I'm starting to get legitimately concerned that electricity costs will become a disaster for the state, and it's not getting much attention beyond a few progressives tweeting about it For those that aren't aware, Con Ed bills its customers based on supply costs (how much they pay for power) and delivery costs (their charge for bringing the power to you). Last month, everyone saw their supply cost triple from 6 cents to 18 cents. This month, it's risen from 18 cents to 19 cents. In addition to this, the company is seeking approval to boost their delivery charges by 13.5% this year. Most people saw their bill approximately double last month, and lots of people with electric heat got bills for $500. They seem like outliers, but a lot of individuals claimed to get bills for $700+ So, wtf happens if supply costs don't go down? how many months of $500 electric bills can people take before they're completely hosed? edit: not to mention businesses, restaurants are apparently getting hosed by this even more than residents Polo-Rican has issued a correction as of 20:18 on Feb 17, 2022 |

Supply chain issues are keeping the electricity in shipping containers because nobody wants to work

maybe they shouldn't have shuttered a nuclear plant with no infrastructure investment to make up for the lost energy production

Those patrols will begin on the A,E,1,2 N and R lines, according to NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell, who added an additional 1,000 police officers are already on patrol throughout the system each day.  https://twitter.com/SafetyNetUJC/status/1494730130383646721

From my little view within a City agency: We've lost 25% of our team since 2021. Remaining workers are having to pick up extra work without extra pay. There aren't enough people to do the work needing to be done. There have been no new hires. Eric Adams is culling the workforce by 10k and campaigned on a two year hiring freeze. The proposed austerity budget (still up for negotiation and revision) calls for a 3% reduction in all agency budgets. I don't see how the City continues to function. All talented workers are fleeing and there doesn't seem to be any retention or attraction measures at all.

There are some Olds sticking it out to retirement, most people are doing their side hustles at their desks, everyone keeps getting covid, and there's no transfer of knowledge to future workers happening. A lot of people just kind of walk around the office in a confused daze.

why let the perfidious republican states get all that sick money by exploiting slave labor i mean don't get me wrong the state already exploits slave labor just tell the companies to pay you directly! it's called a fuckin tax!! i guarantee there's some sort of hidden calculation behind the scenes that will disqualify people who are released from social programs based on their nominal pre-garnishment "Wage" while working while incarcerated sorry! You made* too much money** during the last 18 months of your bit to qualify*** for Medicaid^! eat poo poo! *recidivism increases* Gunshow Poophole has issued a correction as of 21:30 on Mar 1, 2022 |

Double posting because an entirely different topic: this is upstate and not even in Albany county, but this story by the Troy Record, Following spate of violent incidents in Troy, Rensselaer County officials call for repeal of bail law, is rich:
And get this one quote:“Many times those arrested are suffering from mental illness, addictions, or other conditions that were able to be identified and addressed during a night in jail. Now, these individuals don’t have a safe place in jail to sober up or detox and get the help they need before returning to the same lifestyle that landed them in jail in the first place. As someone who ran the Rensselaer County Jail, I know first-hand how beneficial a night in jail was for those who needed help getting their lives back on track,” Rensselaer County Legislature Vice Chair Bob Loveridge commented.

almost like when you intentionally dismantle the testing infrastructure and make validation of an array of ncredibly diverse symptoms cost $100+ per check you won't catch as many cases HMM
