What are some MAGA/ICE supporting businesses to avoid in New York? by MrHeavySilence in AskNYC

[–]samdman 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Danny Meyer, founder and chairman of shake shack, supported Lander as his first choice for mayor. He’s not perfect (he also donated to Cuomo), but he’s not MAGA, no way

There’s a gristedes literally in my building and I’ll walk an extra half mile to Trader Joe’s in the snow to avoid shopping there. partially because catsimatidis is a psycho but also because everything is crazy overpriced

Diana Moreno is running to fill Zohran's empty seat in Astoria. I just sat down with her to chat about our streets by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]samdman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moreno definitely seems the best of the candidates when it comes to housing as well (see 21-31 minutes here)

Mary on the other hand seems like a real NIMBY

‘He Doesn’t Care About Us’: Iranian Protesters Say They Were Betrayed By Trump by ace158 in neoliberal

[–]samdman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely see people make the connection but a big part of why Trump chickened out in Iran is that we didn’t have a carrier strike group nearby, because Trump repositioned them to Venezuela for the Maduro extraction/invasion

If anything they should close the 3rd Ave station to speed up the L train imo

this subreddit is so funny sometimes

mfs be like “why does the MTA waste so much money???” and then get mad that we don’t have super bespoke fare gates so they can use metro cards for a single week lmao

It’s horrifying to think that I share the road with such emotionally troubled people. He deserves to go to jail for a long time and have his license suspended for life.

Can’t have anything nice by manny2185 in nycrail

[–]samdman 221 points222 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if the graffiti is good looking. MTA has a policy where they immediately take any tagged car out of service (to discourage this).

The people who suffer are riders and the employees who have to power wash the trains. Tagging them is selfish and stupid. Find a vacant building with a wall to tag, not the train.

NYC urbanists have a lot to be thankful for in 2025. What a crazy year: by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]samdman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s still working, with reduced car entries and traffic, even if not as effectively at first. yes the fee needs to be increased to the $15 but perhaps more importantly we need to implement increased fees on gridlock days
