God, idealistic people who know nothing about policing are so fucking cringey.

Not racist, it historically referred to those with Down’s Syndrome. Not much better but still.

If I'm not mistaken, it was because the things randomly took pictures every 5 seconds or something ridiculous and sent that info to Google so they could "have a more accurate" Google street view or some dumb shit.

Like, yes, THAT'S the world we want to live in. Tech companies need to pull their heads out of their asses

The DOEs budget is $40billion, an alltime high despite -10% enrollment and lackluster performance. NYPDs is at $5 billion. Just say you hate cops.

The MBTA will miss out then

>high-test-scoring Succes Academy charter chain bought up 11 plots in Jamaica, Querns

Good read, indeed!

Why should they do anything? They'll just be called racist and sued for excessive force.

All the properties the DOE and City own and we need to lease property for schools? Seems wasteful.

The DOEs budget is like $40billion. NYPDs around $5billion. So yea, they probably should.

Go ahead.

> Police say the crook, who has a dark complexion and slim build

A black guy. Just say a black guy. Because we all know if it was a white guy, they wouldn’t use “light complexion,” would they now?

Does he?

To me it feels a bit like they're "double dipping". Charter schools already get funding from the state government without needing to meet the regulations of a public schools, now they're charging public schools rent which ultimately means they're taking money from the state twice.

more reaganite Neoliberalism... shifting taxpayer dollars to a private enterprise. No surprises here.

Ugh, Monet immersion.....

Is there something wrong with this?

Interesting to see an upvoted racist comment at the end of this thread. Sorta confirms what the rest of us think about Staten Island.

Probably should just post the underlying article rather than link to Ravitch’s ridiculous blog.

Well a while back when there were certsin popular web sites for streaming things (pirate), the FCC had begun cracking down...even for downloads that were not for profit. Some would see a letter in the mail threatening court, and I can tell you that there were a number of people (at lwast one that I can remember) who were made an example of. I hope this makes sense. It is something you can research on your own if you would like more information.

Man this is a complicated situation that I don’t definitely don’t completely understand. I’m happy those families are getting the help they need. And I hope they become thriving NYC residents with homes of there own. I think the city could use the labor force. And if it helps prop up the hotels I guess that’s good too. Hopefully they become full residents and add tax dollars. This is going to be a turbulent time in NYC for sure. Between the migrants, lack of office workers commuting everyday and the myriad other changes to NYC, I hope we can all get through this turbulent time out the other side. It may take years, but I think with the right people leading the way we can all get through it! Hopefully we can start converting office buildings to apartments soon. I’m optimistic, but then again I’m in a position that I can leave the city if I need to.

And honestly I haven’t even notice the migrnats around the city but maybe I’m blund

Yeah man I don't know. I remember a similar thing when they integrated the camera into their macbooks, and all of a sudden macbooks were entirely banned from secure places (like government facilities)

and apple didn't really seem to give a shit. But I think the glasses ban would be way more widespread, since they're always on someone's face.

Maybe they'll market it as more specialty items, rather than always-on items? Like, "Put them on while driving for AR navigation enhancements!" or something
