Reply to comment by systemization in NYPD officer Ann Marie Guerra accused of stuffing panties in underling’s mouth to be promoted by GothamGumby
Personally, it elicited an interesting sense of amusement and awe at the layers of stupidity within it: car selfie, flipping off camera, dressed in work uniform, the work uniform is a police officer (designed to uphold common decency in society via law enforcement), deciding to take the picture, sharing it with others or being careless in a way that it is now publicly viewed on the internet.
It is forsure an interesting cultural artifact

The very rich are generally business owners and their income is via capital gains. Capital gains state tax is based on your primary residence only.

We got a taste of what Public Transit in this City could be under Byford, but Cuomo didn’t like being “outshined” and forced him out. We deserve better than our public transit being held hostage by the cronies of whoever is in the governors office

Serious question. Why is people of color okay but not colored people? It's literally the exact same thing.

Well partially, your income tax is still paid on time you work in NY, not sure how it work on equity grants or bonuses though for non resident, knowing Ny tho, they’ll claw it back

Flipping the bird and presumably posting it to your social media profile isn't inappropriate behavior for an on-duty NYPD officer? The picture was featured in the article with no caption, so one can only assume how they found it of her...

If I were you, I’d put your efforts there. You’ll be much better off in the long run then spending your off hours driving an Uber.
Good luck.

I don’t get it. Is this picture designed to elicit some sort of reaction or response?

You either didn't ready my comment carefully or purposely misinterpreted it, so I'll make it easier for you.
I said bail reform is not the SOLE CAUSE of crime increase -- that's easy to see from crime stats nationally that likewise show increases in non-bail reform states and locales. But neither did I say that COVID was the sole cause -- that too would be disingenuous and an overly-simplistic conclusion (same as your stance which seems to be only blaming bail reform). Effects can have multiple causes -- this is why statistical analyses exist to calculate how much of the increase we can attribute to one factor versus another.
I would suggest against looking at global crime statistics, its like comparing apples and oranges (besides the fact that reported data for many countries are unreliable). Too many different variables across countries makes the comparison far less useful than comparing among states for making policy decisions based off those statistical trends.

>The knee jerk response "well that's new york for you" has grown tiresome and thankfully the populace is waking up to it.
I want to pull my hair out when people use that as a scapegoat for people/places/things being shitty in this city.

My train gets delayed almost everyday for the W to change tracks at Whitehall.
This is a known event. Surely some planning and process could make this an exception and not the rule.
Not in NYC. Basic stuff is impossible.

Sure there could be reasons that landlords don't want to offer a renewal lease. The most obvious one is they think they could get more money from someone else. But a tenant's ability to stay in their homes is more important than a landlord's ability to make more money. I'm sure some people here would disagree with that but I think it's common sense that the human need of New York's 5.6 million renters should be prioritized over the business interests of relatively few landlords, the vast majority of which are corporate entities.

Why are you looking for side gigs instead of a better full time job? You are a college graduate and you aren’t making double the legal minimum wage.

I love this one.
Makes me really wish they didn't change the south street seaport bench/steps thing by pier 17 cause that setting would've made a gorgeous painting in this style.

Ye so guess it’s work same way with equity grants since those are capital gains I guess
