Ups_rail posted:Can you as a local explain why that is? Sure! I'm not a local anymore but I lived there for 10 years and my fiancé is born and raised in Queens. We don't expect trains to have cameras because a majority of them are still the older model. In the last decade there was a big push to upgrade many trains but of course the uh, more gentrified train lines got the upgraded newer train cars first. There was not a lot of media attention on if these cars had cameras, and whenever there is an incident, the mention of cameras seems to always be absent, so many of us assume the cars do not have cameras at all. I would need to do some heavy research on this, so it's just a "feeling" shared among my local friends I've talked to. Looking at the footage, this was one of the older cars. You can tell based on the line patterns on the side of the train cars, the windows, and the doors. This was an old orange/red seats train car and not a newer blue seats train car. Sorry if that's not very technical! We do expect the stations to have cameras but well, no one is really surprised the station cameras weren't working. Like Timeless Appeal just mentioned, this is a station in Sunset Park, which is not very white, on a train line that's not very white. Anyone else remember back in like 2005 when there was a SURPLUS of funds for the MTA? Remember the strike over it? It's comical how inept the governance around the MTA can be. Did you know the governor controls the authority of the MTA, not the mayor? SIGH. edit: spelling sorry, a second edit: I went back and read the article linked (took me a bit, thanks awful nytimes paywall!) and it doesn't mention train cameras anywhere. I'm pretty sure those older model trains just flat out don't have them. In fact, I went and did some googling and they outright cancelled the latest round camera tests they had going on after it turned it out the supplier had links to the Chinese government. https://jalopnik.com/nyc-ends-subway-camera-test-after-learning-of-suppliers-1846751771 Everything else I can see through searching indicates there's no cameras on the trains, including the newer models. The last article I can find where there was a plan to do this was in 2014 by a couple sources, including this one. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2014/07/05/nyc-weighs-putting-surveillance-cameras-on-subways/11536763/ So, effectively, it's safe to say the train cars themselves don't have cameras, especially the older models.

Kathy Hochul claims another head. (This was a federal charge, he was doing it before Hochul became Governor, and Hochul had nothing to do with it. But, it is wild that Hochul was picked by Cuomo as a way to shore up his upstate creds and have a woman on the ticket who didn't have plans to be Governor soon. And now, Hochul was involved in throwing Cuomo out, all of her biggest primary competitors ended up dropping out or having something happen to them, and now the Lt. Gov who wasn't her preferred option is gone and she can appoint someone that she wants right before running for re-election.) Hochul is basically having a House of Cards style improbable rise to the top. I'm pretty sure that she didn't expose Cuomo, threaten Leticia Wright's family, sabotage Bill DeBlasio's campaign, blackmail Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and narc on Brian Benjamin to the Feds as part of an 8-year long master plan. But, I can't prove that she didn't either. https://twitter.com/JonCampbellNY/status/1513989326278991877

Seems like the Biden administration has come up with some new messaging on inflation. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1513989086947721221 I'm not shocked they tried to pin the blame on Russia, but the phrase "Putin Price Hike" is gonna get old so fast, and I seriously doubt that any of the people getting hit by inflation cares whose fault the price rises are anyway. I guess it's a good chance to see how much reach the Dem messaging machine these days, since "Putin Price Hike" is so obviously trying to force a narrative.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’ve seen concern that we still aren’t feeling the effects of China locking down and that it’s going to just make everything worse soon Yes it should make things worse. Last I saw there was something like 500+ ships waiting in Shanghai. Europe is starting to backup again. Long term shipping freight contracts are also rising in price again which is not good. The oil reserve release did give the Inventories a crude surplus, but surprise they did not ease the ongoing shortages of gasoline and diesel. https://twitter.com/LiveSquawk/status/1514249814363492356?t=I7l-rhrv-SkOQ37u18Xfpw&s=19 Frankly we have 2 ways forward to unfuck inflation. This is coincidentally one of the Feds mandates. One way is fixing the supply chains which the solution for keeps getting pushed back. I think it is summer 2023 has the current estimate for "return to normal". Plus the fed cant actually do anything about that. The other way to fix inflation is something the fed can do which is "demand destruction". What is "demand destruction"? Well, "demand destruction" is when you cause the consumer to stop consuming so less goods are needed to be produced, less energy used, less leverage for employees to get higher pay. Now how can can you cause this to happen if you are the Fed? Recession. So the Federal Reserve has to cause a recession to stop inflation. They claim they will do a "soft landing", but this is just weasel for "not as much value loss to the top." Oh and inflation only really became a "problem" for the fed when it was discovered that wages were starting to rise in response. See it is ok when high inflation is happening because revenue and profits become all time highs which is good! When workers want higher pay because of the inflation this is bad! Luckily the increasing wages are being outpaced by the inflation which gives workers more incentive to demand higher wages which increases costs to the producer so they have to roll that to the consumer who need more money to pay for the goods so the consumer tells their boss they need higher wages. It is a spiral that needed to be avoided. It wasn't. Anyway we are probably in a kinds stagflationary period at the moment. This was the worst possible outcome.

The thing about suing and finger wagging is that it doesn't remove any of the guilty parties from power, and eventually they'll just start ignoring the requests, HHS funding be damned. When Republicans are back in power in 2 years, there won't be any mechanism to stop this. Worst case it goes to the conservative Supreme Court where they decide "actually we think that stealing trans kids is perfectly constitutional".
