The article said it needs $100MM in repairs.

So far, Trump is as guilty as Clinton & Hunter

Where did you find that this building has a land lease? I haven't seen anything to that nature.

Doesn't mean they don't need new police cars

True. There's sometimes no stopping people with horrendous taste from vomiting all over everything.

At this point I'm not sure Hibachi has any meaning whatsoever. Except for perhaps this thing

Also important to remember that owning the building is not the same as owning the land on which it sits.

When we do buy cop cars, they should 100% be electric.

That said, we should stop replacing them so fast. Currently we replace them every 3 years! Make that 7 at least.

Edit: A way higher % of officers should be walking beats instead of driving anyways.

Battery degradation isn't that big an issue since EV battery packs aren't like your phone battery and have active battery management systems to keep batteries at the optimal temperature and current. (Except the Nissan Leaf. Those EV's have issues with battery longevity.) Just about all major EV manufacturers offer 8 year, 100,000 mile battery warranties for a reason.

Most cop cars are just sitting still for basically the whole day and they're not in use 24/7/365. Incorporating slow charging into them sitting at a corner for half a day would be a breeze. This city is already building out curbside chargers. My neck of the woods got 3 stations with 6 charging cables and the cops in the neighborhood can just change where they idle their car by a block or two if they need a charge.

You bought your piece of land, not your neighbour’s

They’re push button actuated in the pillars

It also makes a ton of sense for fleet vehicles to be electric - they always go back to the same parking lot/yard.

Why municipal fleet vehicles weren't some of the first vehicles to go electric has always been confusing to me

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it has $190 million in repairs given the cost of construction and restoration in NYC. Good luck to the winner haha

There's a tiny button on the side of each door, you push it and the door pops open a tiny bit, and then you just pull it open the rest of the way.

Already exists - The Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street

Broadcasting radio can interfere with emergency services communication which, literally, would harm people. The FCC is absolutely necessary to keep airwaves clear and organized.

Whether the spectrum is being used for something useful is debatable, but this guerrilla-style radio anarchy is not the way to make a statement -- especially in such a big metro area. It is most certainly not "based".

Depends on how much down time the vehicle needs to charge and how much max charge it will lose each year.

Trust me I can go back and forth with you all day on the decline of radio and the reasons for it. I agree with everything you're saying about the state of the industry. Our only hope at this point is for the behemoths like iHeart and whatnot to no longer deal with the billions in debt they have and sell off their assets to various local owners who make radio what it should be. But that's a tall ask and an extremely unlikely future.

But at this point if you can't get an AM or FM license, you gotta go online. And fact of the matter is, most people are only listening to radio in their cars, and you can still listen to internet radio via your phone + bluetooth or aux cable in a car.

An AM/FM signal perhaps makes you seem more legitimate which is the only reason I can think of as to why these brothers continued to pirate the airwaves, but I assume all the advertising they are doing for themselves is online anyway. They promoted their programs on Instagram and whatnot so they could still do that for an internet-only station. When they got their first ever letter/warning from the FCC, they should have used their final moments on FM to say we are shutting down and used the opportunity to promote their new internet-only radio station. They opted not to do that and now they have to pay the price for it.
