Are you aware of a better study involving a control group?

I meant because of the strike specifically, which is what your comment implies.

You think people will die because of this?

Single ride at $4.50 now—only a 50 cent increase but I have it say that’s a psychological barrier that is probably going to make me use these things a lot less.

It’s certainly true that at some point, the horses are out of the barn.

Gambling can still have a deleterious effect on the poor overall even if not everyone who gambles doesn’t become an addict.
My only point is that “people will do thing X regardless” isn’t a good response here.

More people gamble the more widely available gambling is.

Good point. I guess we always had to legalize gambling so we weren’t hypocritical about alcohol. Don’t want to be paternalistic!

It is different but why should the cop be allowed to lie? The lie that he’s not undercover may lead others to make incriminating statements that are later used against them in court, just as statements in an interrogation are.
Edit: just got a 14-day ban for my initial comment on this thread.

What do you see him as having done for the district?
I agree his office is responsive, as in they will pick up the phone and talk to you or call you back if you leave a message. But then again so was Corey Johnson’s office (which is how I got to know Bottcher).

Reply to comment by ChrisFromLongIsland in James Dolan’s facial ID tech snags another lawyer who says he was booted from Knicks game by PichuLovy
Many years ago I had a super shady contractor walk off the job and demand more money to continue. He threatened me by saying he was married to a relative of Joe Crowley and that the Crowleys ran Queens and would make my life very difficult. I was so pissed off that I surreptitiously recorded him (love that one-party consent rule in NY) and spent the weekend drafting (1) a 50 page complaint that detailed everything he said and (2) a settlement agreement in which I agreed to let him out of the contract in exchange for not having to pay him $30k I owed him. I told him if he didn’t sign the agreement I’d file the complaint on Tuesday. He signed. And I also kept his tools. Asshole.

What about the other hypothetical I asked: Should an undercover cop be required to tell people that he’s a cop, or should he be allowed to lie about that?

The problem is that until we get such a study, there isn’t really strong evidence that “long Covid” exists as anything more than a series of one-off phenomena.
