> Plus, ideally there shouldn’t be a need for advocates to drive people into doing their job. If that’s necessary, isn’t there something much more wrong?

Well that was my whole point, it’s all a symptom of a much larger problem because the whole system is broken. It doesn’t “exempt” them per se but it seems weird to selectively apply the rules and excoriate NYU for something that is true all across the country.

It’s a very sad story and there’s no doubt in my mind that lots of people die from substandard care due to being poor or not having someone in the hospital to advocate for them and stay on top of the care plan. I have two nurses in my family and they always talk about how important it is to have an advocate in order to get proper care.

My only point was that this isn’t an NYU problem per se, the problem is systemic and only regulation can fix systemic issues.

> Your socioeconomic class...including the type of insurance you have, determines the quality of health care you get in NYC and around the country.

This happens even in western europe, where everyone has coverage but people with more money can pay for upgraded service or to skip the queue. I don't know any country where a billionaire or whatever their equivalent of a senator is differently in the hospital.

Every hospital in this city (and I'm guessing everywhere in this country) offers better service for VIPs and their families. None of this is limited to just NYU.

Money talks. If they want to end the ability for people to donate money to these institutions it might help but even then I doubt it would fully remedy the problem.

Rich people even pay a third party service staffed by doctors and NPs who will meet you at the hospital and be your advocate, talking with the medical staff, reviewing all the charts and orders and being on top of it to make sure your shit is taken care of. It's nice to be rich.

Seriously just require batteries to be easily accessible and removable, boom done. Just like phones were 20 years ago. Same with laptops.

Well I mean people Moscow Mitch was banned from restaurants. It was a new article but it’s not like there was tons of consternation and pearl clutching. Plus he’s famous and visible they weren’t using mass surveillance techniques and AI to block normal people from doing a girlscout troupe activity.

Why aren’t democrats up in arms about this shit? Where is Bernie and AOCs bill to prohibit companies from using facial recognition in personally discriminatory ways?

They'll probably have weed that isn't moldy

I honestly don't understand why this isn't blowing up nationally as the harbinger of a major social issue brewing.

Don't ride between the train cars and you'll be fine.

I guess he and Escobar will share the spot maybe when they take turns getting injured?

Will be great to see Guillorme get more time next season too.

What's astounding is that they were hit by 2 more trains AFTER they were killed by the first one.

https://abc7ny.com/subway-person-struck-mta-train/12593529/

"Police say a 44-year-old man and a 63-year-old woman had been hit by a train shortly before 10:30 Tuesday morning.

After the first train hit the victims, a source close to the investigation confirms to Eyewitness News two subsequent trains ran over their bodies amid confusion from 911 callers about where the incident had occurred."

Of course you should get the shot every year. You can get it at the same time as the covid shot.

> The shelter system needs legitimate government oversight. Or just be city run entirely.

Most city run services are just as broken. Public housing, NYPD, DOB, DOE, public hospitals, hell even the street sweepers don’t want to do their jobs lately.

Yeah that's why the 24 hour taco bell and jack in the box was our options growing up. I was amazed when I came to times square and saw the multi-story mcdonalds here next to an internet cafe.

Deninos is great. Starting with the pandemic we would take the kids hiking in the greenbelt (the mount moses hike is great with small kids) and get some deninos pizza after.

If you just want to take the ferry across and grab something, "Maries 2" is great as well.

Shit I was in a poker room in Vegas last week and they were showing pickle ball on espn. I guess some famous athletes bought some teams so they’re trying to build it up in a big thing.

I can’t wait to see them start using a flamethrower drone.

"New York, for instance, doesn’t allow more than three unrelated people to live in the same unit."

I was so pissed that Uber got rid of the rewards program with the earning free rides. I used to take it all the time and then when it was gone it was like... well might as well take lyft more often.

It would and getting rid of cemeteries to reclaim the land for people who are still alive would be even more amazing tbh.

Just build a memorial wall with the names on all the headstones that relatives can visit if they want.

It's not a majority yet but it is growing.

Hells yeah bring back viking funerals to the east and hudson rivers!

El yucateco is good that’s for sure. I’ve branched out to order the pack for each season of hot ones and some of those are damn good but no brands as solid as el yuc. I’m partial to the Caribbean one.

White and red sauce. This is the way

Making everyone pay for their own heat is what the government wants since it’s the expected outcome of forcing all new buildings to electric heat.
