You know, normally I ignore blatant personal attacks on myself, but that one is just too obvious. I wouldn’t figure an ivy leaguer to give the easy ones away.
No infraction though because I prefer to say this: I’m not jealous of people like you. I appreciate you for picking up the burden of my pension, especially after the major boost provided by a group of people who certainly aren’t paying their share! Without people like you, I’d still be working full time. Eff that.
Watch the scary times that’s in our future - digital ID systems embedded in us- analysis of the World Economic Forum and the future they hold for the world:
I think NYC voting is rigged. I don't understand how people keep voting for the same incompetent people.
That isn't the issue. Most people don't vote, but NYC is heavily Democrat, so you would need all Republicans to turn out, LOTS of Democrats to stay home AND some Democrats voting for a Republican to get a Republican mayor elected. This forum has some conservative voters, but they aren't representative of all of NYC.

the first time mayor bill bozo was elected there was barely no one at the poll where I voted at peak time for voting it is usually crowded for a major elections like for mayor.
Mayor Eric Adams is expected to announce Friday that restaurants and other indoor venues no longer have to check guests’ COVID vaccination status — prompting jubilation from much of the dining industry.
Yet some proprietors are deciding to keep a vaccine mandate in place, or thinking about it, while remaining unsure of how their customers will react no matter which course they choose.
Before Adams declared last weekend that he expects to lift the Key2NYC vaccine passport mandate, Jeremy Wladis was leaning toward continuing to check customers’ status at his Upper West Side restaurants, which include Good Enough to Eat and Harvest Kitchen.
“I was to the point where I said, you know, I’m going to probably keep it alive for a while and see how people feel because my personal opinion and my professional opinion is, our civic duty was to go out and get vaccinated. And I still believe it’s the case,” said Wladis, the president of The Restaurant Group.
But the steady decline of new infections coupled with the drop in deaths from the virus, has Wladis rethinking his decision. On the Upper West Side, more than 85% of adults are fully vaccinated, and Wladis said patrons tout their vaccination cards “as a badge of honor.”
“From our standpoint we’re happy to do it,” he added. “I’m gonna talk to my team and ask anybody if they feel that there’s any negativity either way and ask them their thoughts.”
Watching NY1 right now, Adams is holding a press conference and the mayor is going to lift indoor mask mandate for schools. And I think, lift the vaccine requirement for indoors. He will lift vaccine mandate to key2nyc venues (whatever that is). It's too early to provide a link.
That means business owners at indoor establishments like bars, restaurants and gyms will no longer need to check patrons’ vaccine status before they enter. Businesses can still use their discretion, but the government mandate will no longer be in place, Adams said.
