Reply to comment by spicytoastaficionado in New York State official climate plan calls for Right to Repair by fanopticon
Look who read just the title of the bill.
The crooks and weasels in the legislature will see to it that the only thing we have a useful right to repair is a 1974 Ford Maverick.

This is an outrage!
Two…nay, THREE months in tennis prison for her. No one is above the law (unless they cut the right politicos in on the action), blah blah blah.

Pensions are guaranteed under the state constitution so they’re pretty much untouchable unless they wind up governed like Detroit for the next 40 years.

The migrants, they don’t get all that much.
The agencies and nonprofits popping up to “serve” migrants make the money.

In other news, NY city and state governments based next year’s budgets on what they thought they’d get in tax revenue.
Expect a 22% increase in driving-while-black tickets.

Reply to TIL that in 1979, a charity special episode of the academic student quiz show "It's Academic" was held between a team of three Democratic U.S. Senators, three Republican U.S. Senators, and three members of the press. The special was handily won by the press team. by FranklinDRoosevelt32
Seriously impressed that the press beat a team with Moynihan on it, but Art Buchwald was a badass

Nope, that’s how it be. All my future selves are increasingly grouchy. It’s Walter Matthaus all the way down.

My future self just sits, drinks, looks at my younger and present selves and says things like “no, no, NO, you DIPSHIT” and “no wonder she dumped you.”

My gay male friends are all 50+ and married. Their risk was as close to zero as mine, but got their shots because they lived through the worst of AIDS, not because they’re going to orgies. They didn’t get to go to those the first time around, either.

And their staffers, they get nada. They get to go screw themselves. They get to figure out how to live on 36K a year. They get to keep worrying about retaliation if some creep assemblyman feels them up.
I don’t want to hear a single lecture ever again from those sanctimonious Albany hacks about how compassionate they are.
This is how you get another Trump, dipshits.
