This is the first result when I google Rockland County  Also LOL if you think highest income county means you've got enough revenue to prop up the rest of Upstate. How are you going to stanch the bleeding of population? You know New York is going to lose Congressional Districts over this in 2020, right? Guess where those districts are.

"What if I still worked in NYC and paid NYC income and congestion taxes, but those revenues never went to me because I'm in a different state now?" - an absolute genius from Rockland County.

Absurd Alhazred posted:This is the first result when I google Rockland County Yeah, so, political corruption, various forms of fraud, and street chemistry entrepreneurship are the leading industries left off of the glowing reports. "Inland Long Island" was rejected from tourism board meetings, so sappy rose colored glasses are what was adopted. What of it? (No one really wants Rockland County. Cut it off from everything and have it become it's own duchy or US protectorate or whatever the hell Guam is.)

So this Twitter account seems to have appeared recently and has a promoted tweet I keep seeing: Found this on their feed: https://twitter.com/400Foundation/status/1100531198248579072 Apparently they're opposed to expansion of the "prevailing wage" mandate which will effectively lock out non-union workers. That's a union-busting campaign, right?

don't forget that Rockland County also has Kiryas Joel and the town with the school board dominated by people in that cult, as well as an independent-league ballpark that was built because of corrupt dealings

it feels like the subway has had slightly better service in the past year or so. the weekend repairs are more ridiculous, though. the F train pretty consistently doesn't run in southern Brooklyn on the weekends because of maintenance in other news, the Assembly might pass on some of the more ambitious stuff floating around in the Senate. i have a bad feeling about the next couple of months get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 00:26 on Mar 9, 2019 |

its been a while since the last morning with half hour waits between 4 trains but its taking me like an hour to get home vs 25 mins cause they are running with constant stoppages in the bronx for some reason. like there must be some issue knitting 4 and 5 traffic together cause every 4 has to wait at 161 for 10 mins which causes the ones behind them to wait so they dont pile up, etc.

Is it a standard thing for local public radio (rather than NPR) to have chuds on all the time? WAMC keeps giving solo airtime to conservative think tanks who push some real steamers: https://www.wamc.org/post/bryan-griffin-tackling-national-debt https://www.wamc.org/post/bryan-griffin-difference-between-good-and-what-feels-good

What the hell? WAMC was my NPR station growing up and I don't remember that kind of poo poo at all. But I haven't listened in years since I moved away. Set Alan Chartock and his banjo on them and fix this miscarriage of radio justice.

That's very, very sad to hear. I used to really love WAMC and would donate what I could even when I was a broke-rear end college kid. Any idea what changed? I listened most of my life, but they're stationed way up north in god drat Albany and those people are weird so I don't know what goes on there.
