Medicare Advantage isn't Medicare.

Have you looked around NYC lately? There's a new weed store every 2-4 blocks in many neighborhoods. I think their number is too low for the number of illegal shops, to be honest.

One just opened literally across the street from City Hall.

New York fucked this up royally. Either hand out the licenses like candy or good luck shutting down one business every 2-3 blocks in the city through raids.

Do you even know what broken windows is/was? It wasn't referring to white folks in SUVs near police precincts in Brooklyn running red lights and using license plate covers.

Keep going in circles to find a way this isn't the fault of the NYPD.

These are traffic violations, not murders. You think Big Bad Bragg is doing BaiL ReFoRm for people who use fake plates? No. The cops refuse to enforce because most of them don't live here, drive in from elsewhere and have illegal plates on their own cars.

DAs can't do anything if cops don't bother to go out and write tickets and arrest people. Besides, these traffic stops generally aren't criminal charges. The cops are just lazy and negligent.

What role do they play? Please tell us how Alvin Bragg, who you seem to think is the only DA in New York City, stops NYPD from writing traffic tickets and enforcing basic non-criminal traffic laws

If NYPD bothered to try to enforce traffic laws, perhaps by writing tickets at intersections where the worst violations happen, people might be more cognizant of stopping at reds. Things are as bad as they are because NYPD refuses to do their jobs.

A mandatory gift from NYPD brass to staff, costing taxpayers close to a billion dollars annually.

Yea. This is an article that is pulling out examples of what is happening. It's not an internal study giving the stats on how often this select example is being played out. That's how reporting works.

>Needs quantification.

Lol what? You can't believe this could possibly be true?

Ah yes, pretending you support these food programs (when you don't) as a means to spread xenophobic views. Conservatives always play this game. But if not a single migrant was here you'd be replying with how we shouldn't have SNAP programs in the first place.

People who live "at the bottom" in high tax states have a much better shot of getting the public services they need to keep them housed and fed.

And why do you think undereducated people in impoverished red states eat "bad food"? Where do you think most of the food deserts are in this country? Where in this country is access to healthy food, especially for low income people who need food benefits, unavailable? Low tax states that don't take care of their people.

Higher quality of life. Better education. Better health outcomes. More job opportunities. Regardless of what Fox tells you, we are in one of the safest cities and states. You will literally have a longer life in blue states.

Look at the list of states that rank top and bottom of quality of life issues. It's blood red at the bottom of the list for a reason.

Most blue cities and blue states pay most of the taxes that fund and feed the red welfare states. We're just asking that the federal budget and where they send aid reflect that.

>GOP are another type of moron, but at least they (try to) tell you and be honest

Funniest thing I've read all day. Every time a Republican has taken office the national debt has risen out of control. Every time Democrats take back the legislature and presidency we fix the problems that Republicans made with our economy. Anyone who believes Republicans are on the right side of any economic issue are joke, or they are rich or they're onto the belief that one day they could be rich.

You'll find you get exactly what you pay for when you move to Red States with low taxes.

You're not stuck. Pension sucks, pay is low, vesting is only 5 years for the pittance you get. Go ahead. Move away for the low taxes. Byeeeee!

The fact that you think this is a sincere trip and traveling to take PR photos at the border rather than travel around our own City witnessing our problems is valuable is what is embarrassing.

You don't have to wait. You could do that right now!

I bet somebody hands him a giant belt buckle with the "#GetStuffDone" on it.

I'd rather spend money helping human beings attain shelter, food and work in my city than pay for Eric Adams to go on a PR tour, personally.

Cool, so spend more city budget to travel and have your armed goons follow you to Texas so you can get national press. Wonderful use of city funds.

>“It’s a shame that he fluffed [his past],” Nunziato said. “But why are we doing this to him? Because he has an ‘R’ next to his name? It’s all fluff; it’s not real stuff.”

"Fluffed" is a pretty gentle term for lying about literally every aspect of your personal and professional life.

Didn't work with Trump. I think the GOP is immune to embarrassment and shame. They will never ever willingly remove a fellow Republican from the House.

Is this it? Have flash mobs finally died? Are we free?
