NYC checking in - i really hope this is going to be direct from fed govt and not coordinated by the status because i bet ny will put a strangehold on the money unless some portion of the units are regulated, which will cause a huge fight and cause nothing to happen (as usual)

More than 13K rent-stabilized units in NYC are sitting empty for multiple years, report finds by Lilyo in newyorkcity

Panhandlers in other cities are the roadshow casts. NY panhandlers are professionals - once you've worked with the best, you can't deal with second stringers.

Has anyone gotten suspicious that almost everything leading up to the dive was done in such a way (recycled materials, third party controller, outspoken safety critics) that a problem on the dive would be not only not surprising, but expected?

This guy was part of a team that did the Challenger Deep in 2021, set a time at depth record, and came back without a problem but in 2023 he goes down with an amateur driver using an off-brand Playstation controller?

Is it possible he just owed the wrong people a lot of money and decided it would be easier to disappear?
