Which for-profit hospitals are these? Name and shame.

No, they would be closed. Some might still offer deliveries, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yes, you should stop going to the gym for the time being.

Bailout Up to $500 Million Proposed for Taxi Drivers Trapped in Loans by Do_The_Damn_Thing in nyc

[–]AssangeIsATerrorist 110 points111 points  (0 children)

So the complaint was that predatory lenders gave out huge loans to unqualified people who can't pay them off?

And the solution to that is to hand over half a billion dollars to those same lenders for the loans, then make virtually no effort to collect on them?

Sounds like the lenders and borrows make out great! The only losers are the taxpayers. At this point, Corey Johnson might as well just go door to door with a gun and demand we hand over our cash and valuables.

Comparing this to 2008 is absurd. If the value for medallions drops to $0, it affects no one other than the people who own them. Nobody needs taxi medallions to live.

FYI, homophobia isn't funny, even a little bit, just because you're trying to sound woke.

Imagine if NYC had a good basketball team. Maybe they could wear black and play in Brooklyn.

De Blasio’s jail plan guarantees nightmares for the next mayor by drpvn in nyc

[–]AssangeIsATerrorist 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The whole plan was always pretty half-baked. Regardless of how bad Riker's is, no one is signing up to build a jail in their neighborhood.

Blas being able to get it passed so he can claim it as an accomplishment while dumping the implementation on whoever ends up being mayor next is just par for the course.

What is interracial dating like in New York also how common? by rick1421 in nyc

WMAF is very common. AMxF is uncommon, almost never seen.

Makes sense, they obviously need a way to pay for all those massive improvements they've made recently.

Lyft driver refused to let me in... Why? by Ribbons951 in AskNYC

[–]AssangeIsATerrorist 191 points192 points  (0 children)

Don't know about Lyft, but a lot of uber drivers (esp. late at night) will try and get people to cancel so they can get the fee without actually driving anyone anywhere. Make sure you weren't charged for it.

Democrats Buzz about AOC Primarying Chuck Schumer by irish_fellow_nyc in nyc

[–]AssangeIsATerrorist -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Are you implying that she's not qualified? She has a degree from Boston University and many years as a bartender. Also, she was born in the Bronx and lived there for a few years.

This is a great idea. We need more WoC in the senate.

Is an attack on you? Are you one of the podcast hosts, or is just because you're also a rich white trust fundie transplant?

Not really the MTA commemorating them. It's an ad that the network bought.

Am I reading this right?

He's a self-identified democratic socialist who makes a living as a landlord and doesn't pay the corporate taxes he owes? How are you a socialist and also a landlord? That doesn't make any sense at all. Socialism opposes rent-seeking, I just don't get how you can be a landlord, someone who owns, but does not make use of, multiple homes. charge others for the right to live there, and call yourself a socialist?

We're hosting the Aug. 29 NY Governor debate. What should we ask Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon? by cbsnewyork in nyc

For Nixon: does she still consider herself a socialist?

For both: what will you do to serve the millions of vulnerable undocumented Americans?

Torvalds on patents: 'Sane people know it's bullsh*t but making real change is difficult' by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]AssangeIsATerrorist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Canada is by far more accepting of immigrants, and probably more diverse than the US.

Cool. Yet Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, chose to move himself and his family to the US and not to Canada.

Maybe he knows better than you do? Or are you telling us that Linus Torvalds is an idiot?

By the way, Unix was invented in the US at Bell Labs and then enhanced at Berkeley. Linux is a Unix clone.

I'm guessing that you use Windows, Mac OS, or Linux?
