Think there is a non zero chance republicans move to gut section 8 now that social security seems to be off the table when the debt showdown starts ramping up more.

According to the NY Post this guy's racial identity is 'mentally ill'.

I'm not right wing. I fucking hate Donald Trump. I'm quite far left and extremely anti racist. That kind of comes with being in an interracial marriage and having black kids.
But no. This was not done by a trump supporter. I wish it were. It would make it easier to not have to confront a serious fucking issue. But ignoring shit like this is not a good idea.
Edit. Someone above asked for a source for what I'm. Talking about in regards to the race aspect. https://www.jns.org/other-minorities-committing-vast-majority-of-antisemitic-assaults-in-nyc/
Again: I fucking hate this shit. But it's an actual problem.

I prefer they just have enough money to keep their doors open.

I'm just a worker, I wish I could solve the problems but our politicians aren't helping and we're largely overlooked. Thanks for responding in such a civil manner. I really enjoyed our chat and your outlook. Have a nice weekend:)

there are black dominican, colombians, and hondurians. Also if it was a brown hispanic, most of the time they would say hispanic, or even go into specific race, like mexican, or hondurian. It's only for black americans that they say "teens", with no description at all

I had no idea the struggles of the Union members of the construction industry were facing, thank your for taking the time to educate me on this.
I think this is a legitimate concern and one we all should strive to fix. It unfortunate that this new cheap labor influx is destroying the rights those in the labor force, like yourself, fought so hard for. I offer my condolences for your struggles and thank you for working to make the city better through your work on the infrastructure here in the city. I hope one day we can find a solution to these problems, and I’ll keep this information in mind when I next talk to people about the subject matter and hope to educate them as well. It is unfortunately the best I can do to assist, is spreading information the best I can when appropriate.
As an insider to the industry do you have any solutions to fix the issues facing the industry of union construction labor?

Seems like that’s a one timeish maneuver, if it’s 7-12, 6 years of whittling enrollment would hurt them overall

there are tons of ways to extract value from a company that aren't via equity. the regulations for non profits are almost non-existent. some states have their own related to excessive compensation. But generally its a free for all.

I work in highrise construction and little by little non-union is taking over. It has unfortunately been on the fast track the past few years largely due to the unlimited, cheap workforce that the non-union companies have now. They pay these people very little and they don't het benefits but they don't know what the real cost of living is here yet and we're losing all of the rights and legitimate pay that the union members fought for all of these years. Many friends have lost their homes and I was even out of work for 6 months last year after working every day through covid. I just think that it's wrong to give away freely what others have made as their career and take advantage of the situation. When you get free room and board, the money they make may seem like a lot. I know when I was out of work, I still had to pay rent, etc. I kissed the unemployment gravy train, I got laid off the month after the bonus money stopped when the rest of the people went back to work. Yeah I'm bitter, I don't like it. I think we should also care about what happens to our own life long residents but that's not what happens.

Imagine thinking those two should be mutually exclusive.

no it can't. you can only lose your section 8 voucher for specific reasons. It's not like...oh sorry, your voucher wasn't appropriated this year. Once you are in the program, you are in. Thats why the waiting list for vouchers is years long.

Not only profiteering, charter schools drive the illusion that teaching craft is responsible for an individual student's success.
Really, these cherry picked students are contorted into believing in exclusion of other children as key to their own salvation.
They are taught and trained into existential crises. "The drama of the gifted child." Alice Miller.
These children are hostages to the theory of white supremacy. Only adherents are granted the tax resources paid by their parents.
Charter schools are inherently unequal.
