I get that but I think his research is just surface level stuff focusing on hybrid work. That might help but it’s not the main thing. Public employees are paid lower then private sector and wages have fallen. They were behind the cost of living before COVID and the inflation crisis now they are just not worth it

He doesn’t address the crappy tier 6 pension formula which falls most under his control or prose ways to improve future retirement for new employees

He doesn’t address the lack of promotions or the out of date and inadequate civil service test process.

Doesn’t address health benefits and is just rolling with Adams on cutting them for retirees and current employees.

There’s no bright side to these jobs anymore. No one wants a job that doesn’t benefit in anyway.

Neither is serious in solving the issue. Anyone who can jump ship will.

I shall pay a tune on the worlds tinniest violin for all the scum bag air bnb unit hoarders. Time to get a real job.

MTA projects take twice as long and cost 10x more for worse quality then other transit systems. Who signs off on this?

A recent report came out the NYCHA replaced only 2 elevators out of all their properties. The elevators have been issues since Bloomberg. And since a federal monitor and all that they have only replaced 2.

People just accept that governments cant fix anything when the truth is they can move heaven and earth to address whatever they want.

Look at how the city shares resources. Take as old as time. Just look at schools. The richest neighborhoods in Manhattan have the best stuff for their students. Schools in the Bronx have to layoff teachers.

Lower east side gets a new park. Lots of parks in poorer areas can’t get new paint.

City needs to cut services the poorest areas get the first cuts.

New housing get to be built in better areas and more homeless shelters for the poorest areas.

Bike lanes for good areas. Highest asthma rates for the Bronx

If you live in NYCHA they can’t even be bothered to fix your heat or elevator.

How resources are spent show who gets taken care off and who gets forgotten.

Love how you jump to conclusions about race when I said vulnerable communities. The Bronx is the poorest borough and Latinos work a lot of front line jobs that put them more at risk But yeah show your stupidity keyboard warrior.

Not surprising. Like we really need to stop being surprised when vulnerable communities suffer bad things. That’s the intention in this city.

I always felt that dude was set up time will tell. The DNA drag net was illegal and a bunch of innocent men have their DNA in the system and it shouldn’t be there and it will never be removed. But it’s a tale as old as time pretty white girl gets murdered they do everything to pinch someone for it even if it’s illegal. Poor black woman murdered stays unsolved forever.

We let people walk by trash mountains daily. How much worse could the city smell at this point

If only we had universal access to mental health services. She shouldn’t have to live like that

I’m not it’s because the run on a franchise model that these fines are unenforceable. A store get a fine the individual owner refuses to pay. Corporate refuses to pay. And the city won’t levy the corporate bank accounts and until all the stores building up millions in fines the sheriff won’t padlock the businesses.

It’s a useless gesture that solves nothing.

You would be surprise how much fines like McDonald’s already has on the books. My point is that no one actively enforces collections. Most companies get forced to pay when they needs something more from the city. Amount doesn’t matter

Just move your money from your right pocket to your left.

Fines don’t matter if there’s no action to collect. You’ll be shocked how much chain stores have outstanding in fines that are never collected. So it doesn’t matter

No the NYPD doesn’t care. They have to stop cyclist from fixing their obscured license plates.

The way the MTA was created was because originally each line and the busses and all that were managed by different entities. They were consolidated over time to create one unified transit agency. Theoretically you could break them up and you could have the city take over the subway. Technically NYC owns the tracks the MTA just rents them for nothing. So its possible.

Only questions are how to do that and not cut service. Once people give up on transit it’s hard to get them back.

Anyone cheering this I’ll just remind you the MTA moves millions of people on a daily bases. If that dies they all have to move to cars. Add 5 million more cars to streets and highways. No one will get anywhere.

The corruption runs deep to the core. How the fuck does a federal monitor make that much. Well. Mayor Swagger is going to make things much worse
