Questions worth asking. Small changes. Big impact. Helping organizations uncover opportunities hiding in plain sight.

One of my workers kept telling me the rat problem at 207th Street was getting out of control.
We went to look, and this is what we found. Before anyone says, “That’s just part of the job,” ask yourself one question: Would you accept these conditions at your own workplace? Transit workers deserve a safe, clean work environment just like everyone else.

My dog passed away 7 months ago. Today, I met this beautiful dog at the local animal shelter. Should I adopt it? I think I should adopt it.

Not it’s not. If the goal is to save time, reduce costs, and build better systems, why aren’t we starting with an independent, AI-first assessment before hiring teams, issuing contracts, or expanding staff?
An objective AI strategist, without institutional bias or preconceived assumptions, can quickly assess what’s working, what’s not, identify opportunities, define the true scope of work, and help determine who should actually be hired and what skills are really needed.
Instead, we often default to the same institutional process, and the inertia that comes with it.
AI isn’t just about doing work faster.
It’s about making better decisions before the work even begins.
To me, that’s one of the greatest missed opportunities of AI today.

This is an excellent move. NYC Gov’t urgently needs a technology upgrade. Relying on outside consultants for the needed expertise is too slow and too costly. Much better to build a team of tech pros in house.

@EinhornGabe The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce under Nancy Ploeger and many other organizations were fighting this for years as businesses left the city. It’s criminal it’s still around.

New York City is the only major city in America that taxes businesses on their rent.
It's called the Commercial Rent Tax. If you lease commercial space south of 96th Street in Manhattan and pay more than $250,000 a year in rent, you owe the city 3.9% on top of it.
That means a restaurant paying $30,000/month in rent is also writing the city a check for $14,000+ a year just for the privilege of being a tenant.
People wonder why their favorite shops keep closing. Meanwhile the city collects over $900 million a year from this one tax alone.
Every politician talks about saving small business, but none of them will touch the tax that's bleeding them dry.

You're missing the point. You don't hire staff until you have have proper diagnostics.

Instead we divert to dinosaur thinking....

@ThriveandAI @NYCMayor @NYCOfficeofTech AI is not at a point where it can reliably build complete, dependable complex and secure websites. So no, one person who knows AI cannot this.

Every confusing city website and dead-end government portal makes New Yorkers trust their leaders less and less. It's time for City government to enter the 21st century.
We’re investing in five @NYCOfficeofTech PIT crews dedicated to modernizing New York City’s web tools and creating new, easy-to-use online resources.
If you’re a software engineer, designer, or technologist who wants to help make City government work better and faster, apply to join our PIT crews at nyc.gov/pitcrew.

Are we still thinking in the dinosaur age? 🦕
That’s what came to mind when I saw this post.

@PMebish @NYCMayor @NYCOfficeofTech You don’t need a full staff to diagnosis the issues. You need an expert in AI. Actual buildout is a different story.

@babtundescott The man is 80 years old. Why have him endure financial stress that could impact his longevity.

As a Muslim I can’t comprehend this. You have 3million dollars and can’t pay 55k to settle your dad’s debt.
This is a white person problem.

Caller: “ I have a net worth of about $3 million and my Dad has asked for $55,000 to pay his debt. What should i do?” Caller: My 80 year old father is asking my husband and me for $55,000 to pay off his credit card and car loan debt. Dave: What’s your financial situation? Carla: We’re retired, debt free, net worth between $2 and $3 million but we’re on a fixed income and would have to dip into retirement accounts to do it. Dave: And your husband’s position? Carla: He’s firmly against it. But my dad is very persuasive and I feel guilty saying no. Dave: Carla, the answer is no. You have no moral, ethical, or biblical obligation to fund your father’s bad financial habits especially when manipulation is part of how he’s asking. Carla: But he’s 80 and he’s my dad. Dave: Being your dad doesn’t give him the right to your retirement. And “no” is a complete sentence. Don’t give him an encyclopedia of reasons, he’ll debate every one. Be brief, be gentle, and be firm. Carla: What can I offer instead? Dave: Gift him Financial Peace University. Give him the tools to help himself. That’s generous without enabling the pattern.

Rents in NYC have just hit an all-time high.
Median market rate in June…
Manhattan: $5,295/mo (+8.2% year-over-year)
Brooklyn: $4,350 (+8.1%)
NYC’s housing affordability crisis is at DefCon 1. We need to push harder on every front to address our housing shortage.
Update zoning, invest more City $ in affordable units, lower the time & cost City bureaucracy imposes on construction, get 1000s of vacant regulated units back on the market. We need bold action. This is a crisis.

@Crime_In_NYC Somewhere along the way, NYC abandoned the concept of public health.

Scenes from Mamdaniland, where no one dares require vendors - wherever they came from and whatever their legal status is - to have licenses to operate.
This was recorded in Times Square.

He was a great actor, but also a great man who understood the importance of proper farming. This was a man who understood the importance of proper husbandry, of the farmer's oath to nurture and love his animals as well as to use their wonderful products well. RIP, king.

Stop treating housekeeping like a punishment. Put on music, light the candles, burn the incense, and romanticize it. You’re not cleaning the house… you’re restoring order to your little kingdom.
