Disput the charge with your credit card provider. They will handle it.

The same people would’ve bitched about how the city wasn’t doing anything if we never bought this stuff. Yeah they overpaid for it, but when you’re competing with the entire world for resources money or war is the only way to win.

thanks for posting the explanation, it definitely is something that seems really confusing. I wish they could simplify it, but I doubt it will ever happen.

I honestly don’t know how anyone stays up to date with the tax codes. As much as I hate turbo tax, I would hate working there even more updating the software each year for all of these rules.

Yeah I think that’s a good prediction. Only time will tell though.

It’s an interesting problem because people want to live in nyc for all it offers. However, it looks like around 50% of office workers have no desire to come back and prefer wfh either in nyc or somewhere else.

I’m curious to see if nyc has staying power to be a world class city because it’s great or was it so popular because that’s where business happened. Now that business has shifted to happening all over the place over zoom will we see a declining population here?

Obviously I get the draw to Miami/Austin/Atlanta/etc. but over the next 10-20 years will those cities continue to grow or will people decide to move back/continue to move to nyc over those other places after graduation.

Imo they should charge a fee and have some sort of building code. That way you get rid of the sheds that are one wind gust away from a Massive lawsuit.

When I was looking last summer the leasing agent told me the winter slow down is shifting due to a lot of people moving back in the city during the fall/winter of 2021.

No idea if the data backs that up but that was their antidote.

If they really want to cause a stir on twitter they should light up the building of the Super Bowl losers and tweet out congrats to the runners up.

With the curb app they are hailed in the exact same way now.

Before that it was Xbox exclusive. I remember mw2 you got map packs a month early on Xbox.

Even Illinois (the masters of corruption) was able to get it rolled out faster than this. Although all the licenses went to their friends and I think a couple of people got indicted.

Wasn’t there a story on here a few months ago where the local bodega had a cat they let someone borrow to do just that and then someone stole/lost it?

I just asked what their purpose is. If they are going to look for foreign investment in NYC then that makes sense to me. Qatar has a shit ton of money to invest, but idk what Greece has to offer. That’s all I’m asking.

I get NYC is a global city, but why should state level officials be going on foreign trips? I guess to try and get them to invest in realestate in NYC or something?

Or a big group.

Yeah just to put some back of the napkin math around this.

The top law firms in nyc charge around 2-3k per hour. So in order to generate a 2b fee they would need to spend roughly 660k hours in billed time. A lawyer typically is required to bill 1800+ hours per year at these firms. That would mean 370ish lawyers dedicated full time to this for an entire year. Im not a lawyer so who knows how many it takes for this sort of negotiation, but I would find it hard to believe that many lawyers worked on this full time.

Go inside and try to get T-Mobile to work though. I had to switch to Verizon because T-Mobile never worked inside buildings.

Yeah but that’s for middle management I doubt it effects senior level leaders that much.

Also worth noting to try the curb app. It has its issues but works for the most part.

Maybe I should start walking off the train shoulders square instead of turning to the side to appease these people who have no common decency. It also happens in my apartment in the elevator. People just cut in line or get on when I’m trying to get off.

Does it have a pressing function? Like can I make my shirt look like it just came from the dry cleaners?

Use Firefox and their cookie container plugin. I can log into as many aws accounts as I want. Total game changer but I haven’t found a similar one for chrome yet.
