Yeah I had a discussion with my city councillor about this same thing after walking through a ravine path/dog off-leash area with no benches or garbage cans or anything.
I was fine, but I was with my friend has trouble standing for long periods. We ended up bussing back because he couldn’t rest anywhere.
Apparently the last councillor had them removed for this reason and he’s going to try to get them back with next year’s budget.
They’re now working on figuring out how to remove the ground altogether
If they could charge for air, they would.
Doofenschmertz is on it!
From what I’ve seen of him, I’m not even sure if he’s evil enough. XD
Fucking
Having nice things is why we can’t have nice things.
Q: why hasnt mamdani fixed this A: he is an opportunist who tried to defund libraries until he was called out
You’d like to think that the new Ultra-Left Tankie Mayor will reverse course on this kind of policy.
I know your comment is sarcasm, but the date on this post has likely been obscured on purpose to sow division exactly like this.
The fact that the blurred time stamp is actually a date and not a relative “integer units ago” tells me that this post is at least several years old…
Its like this everywhere.
I saw this before. I wouldn’t me be surprised if it wasn’t years old.
I would assume it’s from 2020 from the “wear a mask” in the username. I tried to find it but I’m guessing it was deleted
Youd like to think thats true, it probably is. This post is from like 4-5 years ago (evidence is the “wear a mask” in the NYC account’s title). I’d guess that Mamdani has put that barbaric pratice behind the city, and that they would be moving forward on more low income housing and accessible shelters in the city.
Fun fact about the word “barbaric”: it comes from ancient Mediterranean race politics. See, in the Roman Empire, there were two races; Roman and barbarian. Barbarian was the word for foreigners, and it came from the way the Greeks and Romans thought foreign languages sounded like “barbar”.
Now, we have 2000 years of history of different groups trying to claim they’re the continuation of the Roman Empire. There’s the Byzantines, and the Holy Roman Empire… And fun fact: when the Nazis called themselves the “third reich”, the first reich was the Roman Empire. The Nazis were trying to argue that they were the new Romans. And the reason why America and England have all that neoclassical architecture in government buildings is for kind of the same reason.
Now, I self-identify as an enemy of fascism and the traditional West. I’m the kind of person who thinks the goths were right and Rome deserved to be sacked. So, I identify as a barbarian. Barbarbar. And I support barbaric practices! I hope Zohran Mamdani has a lot of barbaric policies which expose the injustices of America and help the people.
Fuck me I shouldve just described it as “despicable” and gotten on with my day 😂
Clearly you have never lived in a country where the picnic services and parks have been turned into shanty towns. You should be pushing for more shelters not encouraging them to sleep on a subway bench. Problem is that would require you to volunteer, donate, hit the pavement. And you guys just wanna sit at home and meme instead
We should be pushing for no homelessness. Not make life bad for everyone by removing infrastructure.
Problem is that would require you to volunteer, donate, hit the pavement.
Me, a lowly peon, glancing around my subway: “Damn, miss those benches.”
You, a CEO at Terminally Online Industries: “It’s your own fault for failing to single-handedly solve homelessness.”
You could probably diy like five guys at blackrock. Five guys who are in the same room pretty often. Solving it yourself isn’t implausible.

The meme is not on their side, unfortunately.
They say “volunteer, donate” and “shelters” are the answer. That’s nothing but a band-aid. Yes, it can help with the immediate problem, but it’s never an actual answer. The answer is government programs to put homeless people in honest-to-god housing, not shelters.

Only government. No other kind of organizing.
“Donation” is the furthest from a solution to the capitalist system you could ever suggest.
Or just lock them in a box. 95%+ are on drugs or have serous mental health issues. That’s enough to lock em up in rehab or a phyc ward.
Are you describing the homeless or CEOs?
