  1. I cannot stand this mayor. I blame him for the callousness he emits as a human being.

  2. The collision proves management at the MTA had spent very little time and effort improving and reinvesting back into the system safety systems and for a long time, had gotten away with it until this collision called attention to this deficiency in management. Same thing is going on at Boeing. The management there care about the quantity of planes and the workers at Boeing are pushed to get as many planes out the door. The quality of the planes at Boeing and the quality of safety procedures at the MTA, in a word, suck because sales orders come first, public safety comes second.

  5. Incredible job. EMT life intervention has come a long way from the days when response teams were in paired in twos dressed in white and drove a large Cadillac station wagon for an ambulance. Most of you were not even born then to remember.

  6. The damage is as bad as if the place was bombed in a war, an act of sabotage. East Palestine Ohio is bombed out, but those same effects of war are industrial accidents. Fatalities in industry caused by human or mechanical error because the whole production process is sped up. Norfolk Southern treats commercial rail transportation as a mere form of appearance of the value the trains carry and that Norfolk possesses. Rail is not a direct use-value to them but an indirect one as an exchange-value and money can be made from the whole process of moving goods from point A to B, as fast as possible, recklessly. So there is nothing unintentional about hazards on the job. Its a conscious choice of Norfolk executives to negate (deny) the real useful purpose of rail transportation to a society by making rail a means of exchange. From this conscious decision Norfolk and others like Norfolk make absolutely no effort to make rail safe for employees and communities. All the energy and talent of people they hire and work for them goes into the useful side of rail as a thing to rent out and making safe the side of rail that involves contracts between buyers and sellers of those values contained in rail cars. The lives and safety of workers and communities are of no consequence to this social arrangement when it is the products that get all the attention and humanity gets none.

  7. This mayor is ideal if your in the real estate industry in NYC. Landowners love him but they are not a majority to boost his ratings higher than the number of city residents who hate him. This is a city dominated by landowners...big ones. High rents are used to change the demographics of the city. If they want the poor out of a neighborhood the rents are pushed up by the landowners and the poor leave. This is how neighborhoods get gentrified by people who never lived in the city but are rich enough to move in or can work from home. This mayor lets that happen. If the landowners want a tax depreciation allowance this mayor accommodates them. As long as their properties are under a construction with a work permit and placing scaffolds around buildings is enough to get a permit they can be tax deferred. The buildings having no work done to them but are surrounded by scaffolds are the owners exploiting the government for their purposes and this mayor lets them do that, the City Council lets the landlords do what they want too. Its the most corrupt city on the planet fully dominated by a landowning class. He could win people over if he made an alliance between city manufacturers and retailers who hate the high rents and city residents to push the landowners out of the government but this mayor does not have the mind or the education necessary to wage a war against an encroaching threat. He and his entourage are enriching themselves in the process of selling New Yorkers out!

  9. Awful tragedy, totally unnecessary for the US to not have a kill-free mass transit system. The answer isn’t more cars. The answer is reduce the working day and get these people off the roads doing something else.

  11. Gangs are all over the world, they have become a permanent social class with radical chains in all western societies but are not a class of society. They are a total loss of humanity and will never be redeemed by incarceration. If redemption comes it would have to be a through a total redemption of humanity. Gangs are inter-relating to each other through social media and popular culture in more than 60 nations and they are mobile that a gang there extends all the way over here.

  15. Should be compensated with a modest tax break for cleaning off the more public areas like the hydrant and crosswalks. This way property owners are more content. Don’ take the tree down. Build an incline and a decline with the walk stone over the root.

  21. A tragic act of desperation of a family is an effect of a recession that forces families to live with each other in conditions unsuitable for their co-habitation and with no other resource to be independent and survival is left all up to them they annihilate each other.

  23. Human failure happens when rank and file workers do not fight to keep their workday within natural limits. Keep the bosses out of your workday. Bosses are relentlessly quantifying work at the expense of the quality of work and the Public is endangered. Its all about the numbers to them. But workers take it lying down is a problem. Poor leadership, ignorance or cowardice, I am not sure which is responsible. I do know doing nothing is the most undesirable outcome for workers, not fighting back is your death knell. Overwork rather than real, quality work, will kill you sooner than you need to die! On the other hand, a normal workday and quality work resulting from that workday will increase longevity and you will live to see how your future turns out.

  26. Nihilism, when nothing matters, there is no meaning in life, people lost sight of the value of life decide to take action against living. Nothing behind their eyes, soulless barbarism.

  27. So that makes the working people in three boroughs under attack by three separate departments of the city; the department of transportation’s neglect to solve hit and run accidents in working class neighborhoods in Queens and the department of housing’s neglect of maintenance, repairs, and developments in public housing for Brooklyn’s working class poor. Two assaults that are deliberate. Inside these department the low level managers can do what they want and as people these managers come from a mindset that they are better than the working poor is a disdain for humanity that the mayor of New York enables. A third department of the city, Manhattan Transit Authority, did not fall under the sway of arrogant managers controlling the resources as in the other departments. MTA introduced changes to the subway system that improves its function which is to ensure the working poor in the boroughs can get into the city to do the jobs; but under the same management, the deliberate neglect in housing and transportation, including sanitation given the number of rats, roaches, in boroughs, are conscious attacks on whole working class communities. Fourth would be the neglect of Con Edison of the general water main system known to be over 100 years old and avoided till it cannot be avoided any longer doing the necessary upgrades. The Social inequality in Manhattan is expressed by how obvious the burdens of life always falls on the working poor in city neighborhoods and for those living off the main island and never on the rich elite on the island itself means that working people have to take a more militant stand against these abuses.

  30. The only way to disrupt the policies that keep the world in a state of war and violence is to disrupt the working class. The policy-makers make it very easy for this class to get to work. The policy makers know that work is what makes the powerful and the elite a ruling class. Work is made into an absolute essentiality, creating many jobs, and selling the notion of job creation to the Public is lauded as a positive thing. It all gets really strange when the positive becomes a negative and workers cannot live with out making others richer. That is when they look for answers and typically find it in some weird character appearing out of the woodwork. Elites get nervous at the prospect of someone not of their class moving in on them and do everything possible to remove that person from that spot, forever. Protesters have to provide answers and explanations or they lose the political war against genocide. But for now, Israel herself is doing a fine job of turning the world against her.

  31. The living brother has no reason to live anymore. This is why it is important to put all possible resources into shaping, cultivating, educating the Mind. It’s too expensive to be stupid! Intelligence in the Public is an asset and ignorance is a detriment. We need a new social system that re-prioritizes the means and the ends so people can leave this world in dignity and respect.

  32. All types of characters in the city. Its pathetic of city management that citizen residents need a media corporation program, 7 on your side, the title itself reveals the citizens are all alone in a forest of wolves. But what does it take to get the city management and maintenance to do their jobs? For what do you pay city taxes? A city is more than a place where garbage has to be collected. Imagine a political party taking power on the promise the eradicate all injustices but can’t fix a sidewalk and cannot eradicate an injustice at the same time, how totally absurd would that party or candidate would be...well, that is what is happening in city government!

  33. Good driver ed material, this is an extreme example of the common mistake driver’s do. The SUV driver did not look over their left shoulder for the blind spot the fire truck drove into. Driver’s fail every time at parallel parking for the same reasons.

  34. When authorities are helpless to prevent crimes is when communities have in the past taken matters into their own hands and formed vigilante groups. One case in a village in Mexico residents organized a militia to battle corrupt police and drug cartel gangsters invading their town. They armed themselves because the gangsters and cops were armed shooting at each other. Other communities do not have be armed to be vigilant. Mass intervention would root out the a criminal element if enough people confront a suspicious character and give them two choices, turn themselves into authorities, or face intense social pressure they disappear. Residents have to form their own civil guard and rotate citizen/resident patrol groups of five parent individuals never any number less than five people together staggered around the clock, self-policing the neighborhood, ARMS Not Necessary, pepper spray is enough and cell phone, apprehend a person when ready and needed, be witness to an incident, or hold for police. Criminal elements will get the message they can’t do that here. What other choice do you have when all systems fail to protect and give you security is the question?

  36. This is one case where I can say the baby has a chance at a good life without them but I am not hopeful because the two ‘clowns’ that fought are the offspring of other ‘clowns’ who raised them. Good luck to you child you lost your natural family before you could complete a full sentence in your vocabulary. America is not a place for children. Its a place where you work till you die.

  37. This new definition makes vulnerable to prosecution the millions of people who live in places without leases but as tenant producers do something for the landlord in exchange for rent or less rent and for month to month renters who gave deposits but have no lease, can be treated as vagrants, and if prosecuted hauled off to jail. Millions of Americans go on a handshake basis, sublease and rent rooms in houses without leases, a hidden social contract between buyer and seller that guides them can be criminalized. The law needs a document as 30 day proof of residency.

  39. There is a class of people in Congress who profit from gun violence in America and they are perfectly okay with profiting on aimless crimes, the pain they cause is a direct result of the profit schemes they make, it is this class that is responsible, this class that must go!

  40. Landlords as a social class were outlawed in the USSR in 1917, the same with Usury by banks, that to this day even under Putin, a landowning class has not emerged but for a few in Russian cities and these are limited to commercial properties like, industry, malls, hotels, etc.. But where people live rents are proportional to the building maintenance costs, if it’s a small building, rents are low, a larger building; rents are larger. Most Russians have no idea what a mortgage is. But here in America, a landowning class is huge and public and private debt is high as a result. In turn, taxes rise, endlessly spiraling higher and higher. They are an aristocracy of land owners, very powerful and the biggest of them are the leadership of the Senate. All senior Senators are large land owners with controlling interest in rents. Trump is a landowner. Jared Kushner is a landowner. Why these types are popular with Americans are for reasons that are ideological not for reasons that are pragmatic and practical because these men are not interested in being kind to renters, they are in business to make Capital. Of 332 million people who live in America more than half of them live on land that is not their own. NYC is a microcosm for the nation. All who work in the city work on the property of others is the same for the nation. Nobody in America that is not a part of this class works on land that is their own for their own subsistence, some bought land in remote places for homesteaded free of landowners, (a bank holding a mortgage is a landowner until paid off) and make products they can sell for additional income except for a collection of heirs to a property paid off by their parents or grandparents. And among this group, very few actually work the land for their own subsistence and livelihood.

  45. If your entire economy depends on it is rather stupid to not have the original land phone service nationwide in place. Especially when the infrastructure was already built. Stupid America. This will happen repetitively because there isn’t a national service for internet in America. This technology is in the hands of a collection of private corporations who when they compete they degrade the quality of the technology itself. It serves them only as a value to be transferred to the product for sale. The cheaper they go the tech itself is not worth a dam for society. Not to mention everything is random, chaotic, out of order, out of proportion, mismatched, misidentified, under qualified and over efficient. America has become a psychotic nation under a despotic collection of corporations, that it cannot even function as a society, and the bureaucracy it has created for a government is so far removed from the original meaning of governing a society it can’t anymore.

  50. How do you know which skill is more productive than another when all skills are reduced to average work time in their compensation? All skills are used in one step of a three step process that the corporation is able to capitalize on production and then accrue $20 bn in profits from sales. Auto workers are obviously not an equal partner with the corporation in the production phase as they were before in the negotiating stage with the corporation. They were equal as seller and buyer and they exchanged agreements but they come out as unequal partners in the production phase where skills are used to create $20 bn in product in anticipation of its sale. Value is added to the investment. The corporation wins the value the workers lose in the value they made in the finished product. Seems to me the right way to resolve this inequality is for all skills own a share of the finished product and 51% ownership of the factories to prevent plants from ever leaving the country. The wrong thing for labor to do is what the Biden administration wants them to do, a contract settlement in the old fashioned way it is just a job not a career and no change in Labor as the unequal partner to the corporation in production. @ripperwrestling6587
