@ian_heyting @TheRealKeean That's not a rolls Joyce. Someone put a rolls grill on another car.

@taylor_vahey So you're the ones breaking the no wake rules in Oyster River.

@BillboardChris Canadians should focus on what they want and not on what Trump wants. Canadians want relief from impending tarrifs. Stop letting Trump move the goal posts.

@TheSteveErdman @Brahmslover1278 @unusual_whales What's the last war the US won against a developed nation? They even lost to Vietnam.

@Brahmslover1278 @unusual_whales Pretty sure America is STILL, the reigning, undefeated champions of the last two world wars...

@johnEiid @unusual_whales What's the last war the USA won against a developed nation?

@unusual_whales What is Germany and France going to do?
Compared to the US they are NOTHING

@DerrickEvans4WV @Brahmslover1278 @unusual_whales A lot of "former" in your profile to be worried about our current allies.

@queens_parents You can still drive into the city above 60th street you know without paying $9

Manhattan looks like an eerie ghost town now. RIP to small businesses who can't afford the increased surcharges their vendors and suppliers will pass on.

This is a STRIKING decrease in congestion and chaos. Same intersection, same time of day, September vs today. It’s working! And it’s critical that DOT seize this opportunity and transform our streets for people. Now.

@truckdriverpleb My kids have Canadian citizenship and have never stepped foot in the country.

@nikkiandradeg @ViralNewsNYC The amount of agencies with exemptions from this charge is extensive. If your job depends on crossing 60th st, then you are likely exempt.
English

Everybody talks about the private cars only. Nobody seems to understand the economy of this city. There is a huge instacart and uber eats economy. People who have not been able to land jobs, survive on these apps. It will increase the service. Also Manhattan has thousands of grocery stores, restaurants who all depend on big deliveries. Everything will get more expensive. And truthfully traffic could have be improved if traffic rules were enforced. But lanes are blocked by double parking everywhere at rush hour. Two lanes have been removed: one only for buses and one for bikes. You know how many bikes are out and about during the winter?

Congestion pricing is now fully operational.
Regular citizens will pay $9
Taxi cabs will pay .75 cents
motorcycle will pay $4.50
Users will pay $1.50
Large trucks will pay $21.60
Small trucks will pay $14.40
Sources state taxi and Uber lobbyists pushed for this move .
Do you think this is fair to lower and middle-class New Yorkers?
English

@ImMeme0 Of course the guy filming this is in a truck. In NYC. The "average" driver.
Delusional.
Congestion pricing is only in parts of the island, and impacts the wealthiest area of Manhattan.

@DiabolicalSpuds I am impressed by a well-made and expensive watch; I am not impressed by someone buying one. Big distinction in my mind.
English

I am being completely serious when I say that every single person who would be impressed by an expensive watch is someone who should be removed from the gene pool.
Steven@StevenPulteFam
This is not satire. You can get a Rolex for 4 grand Having a nice watch communicates status to women and business relationships And if you buy it right it will hold its value if not appreciate

@pdabrosca *Why are THERE cashiers.
FFS, you're proving THEIR point.

@tbonew2 @AutismCapital The Federal Government has very little to do with education. To prove it, look at educational attainment across the various states. The real solution is to make states fund school entirely and take local taxes out of it; that's the Con that the USA doesn't see yet.
English

@AutismCapital I think the conclusion of the debate is to abolish the Department of Education and privatize education.
With the government not educating our children, we will save significantly on taxes, and private ed will be more affordable. More freedom and a better educated future workforce

So basically the right split into two factions, tech right and right right, and the tech right is like "hey we need h-1b visa people to do the jobs," and the right right was like "no you need to hire americans," and the tech right is like "but you guys are retarded," and the right right is like "well you don't train us," and the tech right is like "you can't outtrain being retarded," and while all this was going on we learned some people *really* don't like Indians.

@LeadingReport Canada will Thrive!!!
Canada will be great again.
Okay, great for the first time, but it was really good before Trudeau took office. 🥰

@SharylAttkisson I remember that shutdown because I had JUST immigrated, and was waiting on particular paperwork so that I could get permission to work. The govt shutdown froze any processing of immigration, and thus extended the time I had to survive without a paycheck.
English

Quick story about govt. shutdowns and the theatrics behind them. One year when I was reporting at CBS News during a govt. shutdown, I think 2013, we were sincerely searching for real life impact. When we couldn't find any, *that* should have been part of the story. Instead, we kept trying to create the appearance of an impact. It wasn't really trying to be dishonest. It was, in my retrospective view, because the general editorial idea for the story was to show how bad the "Republican" shutdown was for ordinary Americans, and the answer simply couldn't be that it wasn't. I've written quite a bit about this but we, as journalists, too often "decide" the story in advance and shape the facts to fit our narrative, rather than gathering information and letting that tell the story, whatever it may be. Anyway, the Ds were blaming Rs for the shutdown, so we were calling Ds and the Obama administration for ideas to report what was the real impact. Taking our cue, these officials fabricated impact that we could report. For example, they cordoned off outdoor public monuments in Washington DC. We knew and even discussed in the newsroom that this made no sense. These monuments weren't "manned" to begin with. The only reason to cordon them off from the public was so that visiting tourists would see the "impact" of the shutdowns and the news media would have something to take pictures of and interview people about. There are other examples but this is the one I remember the most.

@CodeNameOFP So, like 100,000 communions? If we guess that Jesus was about 150 lbs.
