Is QOL the same after a pandemic killed 1 in 1000 new yorkers? After a pandemic injured, mentally and physically, millions more?

No fucking shit QOL has changed.

And im waiting for a subway right now. Service sucks. 20 min wait in middle of day. Service interruptions like crazy.

The solution isn't to hand power to democracy denying, trickle down lying, fuckheads.

You wanna vent, vent. You wanna blame Dems? Fuck right off with that propaganda. Bail reform is NOT why we have crime uptick.

Mental health has gotten worse, nationwide. Partly cause one party decided to make a fucking pandemic a political issue.

Do you know the difference between an anecdote and data?

If I got mugged in 2014, but not in 2020, does my experience mean 2014 was less safe?

There's such a thing as bad luck.

Would stories of bad things happening in 2019, exactly like what you had happen to you, be meaningful to you?

I suspect in 2019 you simply didn't hear about the crime as much.

When something is on the mind, the mind is more likely to spot it and remember it.

The people who got attacked in 2019 remember it. You weren't one of them. good, glad to hear that

You were someone who got harassed in 2022. That sucks, im sorry to hear it.

Your belief that the GOP would change things is misleading. The highest crime states are red states. Zeldin would make shit worse.

JFC that article cites the vaccination as a factor in reducing the death rate

FFS

Remove the vax and tell me comparable death rates

Which, ya known, are what we got in the first year of pandemic.

We mandated the vax because WITHOUT IT we are looking at another million dead in another few years.
