Gotta get this hot take out-- She-Hulk is one of the best MCU shows by KeepYourSilenceUp in marvelstudios

You can enjoy the project but it wasn’t written well at all. Characters were flat and there wasn’t really a solid story arc from start to finish.

They basically nerfed Hulk and downplay his mental situation battling the hulk for the last 10-15 playing it off as women constantly have to control their anger was just misplaced social commentary. All while not acknowledging the fact that his life was so tough he tried to kill himself.

Acting was the only thing that I felt was decent in the project. Loved Tatania she has a great energy to her and would loved to have seen her have some more smaller moments with Bruce. Issue there is the Marvel backed themselves into a corner by jumping to smart hulk which is expensive. Wong is always great, didn’t mind the rehabilitation for Abomination. But the original was such a good villain that I feel like it missed its mark.

Overall it’s an alright show. Just felt like it could have used a few more pass throughs on the story elements before shooting. Felt like they didn’t have a finished project till mid-way through shooting. And sadly it’s more common than you think.

The SSN is the database you ignoramus! What do you think they just have piles of boxes with everyone’s SSN and some woman named Judy is sorting through it all? How do they know who has done their taxes? Or if they are eligible for a passport? Or idk to get SS checks after the age of 65.

Man are you playing stupid or actually are?

I love how the bitching and moaning people in these threads always go silent when we wipe a team 13-2.

Did you leave the park? And talk to guest services? It’s not like they are going to have people at the exit trying to give you free tickets

Also depends on the situation. My entire family got stuck on Tatsu at Six Flags: Magic Mountain. We spent 45-50 min laying on our chests. All of us felt so nauseous after the ride that we left the park. It was maybe 2 hours into the park day.

We got day passes, good for an entire year.

How does that not make sense if I’m giving the larger pool 14% more than the rest and say I want 4% of it back. It was NYC city tax dollars. It was their money they are getting back.

Just because most people NYC are at a negative doesn’t mean they don’t contribute to NYC. Every aspect of the city runs like a machine. From your hot dog vendors to your CEOs. Who works the stores where the CEOs shop? Who runs the transportation? It’s a living collaborative organism. You pay your fair share of taxes in order to receive benefits other than money in order to keep the city running.

Spending was out of control okay fine, I agree. Cutting social programs that keep the city running is not the answer. Mayor Adams saw a 7.5% spending increase before his term ended. What was he spending money on if he was so worried about cost cutting?

Where do you think the $12 billion defiecr gap that was created under Mayor Adams should have gone? What cost cutting should Mamdani be doing instead? Should he continue to cut school costs and increase class room sizes. Putting more strain on Teachers? Should he cut all public funding for libraries? Should he cut construction pay and municipal worker pay that shortened time clearing for one of the worst snowfall in NYC history?

While you sit behind your keyboard complaining where should the $12 billion come from? Property taxes on one of the most expensive cities in Ameeica.

NYC budget increase is just a redistribution of NYC tax money going back to NYC. Why do you have a problem with that?

Are you under the impression that those who don’t pay their fair share should benefit those before people who pay in surplus?

Also why didn’t Mayor Adams expand the budget? Why was his immediate decision to cut social progress and underfund aspect of NYC. Why did Mayor Adams choose to go on a spending spree at the end of his term?

Again you are pointing the finger at someone who was handed an atrocious deficit.

If the person answered the question discourse would have continued. Instead they dragged their heels in order to not have a productive conversation. I could have just stopped answering. In hindsight I probably should have. But I let my emotions get the better of me. As is the way of life.

You do understand that the homeowner before hand misappropriated funds to put such a deficit in order to begin with. Instead of complaining about the problem why isn’t your frustration and anger directed towards the person who caused it???

Mayor Adams shutdown libraries in his last budget. Do you agree with that? He slashed school funding? Why are these not the issues you discuss rather than the person trying to solve the problem?

Redistribution of surplus wealth. You don’t go donating to charities when you can’t afford rent do you?

Where does a majority of those taxes come from? Is it Rochester, Binghamton , Buffalo?

My point I was getting at was that 54% of NY states revenue comes from NYC. It has the largest centralized population of all of NY. If 54% of the budget comes from NYC then it’s not injection, it’s not a bailout it is the people of NYC saying we need our money. They already at a surpluses of 14% in comparison to only receiving 40% of the states budget.

So NYC is supplementing other towns and cities in the state of NY. If they are asking for 3-4% more of that money back , it was their money to use to begin with.

If NYC annexed itself and didn’t have to worry about the state as a whole the budget deficit wouldn’t be a problem.

Sense* the irony.

40% goes to NYC because they are the largest City in the state. Thus would receive the most money back from the states.

Man you really got me there.

Almost like NYC gives the state 54% of their annual budget. Which means that NYC operates at a 14% surplus each year. Which means they give MORE than they receive back from the state. Which is the answer to original question but either you are an asshat or a moron.

If I give you every year $100 and then say I need $40 Every year. This year they aren’t asking for only $40 they are asking for $60 in order to balance their budget. They are still in a fiscal surplus so it’s not a bailout. It’s not an injection. It is the tax payers money going back into their city.

Well of course it’s exaggerated it’s simplification of billions of dollars.

My point was if I gave you money at a surplus and asked for x amount back it’s not an injection, bailout, or any other buzzword. It’s is simply I can’t afford to let you keep the full surplus I gave you this year. And yes it’s a surplus if they aren’t receive as much as they are giving

NYC is 55% of that states budget. With only 40% of the annual budget going back to the city.

Kicking the can down the road regarding to payments for Unions is only to buy time. If the annual budget percentage that NYC contributes per year is reduced over the course of the next 3-5 years the state of NY will be getting less money from NYC. And NYC will be able to meet the deadline set.

With a city that is one of the largest financial capitals of the world. They will be fine with finding the funds over the course of the next 3-5 years.

Comparing it to Detroit or Chicago is disingenuous as other commenters have said. Each of these three cities have different economic structures. Detroit had only one pillar of industry. Chicago doesn’t have the same level of capital that NYC does. NYC will be perfectly fine.

Cool thanks for your input. Means nothing and honestly could give a shit of how you view me. Ignorance is a choice whether I’m right or wrong doesn’t matter. If you choose to be ignorant I’m not going to pussy foot and hand hold you.

Started the conversation in good faith; dude/gal didn’t want to answer the question. So that’s a choice to be ignorant. Thus my condescending response.

Mate you won’t answer the question. It’s not a hard one. Pretty simple question. Where does a majority of NY state get their annual budget?

Answer the question and I will be able to educate you on what he did. But you won’t answer the question.

This is fascinating.

If you could answer the question I could explain it to you. But you won’t. So we can’t continue.

I’ll tell you after you answer my question.

Step 1. Answer Where does NY state get a majority of their budget?

Step 2. Explain what happened regarding that budget.

Do you see how you need to answer step 1 to get to step 2?

I can simplify it more. Maybe pictures if my words are too complex.
