Yeah this thread is off the rails right now. Never seen so much right wing bullshit in this sub.

Yes, but there were some questions around the quality of service being provided by the company. It was called PCC. They had a good backstory too, were made up of striking Verizon workers IIRC.

It can be pulled at any time and then landlord is SOL and stuck with tenant who he no way to pay

because vouchers can only be sent to landlords if the building is up to code. if they take the voucher they will eventually get inspected and be asked to repair their buildings before getting another payment (and the tenant has a lease.) They would rather get someone who will pay the whole amount upfront each month regardless of the condition of the building.

Thank you. I hope you don’t mind, I wanted to make sure I was taking the time to respond to a person and not a bot, so I looked at your profile and I wanted to wish you luck with your son on your next Metal Detecting Adventure!

Take care!

so guaranteed rent payment from the government is bad? huh?

Very well said :)

Yeah, surely this grievance is more valid than the one that came before it. Just keep jumping from phony outrage to phony outrage until you find something that sticks!

A year or two ago, if ANYONE questioned the wisdom in this, they were labeled alt-right or racist.

What caused that, I wonder?

What political pressures led to that? Hmmmm.... 🤔

I have no idea, that’s a good question. But based the timeline of events stated In The article: when they left there home country, when they arrived in Texas, and when they were bussed to Ny, and when Ny set up the camps and Hotel system. They hotels were not set up, so as it pertains to this amenity they would have no knowledge of it.

Though in my opinion, I think people come to the US from central/South American countries in general for a better life then what they had. I have no idea what kind of information they acquire back in there home nations as to how life in the US in for an illegal migrant. But whatever it is, it makes them believe it is better then what they have.

And despite the services they are provided I do not envy there position compared to my own. They may have free housing in hotels for now, and they may have free food and water it seems, I still do not envy them.

And while I can agree with what I am inferring is a general sentiment of disdain for illegal migrants getting free amenities while natural born Americans are often times left to struggle. I think a less then satisfactory answer is 2 fold.

One. Our anger should be pointed at politicians and those in power who refuse to address the many issues at the border and within the system at large for years if not decades which ignores the many issues of the citizenry and will provide which seems like greater assistance to migrants.

And 2 I think this is a panic/emergency solution to a problem that could be far worse if 50,000 desperate, poor and hungry people were left to roam the NYC streets. Sometimes keeping the peace comes at a cost, that may seem unfair. And if it does seem unfair, I point to my answer in part one.

I hope you find this response satisfactory. As it took some time to construct a response.

Too warm out to be jussie Smollett.

Yes its ruined but at least no one can call us raciest 😆

It's been prevalent for a while. When I was in the shelter in 2015, NO landlord would take my section 8 voucher. I applied to roughly a few hundred places, and not one person wanted it.

It would not be r/NYC if people weren't complaining about Adams even when he manages to do something good.

It would be the best day if NYC public school stopped leasing spaces in our already crowded public schools to Super Eagle Success Leadership Striver Gold Star Elite Academy or whatever the fuck else Charter wanted to camp there. I'm tired of it.

Can someone summarize for me exactly what I'm supposed to be outraged about here?

Liberals are capitalists, tho. This is peak liberalism IMO.

Yeah I’m of the mind that the antisemitic black guys who likely feed into the antisemitic rhetoric that includes the attacking left,globalism, and Whatever other boogeyman are are infact, voting for trump.

I mean, he could be Latino or southeast Asian.

Doesn't seem like it, but no reason not to be factual until we know more.

Can you cite your source for the fact that antisemitic black dudes don’t support trump?

Edit: lol at the downvotes. Source is trust me bro.

How do we know they even needed help? I'm asking an honest question. Since we're no longer using the usual methods of bringing in immigrants and we're just taking anyone who walks in, who's to say they weren't doing just fine and they heard about the free ride and are taking it?

The article says "all employees were granted an initial 10% of the business". That means that only a minor fraction (10%) is employee-owned. Seems comparable to most tech companies, for example.

Charter schools and nyc public schools get there funding based on their enrollment on 10/31 of each year. In November, a significant number of behavioral students are removed from charters and returned to public schools. Charters keep that money and public schools serve the students.
