Maybe I'm just unlucky but the it seems like any big movie that plays there will have the way more intolerable people at Newport compared to most theaters. Teens texting the whole fucking time a couple rows ahead of you, people talking through the movie, some mouth breather with food that just learned to eat(with their mouth open) right next to you, some dude in the back whose phone rings multiple times, etc.

Reply to comment by bsanchey in NYC comptroller says Adams has ‘exacerbated’ widespread city worker vacancies by mowotlarx
She got it corrected she just had to advocate for herself in a way that I think a lot of people wouldn't. Basically the actual way they do the math to find our final pension changed at some point, so if you were hired before a certain date you kept the old pension calculation but if you were hired after they used a different calculation the made your pension less.
They claimed that because she had a gap in employment that her pension would be calculated with the new lesser calculation, rather than the better calculations from her first job in the early 90's.
So it wasn't that they were negating her time as a para, they were making a claim that because she was re-hired that she was only able to claim benefits with a newer crappier calculation.

I straight up don't trust government pensions moving forward. My mother was a severely underpaid paraprofessional for more than 20 years, then she took a different job that paid far better but wasn't government, but in the last few years she took another government job that pays much more than she did as a paraprofessional. She had to fight with a bunch of admin fucks because they were basically saying that because she went to a private job(for a public institution)for a few years that she would effectively be treated as a new employee and her time building her pension as a para wouldn't count.

On top of that I think that we should increase polices total annual pension/benefit contributions, but every single lawyers fee and lawsuit should be paid out by the police as a whole. When an abusive asshole is costing every other cop their year end bonus they'll whip him into shape really fucking quick.

When private unions protect rapists and murders like police/prison guard unions you'll have a point, but as of now Starbucks unions won't be protecting baristas from murder charges so they aren't even in the same ball park. The only real reason people have problems with these unions isn't because of pay and benefits but because they are shield from prison time for crimes they commit, if police were held accountable then very few people would care.

Water access supersedes land access by law, I think they only have to give 30 minute or an hour notice but most of the time they try to do it not during rush hour and schedule further ahead IIRC. I used to be late periodically because of asshole ships forcing the portal bridge to open and holding up multiple trains full of people. Once the portal bridge got stuck and we were stuck between Newark Broad and Secaucus for 3 hours or so.

I see so few children that are school age in Paulus Hook aside from people coming into St Peter's. I think it's mandatory in Paulus Hook to move to the suburbs the moment your first child hits the age of 5.

The entire system needs massive reform. We need a system that focuses on rehabilitation rather than punitive actions.
Our current system does not provide fair and speedy trial as dictated by the sixth amendment.
Our prisons create worse people and have some of the highest recidivism in the developed world, so clearly it's not working.
44% go back to prison in the first year of release. And then we just blow even more money. The financially smart thing is to try to reduce recidivism by actually helping the prisoners. Less wasted taxes and less victims.

I've said this a dozen times before on this sub, but we need to better fund out court system to actually make it "fair and speedy". We spend more than $1,500 per day for someone to be in Rikers. Even if you are someone who believes in small government the financially intelligent thing to do is better fund our courts so that people get to trial in a timeframe that doesn't ruin their life. The societal, economic, and human cost of putting the average person awaiting trial in prison for 4 months is disastrous.

Coincidentally the CNN article about this spend about a third of it talking about Kanye's Deth con 3. As if it's him not qanon, 3 percenter, oath keeper, etc. dumbfucks that are the actual threat.
