Reply to He Spent 181 Days at Rikers Over NYC Condo Addition — and May Go Back If It Isn't Torn Down by Shreddersaurusrex

I saw the report last night. Clearly, there's a lot not being said. How did the addition go unnoticed for the two previous owners?

Also, since the board spoke to its lawyers, do they not realize what they are doing to the value of the building because of its reputation? Who will ever want to buy an apartment in a building where the board has an owner thrown into jail?

Reply to comment by threerocks3rox in ‘Major Trustee, Please Prioritize’: How NYU’s E.R. Favors the Rich by goodguyfdny

> Not at nyu but I went to dropoff and wait for my friend to get surgery. Even though it was just sitting around for the whole day, I made sure to dress semi nicely, wear jewelry and makeup and look like someone that can afford a good lawyer even though I was just sitting in the waiting room.

A very wise move. On thosee occasions when I would have to take my late mother to the hospital and I was not dressed in business clothes, I would always leave the head nurse one of my lawyer business cards.

Here's a comment I just found on the nytimes website:

>S.B.

>S.F. Dec. 22

>There should be no Ronald O. Perelman Center for Emergency Services.

>There should be no NYU Langone Medical Center.

>There should be no Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.

>Every last individual with their name on the facade of a hospital because they coughed up millions of dollars should have been TAXED at least that much to pay for those hospitals. Then they can be named after people who devoted their lives to caring for the sick.

This will surely encourage more large donations.

What an idiot!

>A lifeline came from Mr. Langone, the founder of Home Depot and chairman of the hospital’s board of trustees. He and his wife donated $100 million in 2008, matching a contribution they had made eight years earlier. The medical center was renamed NYU Langone.

>Mr. Langone became known not just for his own philanthropy — he donated another $100 million in 2019 — but also his ability to persuade other wealthy New Yorkers to donate. Over the ensuing years, he helped the hospital raise $3 billion.

Man gives $300 million of his own money and helped raise $3 billion but hey, no preferential treatment.

This article sounds very much like a member of the Sulzberger family which owns the Times did not get the right flavor of Jello in the hospital so this hatchet job was ordered.

Reply to Inside the Fight to Pay Food Delivery Workers $23 an Hour by jl2l

>Hildalyn Colón Hernández, the director of policy for Los Deliveristas Unidos, said food delivery workers should be compensated for their time just like other essential workers. “Firefighters don’t just get paid when they have a fire,” she said. “They get paid for the time they are waiting in the firehouse for that call. We’re asking for the same thing.”
