Reply to As Battery Fires Mount, Sanitation Department Scrambles to Deal with the Hazardous Aftermath by bikeskata
I use to be a bike messager in 90s without an E bike was it more annoying yes but it's not impossible. What's going to happen is eventually there's going to be a big fire that's going to do massive damage and the move to ban ebikes and scooters will begin.

Except for Florida(even that is a bit overblown) there really is no ban on black history it's being taught in most colleges and plenty of museums, historical sites with plaques. It's not much work like looking into history in general if you really want to find stuff out. Seriously more parents should take their kids to museums in general

I've racked up multiple speeding tickets over the years (10) and honestly at the end of the day the towns and state just want you pay the fines because they want the money. So if there's a fine to be paid pay it then go take some defensive driving classes to knock down your points and behave yourself for the rest of the year. I also have one reckless driving ticket by that was because I drove on the medium in greenbrook on rt22 for a few minutes to get to my exit the judge just had me pay a fine

Reply to Mayor Baraka Announces Newark Exceeded Its Goal of Housing 539 Homeless Individuals With the Partnership of HUD, Stakeholders by madsheb
They're making an effort now because they probably were told by these luxury apartment developers our tenants don't want to have to walk through a sea of homeless around Newark Penn station. Because for 18 years I've been around in that area and they didn't start doing anything about the homeless until all these luxury buildings were announced

I mean of course there's good and bad in every profession but with police even if the good cops tried to make a change in regards to a bad cop historically their fellow rank and file isolates and pushes them out for doing so.. the issue with police in general

Yeah it takes a lot of patience and arm twisting to get a police report on much of anything nowadays. Had my sister's scooters stolen and it was insured the company wanted a police report and you would have thought I was asking the police to give me their first borns

So if somebody wanted to start a Spanish student union or a Irish student union those are automatically considered racist?

Any club to do with race in general the black union club was just the one mentioned in the article. We as a society have to get out of our bubbles and echo chambers both in life and entertainment. It's part of the reason there's so much divide in this country more mixing less tv

Well the obsession with race is driven by media and politicians which are both owned by the multi industry corporations. Gotta distract the poor and middle class well the rich rob us blind

I have coworkers who live in Plainfield and we can have civil conversations about politics and current events and they tell their older relatives have asked where the blackness in Plainfield has gone to this day

I maybe in the minority opinion on this but I don't understand why you need a student club such as the black student union based on race in a public school in general meeting in a public school building. You can have it just have the meeting somewhere else because it causes division. If it's not a club based on a school class or a netural thing like sports or technology it shouldn't be held on school grounds

Most cases the news won't go into detail because it involves minors unless it's a actually crime

Reply to MTA urges social media companies to remove subway surfer videos after teen’s death by Grass8989
At the end of the day subway surfing falls under the play stupid games win stupid prizes category. If I was the MTA I would start putting up videos of the fails no matter how gruesome they are because sometimes a little shock is what people need to correct their future decisions
