only somewhat related but one of my favorite maps of all time is this map of the contiguous u.s. showing what location people think of when they hear the phrase “the city”
@RobProvince I brown bag it 4 days a week. Anyone complaining about the cost of fast food can fuck off.
Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch
A chipotle burrito with Guac and a drink is $26 by me.
The union and the incumbent hotel owners teamed up to quasi-ban new hotels and competition from Airbnb, so it’s now possible for the hotel owners to share rents generously with the workers — good for them but bad for everyone else in the city.
Tonight, the @MTA reached a fair deal with the five LIRR unions that delivers raises for workers while protecting riders and taxpayers. I’m pleased to announce that phased LIRR service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon.

so interesting to see which jobs are seen as deserving of high wages
@SenatorLuma It still makes no sense to pay people 16 hours of wages for 8 hours of work, sorry
I think it's fine for LIRR workers to ask for 200k, or more. Billionaires have been telling us for years that we need to capitulate to their preferred tax rates or else—and our government concedes to them. Why should the workers who can actually bring large swaths of this city to a halt be expected to not wield that power? Why do we accept the people at the very, very top—who have nothing in common with us—using leverage to get ahead, but not the people one tax bracket up who live and work in our communities?
