate against that.

Where in any of my comments did you see any of the absolute bullshit that you tried to say. I know Trump, MTG, and Santos believe yelling lies and insults as loudly as possible is a way to muddy the waters of conversation but I'm not like other liberals. I don't care about decorum and turning the other cheek. That's a Christian value. I'm not Michelle Obama. I don't go high. When y'all go low, I take it to the m@thaf#$&in' flo' (floor). Be gone.

And to be clear, eff Louis Farrakhan, eff Elijah Muhammad, and eff the NOI. They're not even Muslim. Nothing they teach is Islamic or of Islam.

That was my former office. Room for 30, but maybe 3-5 ppl were in on a 1 day/week basis.

They're in a CBRE office and looking to downgrade but there aren't any smaller spaces in the building. A lot of the small spaces are being or have been snatched up. Gonna cost them a lot to break the lease.

Don’t we have that? Isn’t it just called property tax?

A company I work with did a 30 year 10 full floors of a building in 2018, and the staff is now completely remote except a small team I’m on that meets there once a month. It’s absolutely insane to see it so empty. All that space, all that money, just going to waste. They leave the lights on 24/7 just to help the city look a bit more alive haha

One of the cats in this video has since been euthanized and their injuries were so severe I actually felt relieved for them. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm just glad the word is getting out and there's a legit organization caring for these animals. Not usually one for macho internet talk, but seriously fuck whatever sick piece of shit did this. I don't have much to offer, but if you'll excuse me, I need to go rage donate to puppykittynycity.

Thank you for posting their page!

Also - for the first two cats shown in the post, Hibiclens will do wonders in their recovery - and clavamox (vets sometimes give it in bags with a scrub/pad type of thing, but you can also buy it over the counter at a drugstore/Target).

About $1 million per toilet. And the structure itself costs only $185k. The rest is all NYC.

> The five Portland Loo toilets, made by an Oregon-based metal firm, cost roughly $185,000 each, according to a Parks Department spokesperson.

>But the overall budget to buy and install five Portland Loos, in one pilot location in each borough, starting as early as summer 2024, could reach as much as $5.3 million.

>And strict New York City building code restrictions on prefabricated construction have dragged out getting potties to parks, a Parks spokesperson acknowledged. A sales manager for Portland Loo’s manufacturer, Madden Fabrication, told THE CITY that securing approval in New York was more difficult than in any other location the company has worked in.

>“I built 180 of these, from Portland to Alaska to Miami, and I’ve never had this certification problem,” Evan Madden told THE CITY. “New York City has been the most difficult to have a permit approved for.”

Tell them to maybe collaborate with AMA Animal Rescue on this. I know they've both teamed up with one another when the entire ordeal with Ukraine got worse. If PuppyKitty needs the ASPCA Animal Hospital within the next few days but has issues getting an appointment, let me know and I can tell the vet staff at the ASPCA (I'm a volunteer at the ASPCA and often have to deal with the vet staff there).

You are really going hard in defense of the city's obvious, well-documented, problems with bureaucracy.

It's very simple. NYC has more barriers than any of the other places this dude did 180 toilet builds. 5 toilets is peanuts, but I assure you, this same stupidity and these same barriers exist when we want to do such things as extend the 2nd Ave line and such.

> This anecdote doesn't mean anything unless they specify that the agency managing and buying the Loos made the call.

This "anecdote" - some would call it an interview - shows that the city is exceedingly dumb.

I know they've teamed up with AMA Animal Rescue before. Maybe they can get AMA to help? Although, I know AMA is mostly focused on the animals in their care, but I know AMA is always willing to spend a ton of money on animals in these situations. AMA spent over $30,000 on one dog who got mauled by two other dogs and ended up losing his left ear. ASPCA Animal Hospital might be able to help too.

Yes, I read it. And it's almost as if we had a pandemic since these were first proposed and inflation has been nuts, in addition to supply chain issues. Oh, also we got a new mayor with new priorities and new Commissioners in every agency. Of course it was delayed. Of course it costs more now.

>when one of them angrily called and asked why the firm wasn’t providing the potties.

Who called? An elected official? Someone at NYC Parks? This anecdote doesn't mean anything unless they specify that the agency managing and buying the Loos made the call. And based on the fact that he didn't say an official at NYC Parks, I bet some slack jawed City Council member or Borough President called. As a rule, they don't know anything except when the next public event with a podium will be.

Shit, needles, vomit, blood

This world needs to end already.

I work in architecture and the amount of bureaucracy you have to get through for this to work will be hilarious. Better be issuing exceptions and amendments everywhere, I think figuring out how to run shafts and plumbing is least of your problems.

Yup, discussing anything complex on social media is pretty much always a mistake. There is no competency requirement

Lol how is that even remotely feasible? You think these developers are running a charity? A lot of talk as usual but how will you finance that even with a tax break?

It really makes no sense and shows you exactly the kind of people Bragg's got making decisions on this stuff.
