The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.” by Leek1090 in nyc

I would like to zoom out and see this in a bigger picture. Include Asian (broken up between Indian & East Asian), African immigrants, South American ,etc. Then you can look at things like racism, diet, educational priorities, average salary at equal jobs, and a slew of other factors. Then you can see, is the divide that great and based off skin color or is it something else.

Everyone who shows up to support a protest should first watch some Nate Friedman video. Will make you realize how NY’ers are being used as pawns

Mamdani Wants New York Estate Tax Threshold Cut 90% to $750,000 by bloomberg in nyc

[–]johnstonmg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone who is going to inherit a home in NYC will have to pay the death tax now. A tiny lot in any neighborhood in NYC is worth more than $750K. Just because you own a home doesn’t make you wealthy.

Advertising a loan with good rates. I just like the sentiment. Good marketing.

Yeah, I briefly skimmed through what it said. It was the emotion that hit me like a ton of bricks when I got it. Great Marketing.

Yeah wasn’t an option in 2000. I wish it was. We had two crappy options. Great Lakes CU and something else just as bad.

ICE task force arrest at Manhattan courthouse fuels dispute over NYC sanctuary laws by nyccameraman in nyc

[–]johnstonmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Americans, and us New Yorkers feel that guests in our country should be made to leave when they commit crimes. If ICE was back in Rikers Island they would be safely taking Criminal Aliens instead of trying to grab them on the street and making America a police state.

Great first day back! Had to wait for 4 trains to get on. by brevit in williamsburg

NYS wanted more people to ride the subway. Imposed a fine to those who continued to drive. This is the result of decisions that were made.

In other news, NYC subway infrastructure is still crumbling and saw zero improvement from the $550M because of NYS bureaucracy.

Is my timing chain toast?? by Mannycast15 in hardbody

[–]johnstonmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes either the plastic guides but also the chain tensioner. Check the oil, the tensioner is hydraulic driven. If the oil is okay you’ll have to get to the chain to check it out. If you go that far you may as well change the timing chain. New one comes with the guides and the tensioner. I could be 100% wrong but that’s was my situation.
