shipscode··on New York approves the first congestion toll in the US: $15 to enter Manhattan
Ya, you just described any low margin business in downtown Manhattan. Maybe they can “afford” it but swiping $450/month from them is bs when they’re literally running the city.

Yes, this is literally what they’re achieving. It’s incredible that so many people on here don’t see it, but my guess is cause they’ve never actually looked into the people they’re displacing and negatively affecting.

More people can fit in a truck than in a car?

Because the public by and large doesn’t enjoy public transit?

Yes lived, parked and drove in downtown NYC for 6 years. 4/5 people parking on the streets own or work in local businesses. Throwing a $350-$450/mo congestion tax their way is bs. They’re keeping the city running with their vehicles, not hurting it.

$50k in NYC is nothing. $350-$450 month in tolls is enough to break households that pull in way more than that.

1. Numbers are close enough to correct

2. This is no longer true, the plan is tolling individuals driving into that area 24 hours a day, and from 5AM-9PM at the full rate.

5. Just because Manhattan has public transit doesn’t mean they’re coming from a neighborhood with accessible public transit. Converting a short drive into a 2 hour each way trip is wrong no matter how poor the person.

Go hang out on any village street during street parking hours and tell them they aren’t working class to their face.

Which still doesn’t efficiently serve the outerboros? Why should they have to spend 2 hours in a train each way instead of 45 mins in a car?

Status Quo seems to be working just fine?

This idiocy will only hurt the working class employees who drive in from the outerboros.

shipscode··on X Won't Demonetize Russell Brand, the Company Tells Pro-Censorship British MPs
What's the likelihood that pharmaceutical companies paid his accusers due to his anti-pharmaceutical media appearances? The timing is extremely coincidental.
shipscode··on Sergey Brin's airship gets FAA clearance
I doubt society cares that much about MRIs seeing how wasteful they are when used for preventative care. I’ve personally witnessed people get 5 MRIs to diagnose a health condition and still come up short.

I’d rather we let Sergei fly his balloon. Maybe if we run out of helium doctors can go back to working instead of helping their imaging partners make bank on MRI machines.

How does that explain nonprofit salaries being trash though? I haven’t seen any that have kept up with inflation, hardly for-profit orgs have.
shipscode··on Fewer Californians are moving to Texas, but more are going to FL and AZ
How? Aren’t most malls in TX still deploying gun dogs and posting the gun free zone signs that hold the force of a felony?
shipscode··on Pope Francis encourages more children to code, especially in Catholic countries
If the JS community keeps up the current vibes plenty of engineers will come to Jesus on their own. Lots of Pharisee and Sadducee energy out there on twitter & stackoverflow. If you read the Gospel of Mark and read up on how Jesus bopped the thought leaders in his community at the time you’ll see lots of parallels.

The time is right for devs to work for free? Seems unlikely..
shipscode··on Fewer Californians are moving to Texas, but more are going to FL and AZ
Makes sense since Texas is akin to California with regards to restrictions where you can carry a firearm. Namely gun free zone signs carrying the force of a felony preventing carry pretty much anywhere slightly urbanized. In for a penny, in for a pound as they say. FL and AZ are far less punitive in this regard.
