@DoctorGonzo__ @BFRealization @1ssve What are you supposed to do in the meantime? Not pay the bills?
English
@BFRealization @Maple2205 @1ssve Yeah, because they know you’re going to leave as soon as you get your qualified job offer
English
@DoctorGonzo__ @1ssve People have the skills, they’re just forced to take lower skilled jobs because they’re the only places hiring.
English
@1ssve Why do none of you have real skills? Why are you applying to jobs for high schoolers?

@heyyitsjanea I haven’t bought chips in a while, and I was shocked when I saw the price. (Party size aside)

$4.29 for a bag of lays is absolutely insane

I’m tired of people pushing trades work like it’s some easy money grab and lying about what people make. To make the 6 figures they be talking about, you gotta be a union worker for like a decade plus. You not just finna hop in that shit and make big money lmao

Lowe’s is offering $250 million in grants to help those who want to learn the trades, electrician, carpenter, etc. Home Depot lets you watch free videos to learn and get certified through them. This is actually paying you to go to school and learn the trades! If you can’t find work, this is a great opportunity to get into the trades in Texas and electrician makes $250,000 a year

When you see your taxes being spent on feeding children instead of bombing them.
Julia Hartley-Brewer@JuliaHB1
The breakfasts are not free. They are paid for by taxes - mostly on parents who feed their own kids. Most of these 10,000 children would have had a perfectly healthy breakfast at home without these clubs. This isn't about helping the poorest kids, it's the state taking over the basic job of parenting.

They went from “he’s a fucking communist” to “why isn’t he doing more communism”

Here are the promises Zohran Mamdani broke in his first 100 days in office trib.al/b4c9nDy
English
@NeverTr74704466 @HLtheWilkinson @FaytuksNetwork Everyone should pay taxes, but 5% of 100k is way less impactful than 5% of even 1M, after a certain threshold they are incentivized to look for ways to avoid paying taxes, often causing them to pay less than they should be. Simply put; we need to close the loopholes.
English
@Maple2205 @HLtheWilkinson @FaytuksNetwork There's a reason existing city services already require working class people to pay high taxes. He's calling for expanding them greatly. There's no way to do that just by having the top 5% pay for it.
English
@NeverTr74704466 @HLtheWilkinson @FaytuksNetwork I don’t think it’ll start at $100K, New York has plenty of millionaires+ who should be the first to get taxed. If nothing else, I believe Mamdani is pragmatic enough to make the hard choices even if it makes him look worse in the short term.
English
@Maple2205 @HLtheWilkinson @FaytuksNetwork Oh, it'll take more than taxes on wealthier New Yorkers. Wealthy is going to have to start at $100K to fulfill the key items on his agenda.
English
@NeverTr74704466 @HLtheWilkinson @FaytuksNetwork You’re right that it’s not a state secret, but he has to make a big deal out of the financial deficit so he can push for higher tax rates on wealthier people. Im still optimistic, because this is a step in the right direction.
English
@HLtheWilkinson @FaytuksNetwork His offense isn't New York being broke. It's him not knowing NYC was broke while campaigning to run it. It's not like it was a state secret.

@SSaAvept @JeepandDogs @esjesjesj Are we actually shocked that edgy teenagers did edgy teenager things? Like this is grasping at straws…
English
@JeepandDogs @esjesjesj Yes because thats an adult in power, not a 15 year old on Twitter dumbass.

Besides her being a child at the time and clearly not being a racist, like what do you want to do impeach her as Mamdani’s wife? Is there a vice wife who will take over

@GarysXad @pe_tsar The incentive is that we pay more than what they pay across the boarder, and if they do go back after the season is over- they may not be able to come back next season. So they stay.
Also, most people don’t sneak through the boarder, they just over stay after coming legally.
English
@Maple2205 @pe_tsar The incentive to stay is because we have built a better society..
Will always be an incentive to stay ..or sneak across the border ..
If you are caught by ICE you are not allowed to return ..incentive to leave

@Maple2205 @pe_tsar Hahaha….
They come for the money …
Democrats are more worried about votes than what is good for the country…
Stop the welfare and then the blacks will be begging for those jobs and we won’t need migrants
English
@wsgimfloof @2Materes Depends on what you didn’t check off, but it’s just poorly made as a whole.
English
@GarysXad @pe_tsar Historically, laborers came during harvest season, and left when it was over, but now they are incentivized to overstay, because there is no guarantee they will be allowed back in next year. Most come as laborers, and if we want them to not overstay, we need the “revolving door”.
English
@JohnTeufelNYC ~$80,000. Source: I know a guy in Whitestone.
But I imagine it’s also varies greatly from person to person and expenses, as I heard from him that other owners make ~$60,000 around Bayside.

This NY Mag piece is interesting but it does not answer the one income question I have had for years: how much do you make owning a basic pizza place? Not a famous one. Just a normal pizza place in like, let's say, Flushing Queens. 60k? 500k? I would believe either.
Frank Chaparro@fintechfrank
NY Mag spoke with 60 New Yorkers about how much they made last year. Here were some of the top earners: • Consultant — $17M • Manhattan plastic surgeon — $4M • Venture capitalist — $3.5M • Head of engineering at an AI startup — $2.45M • Interior designer — $1.5M • Dentist — $1.2M • Cardiovascular surgeon — $670K • Seasoned journalist — $500K
