Progressives think you shouldn’t be able to pay your way out of jail. Progressives are right about this. Bail is stupid. Either you are a danger to those around you, or you aren’t. Whether you are able to pay or not, should have no bearing on whether you are a threat.

Not hard. If reforms need to be made around the edges, we are in favor of that. No such thing as a perfect justice system. Doesn’t mean New Yorkers think the old bail system made any fucking sense.

>France lost billions of dollars in potential tax revenue and the average family impacted by the tax paid a paltry sum of around 2,000 euros.

Does that make sense to you? You really think that a Billionaire is going to uproot his and his family's life for a 2K tax increase? I mean you can't even get a used Toyota corolla for 2k.

Absolutely, I fully agree with this deal. Singapore's HDB Scheme of public housing is one of the most successful urban planning programs in modern history. But you should understand what you are suggesting, because it is probably different than how you're envisioning it.

It is important to understand that Singapore's HDB system is truly meritocratic, it isn't just a handout of free housing, but rather a form of lend-lease whereby Singapore citizens can apply for subsidized housing after meeting social criteria such as being married, and not having been convicted of a serious crime, and agreeing to abide by the rules and regulations of the housing program and the state, which are vigorously enforced by a network of community patrols and cameras. Also, married citizens who have more than two children are given priority.

If we couple this program with Singapore's robust and judicious use of corporal punishment (caning) for crimes such as vandalism and sexual assault, and the death penalty for drug dealing, then I really think we might be off to a good start. I would love to see NYCHA housing being as judiciously and equitably dispensed to good virtuous citizens as are Singapore's HDB flats, and I would love to see those who piss in and graffiti the NYCHA elevators and stairwells get the cane, and I would love to see those who deal drugs in the NYCHA halls get the death penalty.

You will be glad to hear they haven’t come out in full force yet. It’s only the beginning. Liberal policies do nothing for the Asian American communities. They use to all campaign for blue. They haven’t openly come out to campaign red but they sure as hell will over the next couple of years

  • Crime on our elders and seeing the accused being let out even after countless footage being shared around. It is demoralizing to continually see

  • Specialized High Schools mean nothing now and more and more leave the city to go into Long Island

  • Jails and homeless shelters being built right in our Chinatown

We are all about mind your own business but now it’s affecting our business

Asians only care about education and safety. Each ethic group have their own agendas and the liberals definitely do not support the Asian community at all. The one good thing about America is the democracy and that each person gets the vote for what they believe in. I do not blame anyone for voting the way they do based off of what they believe and what benefits them. At the same time they can not ignore why Asians will stop supporting progressive reform. Majority wins and that’s how it should be. Either prove they care or watch the change

I hope liberal leaders read this or scroll through Reddit because this is on you guys for alienating our voice and vote. Be afraid our numbers are growing

Down voting me won’t change the sentiment. You’ll see us in full force coming soon. Numbers won’t lie
