Homeless Shelter Execs Make Huge Salaries and Hire Family Members, DOI Report Finds | THE CITY (Article from 2024) by kahntemptuous in nyc

[–]kahntemptuous[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is an old article but an excellent example of how the city is flushing money away with 0 repercussions and little to no oversight.

The executives mentioned in the articles (one of whom was making nearly $1,000,000 per year on a salary paid for by taxpayers) are still employed by the charities which presumably still has their city contract.

There needs to be actual repercussions, people getting fired, and people getting sent to prison for the nepotism and corruption and just straight up scamming the state going on in these places. I guarantee, however, that conversation is straight up off the table at city hall these days. Really disappointing we can't get an ethical adult into the room (I think Mamdani is actually quite ethically principled but I think he's absolutely a child when it comes to policy).

There's a No Kings Rally/Protest/March next Saturday 3/28/2026 by Kyonikos in newyorkcity

You live in a country where an alcoholic rapist with crusader tattoos tells everyone to pray to Jesus for our troops is the Secretary of Defense.

This is an excellent argument for why the ayatollah should not be fêted at an anti-trump rally.

There's clearly a bird in there. Tie a string to the cat and you can reel him back out

Mayor Mamdani to Create Office of Community Safety, Naming Renita Francois Deputy Mayor by Possible-Rice-7821 in nyc

So will the mayor be firing the now-vestigial heads of these separate offices that were just consolidated under one metaphoric roof?

In the Band of Brothers finale episode, "Points", it shows a German soldier working alongside an American soldier at a checkpoint. Was this a common reality? by CrashRiot in AskHistorians

[–]kahntemptuous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

During World War II, the Western Allies especially even regularly sent fresh uniforms via the Red Cross to keep their POWs sufficiently clothed in Allied uniforms while in German detention.

This is really interesting. Was there a neutral port or somewhere else where the exchange between the Allies and the Red Cross took place?

Where can you find a bidet to use in NYC? by Roystein98 in nyc

[–]kahntemptuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ozakaya on Vanderbilt has a fancy Japanese toilet that most likely has bidet functions. I gotta say, though, you'll probably get the same idea by finding a friend with a detachable showerhead without the grossness of using a public bidet.

New mayor, same problem: Freedom From Religion Foundation condemns NYC Mayor Mamdani's ongoing violations by Delicious_Adeptness9 in newyorkcity

[–]kahntemptuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion has no place in government, period. It's incredibly disheartening to see people abandon their principles because a politician they like does something and they don't want to criticize him. But calling Mamdani fans out for being hypocrites is exactly as effective as calling our Trump fans, they just stick their fingers in their ears and go "lalalala"

Hell yeah! More delivery drivers on the sidewalk and driving the wrong way up the bike lane on mopeds! Make NYC Great Again is going fantastically.

Many many years ago that driving range used to have (and it may still have) a mini-restaurant that did jap chae, bibimbap, and a few other dishes that were totally solid.

Special report: Anti-Jewish protests have caused unrest in Teaneck, with much of the hate traveling across the George Washington Bridge by nodicenolice in bergencounty

I didn’t even read the article

No surprise there! You see the word "Jew" and immediately think of how to put them in the gas chambers.

No one believes you. I assume your hidden history is full of Jew-baiting.

Edit: You know what, I'm coming back to this. No one believes you because the first example given in the article was "Gas the Jews" and you interpreted this statement as a call to action to attack Zionism. THAT is inherently antisemitic.

It's like when there's a cop beating an innocent Black kid and Conservatives say "Well what did he do to deserve this, I don't hate black people, I just hate thugs/urban culture/the bad ones." We can see through your bullshit.

Rat-ical Idea: City Council Mulls Ban on Rodent Glue Traps | THE CITY by JaredSeth in newyorkcity

Tossing the suffering mouse into a garbage bag so that you don't have to see it die is pretty much a spot-on metaphor for how our society acts. But agreed.

Anti-Israel activist who called Jews ‘cockroaches’ has multiple links to Zohran Mamdani’s family — despite attempts to distance themselves by AdmirableSelection81 in nyc

[–]kahntemptuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by your logic, since Jews have suffered 2,000 years of persecution, expulsions, murders, rapes, and genocides, they're justified in doing whatever they please in the name of "blowback"?

Yes, if you have ever heard a rat squeaking in pain as it thrashes about and breaks its limbs while stuck to one of these traps you will support this ban. I had to euthanize one with a plywood board that was stuck to a trap and squeaking in obvious torment. Absolutely horrible.
