@DarrigoMelanie @MorePerfectUS you can be upset about both… stop it

For those upset about this, here’s how much hotel CEOs make per year for comparison: Hilton CEO: $27.6M Hyatt CEO: $26.7M Marriott: $22.97M Wyndham CEO: $13.55M Choice Hotels: $8M They can afford to pay their workers more if they can afford to pay themselves this.

Privatize the LIRR. The recent strike threat by LIRR unions perfectly illustrates the core problem with government monopoly: captive riders (300,000+ daily) have no alternatives, so unions wield monopoly bargaining power backed by the ability to shut down service and extract concessions from politicians who spend other people’s money. Taxpayers foot the subsidies and bailouts; riders get the delays and higher fares. Privatization ends the farce. Private owners face direct revenue loss from any strike and real competition (cars, buses, rideshares, or rival rail operators). They would negotiate market-driven contracts, cut waste, innovate on scheduling and fares, and deliver reliable service—or go broke. No more political theater, no more involuntary taxpayer underwriting of union power. Government can’t run a railroad efficiently. Markets can. The strike threat proves it.

@Teamsters @BLET

@frootysaysalot screens in kids hands are the cigarettes of our era…

what’s a very normal thing in today’s world that you think future generations will judge us heavily for?

Just got back from Tokyo. To NYC. It's hard to avoid the blindingly obvious truth--NY tax dollars are disgustingly wasted. It's shocking, the state of the City considering it's budget. You could "tax the rich" into bankruptcy and it wouldn't fix the MTA, which carries approximately the same ridership as the Tokyo Metro but has a budget 5.5x larger than Tokyo's. I mean the answer isn't dollars, it's actually just a question of efficiency. And NYC's government is corrupt, bloated, and the poster child of inefficiency.

@madison_tayt Or fire all the LIRR workers and replace them with automation that runs better and safer.

@madison_tayt Greed is Greed… whether it’s billionaires or labor…. fuck that union

don’t respect anyone who’s mad that LIRR workers make more than them and are still striking. go on strike too if you want more money!!!

Governor @KathyHochul, NYC needs you to channel your inner LKY. This is the only thing that needs to be said to America's Public Sector Unions.

@vorleon @SaraYolotrader @Izengabe_ @zedsamcat it’s well known they abuse the OT… if u tu pure not from the area you should listen more and speak less

@SaraYolotrader @Izengabe_ @zedsamcat If these are the two perspectives you're taking away from this thread and situation overall, it does not shock me why you fall on this side of the argument given how lost you are. I'm so sorry friend

What the actual fuck is this, nuke every single LIRR employee union

@gbhunior @zedsamcat this job is not automated because of politics. dont make their job more than it is.

@zedsamcat Do the job. Realize it’s a life and death position. Meanwhile, you should look at how much compensation the pencil pushers make year by year. Also realize, how many lives a locomotive engineer has under his control, hourly. Yeah, they should be paid more.

@billiceberg 'Train operators' Glorified bus drivers, everything is automated.

@AndrewAzlan @billiceberg people keeping the trains running should not extort money like the billionaires

@billiceberg Wow, the “for the working class” people turned from the billionaires to people who keep the trains running REAL FAST 😂

LIRR Train operators average over $230K in total annual compensation with a lifetime pension when you retire at 58. And they are shutting it down until they get more. Public Unions are crooks holding public services hostage. End all public unions, and automate the trains.

break the LIRR union…

@billiceberg One. Giant. Scam.

Playoff games in the four major sports should be viewable by anyone with an antenna or basic cable. This is America.

@King_Cle_Po @BobaCyclist take the train

@BobaCyclist you clown! how about they fucking open the street back up for driving!! Why take away lanes for pedestrians to walk and big ass bike lanes and dead space? this is not EUROPE its NEW YORK!

Every crosswalk along Third Avenue looks like this because nothing is stopping drivers’ entitlement. Ticketing this behavior would balance the NYS budget

The environmental arguments against AI proliferation are a band-aid. The real war is the cultural shift to embrace the agonizing uselessness of humanities scholarship.

🚨 NEW: Zohran Mamdani to permanently fund NYC libraries and parks. Libraries will no longer have to plead for funding each year.

Wemby had Gobert LOST on this play 😳😭 Dylan Harper's reaction after 🤣
