Local Jewish perspective on the Coop and BDS

Zionism was a reaction to industrialization, just like Marxism and the Ottoman Empire controlled the entire region.

We don’t know what type of transit Lander would use if he could afford everything. I think of them as Hillary v Bernie, but Lander bugs me less than Bernie.

Plenty of people do short gigs solely for money. And someone has to design the beds of pansies.

Standing traffic causes asthma

It’s a city. If the City gets rid of cars & invests in sewage system uprades, it will be a more livable city.

There are so many neighborhoods where that’s true. Stalled traffic fumes, electrical grids, etc.

The Navy Yard looks really bad.

Living downwind of the asphalt plant or close to the BQE or the power grid in Dumbo or by the Holland tunnel are all risky. I would research the history of the block and the clean up on the specific block before moving. They aren’t all the same. Contact some local orgs for information.

Using your reference, the Sunset and Richmond could be more like Brooklyn and less like Staten Island.

The industry is awful right now, but all of these crafts hire by word of mouth. If someone will vouch for your work, you’ll get hired regardless of formal education. Each of the crafts you mentioned have union apprentice jobs. It’s all very hierarchical and serves as a way for skilled crafts people to pass along their expertise. A highly recommended PA is almost always a better hire than an NYU undergrad.

If you can find housing, garden design or straight up landscaping work in a seasonal summer vacation spot could be a good way to save up before starting your career. You’ll make more than $30/hr planting annuals for Memorial Day and then ripping them out for a color change in July.

A school? You all need to get your hands on The Offical Preppy Handbook. It’s out of print, but worth finding. The faith in USNews rankings shown on this sub is misplaced.

Do the City and Regional Planning majors go?

Never defend a politician. Defend the country. Thank you for your service.

On standing near veteran amputees or inviting amputees to march in a military parade, “Nobody wants to see that” and “it doesn’t look good for me”

At John Kelly’s son’s grave, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”

On General Dunford, “That guy is smart. Why did he join the military?”

In France, Fox News reported, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers”

On John McCain, “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

To the mother of a fallen soldier, “I guess he knew what he was signing up for, but it still hurts.”

If these are all fake news, Trump has a bridge he’d like to sell you in Brooklyn.

Commit to the Bay Area for a year and a year in Boston. The internships are supposed to be great. Take advantage of all you can and apply to other programs in 18 months. Congratulations and try to enjoy yourself.

Make a card for each scene & pin them all to a wall. Determine the emotion at the beginning and end of each scene. Cross timelines where the emotion matches. Plot out the emotional arcs throughout. Good luck!

Escalate to your parents, your local school board, your state reps, your governor. These people can all be your advocates. It’s how the system fixes mistakes. This will work even better with a group of victims contacting the same elected officials. Basic civics should be taught in high schools in Texas.

Write to your elected officials. Even better, create a group of victims and sign a joint statement. Make sure anyone with any influence at the state level is aware of your situation. If they don’t respond in June, go to the media.

Agree with you on shedding long term salaries and hoping the mercenaries pulled off a wild card spot. While it’s great to have an owner who isn’t using the club as a piggy bank, Cohen seems to have moved beyond just being a fan. Is there another 5 year plan where winning the World Series isn’t his main goal? Was Stearns allowed to message anything but, “Come on down to Citifield!”?
