Step one: stop calling them tax cuts and call them ehat they are, tax increases. When something like 95% of the us will have taxes go up, its a tax increase. Stopnframing things from the perspective of the rich

This first 90 days is gping to be the most epic malicipus compliance in history. They basically declared war on all the civil servants, so those very servants are just going to do exactly what is asked no matter how stupid.

They cant pay it because if they do, trump and his ilknwill use it as ammo to atate that the federal govt never needed to pay it. It would be a short term win with disasterous long term consequences.

Whats more likely to happen is that they scramble to fix that because too many of their voters rely on it.

Dont interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake

Support your local businesses. Unless its a super niche product, just buy it local

The key word here is that its up to US. Resistance as am actual thing, not some stupid democratic slogan. True civil disobediance.

The revolution will NOT be televised

I’ve found people who do one will manage the other with ease. But “oops! No ticket” is a canary telling me their commit log is going to be shit.

Thats an astute observation. I really cant refute that haha.

They are there for higher ups to bitch at in toxic orgs. Thats why they pester constantly; noone wanta to be bitched at.

Dont worry, they are unserious about actual results; they just care about the appearance of results that they can report up. Just start padding extra... Fucking story points...jesus.... To each ticket. Now everyones charts look like their velocity increased. Dont worry, noone is actually measuring results.

On second thoughr.... Is this a world we wanna save?

I get the message here for sure, but imo tickets (while important) take a back seat to a rich commit history. Ifbthe commit messages and history are high quality enough, one can tell whats up with the code sinply by looking at the log.

Tickets on the otherhand are in a secondary system. Of course, they can bind the work of multiple projects together. But honestly, has anyone ever been able to just reach the ticket history and know everything about a project without asking someone?

But not all parts of nyc are covered by a subway (outer queens, parts of eastern brooklyn, most of staten island [arguably all of it]). NJ isnt covered at all except for PATH, which is limited. If you live in nyc and work in new jersey, this is a new tax (either in time or money). If you live in parts of nyc that are a two fare zone, this is a new burden as well.

All subway upgrades this century so far have been centered in new stations in manhattan, which is already densely covered; train lines need to be added and extended to all parts of the city that dont have coverage whatsoever.

Thanks for clarifying. I forgot its not interchangable for the Netherlands.

Best in the nation does not mean it is good. A great deal of NYC is not sufficiently covered

How does one go around entirely when trying to reach long island, and vice versa?

How many are driving into, or driving tbrough? To get from long island to nj, one needs to either go all the wya to the gwb (already worst traffic in the entire nation), go through staten island (two tolls, one of them being > $20), or go theough residential streets in manhattan to get from the bridges to the tunnels. Cross town highway options are non existant. Its a geographic, and poor planning issue.

There are a lot of two fare zones in the city limits. I understand the desire some people have to turn nyc into big amsterdam, but nyc is substantially larger than that city with substanitally less interconectedness. Hell, Holland is a country barely bigger than the NYC metropolitan area.

If people had good reliable transit available, they would use it. The reality is that they do not. People who think nyc does either are not from there, or live in the privilged part that has tons of transit options.

You cant force people, you have to offer better options. I agree, if cars were the slowest option people wouldnt use them. Guess what? They arent. Three bus transfers are. This is ignoring anyone who needs to travel outaide of the city limits as well.

A lot of nyc is a two plus fare zone.

Just because people work for these places doesnt mean they dont also feel the system effects of them. Most people just need a paycheck to support thenselves
