I'm mad because sad people like yourself are preventing the US from reforming the prison system to be in line with other developed countries.
.instead, you want to keep a prison system that dictators use.

Actually, criminologists concistently find that repression is a very weak correlator with reducing crime rates.
But what do you care. You just invent your own facts based on your gut feeling and then think you know everything. Fuck off

Don't forget about the corruption. Transparency is also bad for corruption.

>That said... If one were to hold a seminar about the harmful effects of "Jewishness/Blackness/Femininity" etc. It would be rightfully panned.
Yes, if it was a different thing then it would be different.

Bangladesh and Ghana are pretty poor, but not particularly violent either.
Poverty went Down during COVID yet crime skyrocketed. Poverty went up significantly in 2008 but crime did not spike at nearly the same levels (and went down within a year or two).
> Have you never spoken to one?
You guys are all the same, thinking that sociology professors have all the answers to society's problems. Crimnologists have also found that hiring more police on the streets leads to less crime. Are you in favor of that?

Izakaya right next door. It was OK. Okiboru is also close and a billion times better.

Idk where you are in nyc, but the biggest payment you’re probably making is rent or mortgage/common charges. So the easy answer is to find something (perhaps with roommates) on the “affordable” side. This will likely mean further from Manhattan. Another option is roommates.
The rest is just miscellaneous (food, transportation, events, utilities). This is something you can manage to more of an extent than the housing.
Bottom line is you just need to spend less and save more. Particularly more so if your income isn’t increasing at the rate of inflation. This could mean you don’t go out to eat often/cook more, less events, less travel, etc.
This is true regardless of where you live. NYC just has a higher housing cost but lower transportation cost (subway/bus vs car for a big chunk of NYC).
Dual income is much easier I will say. So roommates are probably the way to go for you if you do not have a spouse. That way less of the cost burden for housing is solely on you

>10x more people in prison per Capita than Germany and yet way higher crime rates?
We have far more guns on the streets than Europe.
>You call that a success? Man, your parents must've put the bar for your achievements insanely low
Like I said, violent crime in NYC fell by 80%. I'm happy for that. Maybe you're mad because more criminals went to jail.

At first I just read this as just, "this painting was taken at night" and it still made sense.

Art nerdery aside, let's get to the important questions. Where'd you get ramen?
Painting is dope though.

my firm belief is that if you have a first name like "Inna" it means your last name must be legally changed to "Minute"

We need to force the MTA to release itemized invoices for every contract it signs as a condition of congestion pricing. No more no-strings-attached funding for the MTA.

That’s the bigger issue a lot of these people in Los income housing rent stabilized or projects were never taught financial literacy and do have no ability to properly manage finances to get thendelfd out of poverty. I have friends that we’re in poverty but learned financial literacy and the importance of an education and’s not they’re a controller at s small hedge fund. Without proper education and financial literacy will determine if they’ll break the cycle of generational poverty living off the government programs
