I have no idea what this comment means or how it's relevant to the string above.

You said that you won't see articles about battery fires on those subs. That was a lie.

>Don't make this about cars vs bikes

Check out a mirror, my dude. All I did was correct your misstatement.

This is awkward: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCbike/comments/xre76s/consumer_alert_attorney_general_james_urges_new/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

You might want to check those subs before spouting off next time. Both of them have a bunch of threads about battery fires.

Who are these people on the left you speak of? Can you link us to them saying we should ignore fire hazards?

Yeah speeding and violating elections law are totally equivalent. Lol republicans are such a dumpster fire in this state.

There's loads of federal funding that goes to Texas states and localities as well, such as: https://cuellar.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=407420

Maybe that funding and a portion of the funding going to Texas NGOs should instead go to NYC and NYC NGOs.

You say "send even more to NYC" as though disproportionate funding is here. The truth is that it's the opposite. Texas is getting billions and using it to complain and play political games.

I guess we should revoke the federal funding they receive, them, and reallocate it to NYC.

Note also that the people being used as pawns are people who are in the country legally.

Odd to call facts "gaslighting" and then tell a lie by saying most migrants subject to removal proceedings don't show up for court.

Border apprehensions are up under the current administration, so I'm not sure why you're lying and saying nothing is being done to stop people from entering.

The city has been helping these folks. That doesn't change the fact that using them as political pawns is wrong.

Not all migrants pass through El Paso, right? There are ports of entry all over the country.

As noted, they give off important holidays across religions.

Schools were closed for Yom Kippur, and will be closed for Passover, Good Friday and Eid al-Fitr later this year.

Does that also mean that the federal government should revoke the financial assistance it provides to Texas in connection with these matters?

You don't understand why it's inappropriate to use people's lives as a cynical political stunt?

More like:

"Paper is better than rock"

"There is a mystical rock known to the ancients that is greater than any paper"

"...ok"

Sorry about your medallion

It's not.

Regulatory risk is part of analyzing a business decision. It's not uncommon for investments to turn south because of a regulatory shift. It happens.

Happy to do so. People make bad business investments every day. It's a shame that some folks overextended themselves so badly, but we shouldn't make bad public policy choices because they did.

General statements should be construed generally.

I don't think outright banning of cars is the right policy decision. There are occasions when it is necessary or makes sense. I do, however, think that's steps like congestion pricing and eliminating subsidized parking are appropriate insofar as they force car users to bear the cost of their choice.
