Corporal punishment never works. Especially under 12. There is literally ZERO evidence that hitting a kid is effective in changing bad behavior. There is evidence that corporal punishment makes bad behaviors worse. It's exhausting that this even needs to be discussed in 2023.

This really serves to highlight how backwards, abusive and corrupt some yeshivas are and have been allowed to be. Pass the law.

No.

No, they doxxed her. They leaked her private information to the SBA that then put it on Twitter.

>I bet you thought that sounds smart.

It is smart, actually. And funny. A+ comment.

Mmk. Were the people the NYPD kettled being violent? No. Hence the settlement. Read the article.

>New York City has agreed to pay $21,500 to each of hundreds of demonstrators who were penned in by the police in the Bronx during racial justice protests in 2020, then charged at or beaten with batons, according to a legal settlement.

>If a judge approves the settlement filed in federal court late Tuesday, the amount would be one of the highest ever awarded per person in a class action case of mass arrests, and could cost the city between $4 million and $6 million.

>The case concerned roughly 300 people who were arrested on June 4, 2020, in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx during protests against the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers the week before. His death set off protests across the country, including in New York, where thousands of people demonstrated in May and June.

That was my first link. RIP New York Wheel. I'm positive that thing would have detached and rolled into the Bay. I remember their big plan to project video and lights onto the wheel, so at minimum it would have been a massive spinning billboard for penis pills and spiked seltzer if it was made.

Remote work isn't a fringe benefit. If we're playing this "everything is the same" game, give every office worker overtime eligibility.

Or, if they really want to work remotely they should change professions.

I remember the last time billionaire developers tried to build a Ferris Wheel in NYC surrounded by commercial and entertainment development.

I also remember this similar venture, also featuring an artistic central attraction surrounded by entertainment and commercial development

But by all means let try this again.

Wanting cash because they are angry that their physical labor job they chose doesn't allow them to work remotely is ridiculous. Ask for more $$ because you deserve it, but demanding it because their work can't be remote is childish. And the only people egging on this apples to oranges garage are the bosses.

>anti-worker

It's anti-worker to pretend all jobs need to be equalized in this very silly way. What the administration is actually doing here by setting up this ridiculous comparison between different kinds of jobs, is pitting workers against each other hoping they won't look up top. That is anti-worker. Different jobs are different. Why are we sitting here pretending they aren't? Blue collar city jobs have always had overtime options that administrative workers never had. This "equalizing" has already occurred because of that.

Why? Different jobs are different. If you chose to be an electrician or a contractor instead of someone who works primarily on a computer and phone why should you get a special gift in salary (when you already get overtime that most office workers don't get) because you obviously can't work remotely? The city shouldn't be setting wage expectations based on the possibility of sour grapes.

>Remote work will draw NYC salaries down and low wage places up. There will be a national salary for a lot of jobs

You say that as if remote work hasn't been the rule for the past 3 years. This isn't theoretical anymore we've already seen it in action and this didn't happen.

I guess we'll just (checks notes) round up all of the homeless people in the city and "disappear" them so then we can install public bathrooms. Sounds like a great final solution you have there.

>The five Portland Loo toilets, made by an Oregon-based metal firm, cost roughly $185,000 each, according to a Parks Department spokesperson. 

>But the overall budget to buy and install five Portland Loos, in one pilot location in each borough, starting as early as summer 2024, could reach as much as $5.3 million. 

It's $185k to buy. The rest is the operation and maintenance. They need to run electric and plumbing to them.

You'd rather people shit and piss on the street?

It's funny because the "solution" companies have come up with is to have "hotel" desks where you not only still work in a cubicle farm, but you share an empty desk with other staffers on your off days.

Lucky for them, the city is cutting corners in enforcement left and right thanks to Eric Adams. They'd be fine trying out whatever they want and crossing their fingers.

Us: Maybe you could lure back some tenants by reducing the rents and cutting the offices into smaller sections to attract small businesses!

Them: NO. ERIC ADAMS, GO INSULT REMOTE AND HYBRID WORKERS UNTIL THEY COME BACK AND EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS IT WAS IN 2019!!

Yes, I read it. And it's almost as if we had a pandemic since these were first proposed and inflation has been nuts, in addition to supply chain issues. Oh, also we got a new mayor with new priorities and new Commissioners in every agency. Of course it was delayed. Of course it costs more now.

>when one of them angrily called and asked why the firm wasn’t providing the potties.

Who called? An elected official? Someone at NYC Parks? This anecdote doesn't mean anything unless they specify that the agency managing and buying the Loos made the call. And based on the fact that he didn't say an official at NYC Parks, I bet some slack jawed City Council member or Borough President called. As a rule, they don't know anything except when the next public event with a podium will be.

Look forward to everyone being angry about these bathrooms that have been demanded to be put into city parks for years.

PUT IN MORE BATHROOMS. NO, NOT LIKE THAT!

Other cities with even worse issues with homeless populations have successfully implemented these bathrooms. There's nothing so special about NYC that they wouldn't work here. What is unique is our stubbornness and inability to try.

Parks.

Most food spots still close at 4pm/5pm in FiDi. It's still a ghost town after the 9-5. The businesses here refuse to adapt and make an attempt to service the few people who actually live here.
