It’s worse than that, I travel to nyc all the time. I grew up in the city and see it for what it has become, a train wreck. I do not want it to fail but facts never lie, and no matter how much people hope it’s not a plan. The streets are filthy, stores empty shop lifting out of control. At least once a week some poor soul shoved in front of a subway. It pains me, the city I love is gone and I fear it’s never coming back.
Nope. I don't think I state that either, since I am well aware there is not good in all. I guess its pretty much worthless to yet again mention about the non crime I observed and experience for my wanderings around the streets and subways, for when I was there and where I wandered.
We are not talking about one person making very limited observations, we are talking about real hard facts. That’s the difference.
Lots of streets are indeed filthy for even even where I wandered/visited, and lots of the subway entrances are even worse. Certainly not pretty in some places and even where the tourists have no choice but to have to traverse. However, didn't really see/experience any crime and didn't feel like I was about to be a victim.
Read above
I was there for almost a full week, out on the streets and using the subway everyday. I am sure if I just stood still and watched/observed from a street corner for the entire day I would have seen something, it probably would have been attracted to me. Like I said earlier, I kept aware of my surroundings and what was around me at all times, kept moving, didn't put myself and the others I was with into situations to get in trouble (I assume everyone does that where ever they are unless they are at their home) and I didn't come across any dumpster fires or get caught in any cross fires.
Hey I am sure it's not the best. I certainly wouldn't want to live there in comparison to where I live. Just saying however, it's not like it's a war zone, at least not in my opinion/experience.
Again opinions do not matter real hard facts do, period
Sure. It goes both ways however (that is, it'd be nice if opinion doesn't get stated as fact for some strength of rational argument purpose attempt, about EBikes for example).
A good suggestion, in my opinion. One that should be thought about with regards to the bandwagons for adoption of EBikes, EVs, Green, etc., and with regards to the bandwagons opposing such. Same can probably also be said about bandwagons for left, right, liberal, conservative, woke, asleep, anti-fossil-fuels, anti-anti-fossil-fuels.
I don't want to create a thread that doesn't officially have a category. This isn't my website and I want to respect Kevin's original intent of a tech site.
Well it would relate to Tech wouldn't it, in the same way as to why any of it is brought up in existing posts/threads, no? At minimum, wouldn't it also be about empowering western industry and commercialism rejuvenation along certain paths for certain benefits/purposes? I am only guessing, based on whatever current linkages seem to be implied. I could be wrong.I don't want to create a thread that doesn't officially have a category. This isn't my website and I want to respect Kevin's original intent of a tech site.
P.S. I'm not frustrated about anything. The beauty of America is everyone believes what they want to believe. I have no emotional need for others to think the way I think
Your free to do what ever you want, believe anything. You just have a habit of discounting anything you have not witnessed. Sp I will tell you what I tell some people who either refuse to look at the stats/facts/math/science please remember to ask for a window seat in the box car……lmao…woof!
You and Yam are one in the same let the name calling begin!
