That analogy doesn't work. They are still physically going into work. That quite literally is not remote...

But isn't compensation supposed to factor in cost of living for employees to make the wage competitive? You're not gonna find an 85K/yr administrative office job working in Tuscaloosa. But you can find a company paying that kind of money in NYC.

I think you guys are really delusional if you expect companies to continue to pay NYC-COL wages to workers living small town USA. Those with niche skills thus they have the bargaining advantage, sure. But your average employee? Lol.

>Showtime is the worst network outside of CBS

And now they will be one! Though I'm expecting a content purge as they consolidate.

Sorry.

"Naming things suck and such a waste of resources. Incompetent!"

There's your community-sanctioned contribution.

Though I do love how you complainers always hate the person who points out that you fools hate everything. Fitting though, if you think about it.

Whenever I'm in a bad mood or having a bad day, I come to this sub to read comments and leave feeling better because as bad as my day was, I'm still not as miserable as the users here who find a reason to hate any and everything possible, and complain about all of it.

I'm really really really hoping they don't stretch out that last scene and what he shouted to be everyone thinking he was talking about the baby, before the story gets around to what he was really talking about.

I have a feeling they might do that. The confusion could serve as a convenient plot device. And while I really enjoyed it, it had a slow start through the first couple of episodes so, to me at least. So capitalizing on the confusion for an episode or 2 seems like it's right up their alley.

He looks a lot like Philip in the bottom picture.

Support for politicians like DeSantis doesn't usually come with critical analysis of their policies. It's usually just agreement with their promotional soundbites and attitude.

Flashlight turns brighter when you win my dude. And the battery life lasts a bit longer too.

How exactly is it in my way? The majority are mounted to walls and I can't phase through walls. And the ones on platforms are no different than the old stands that had the map on one side and posters about service changes on the other.

Not become. Has always been. The pushback on the Catholic Church priests abuse has for so long been well it's cause they were gay men being allowed around boys unsupervised! Homosexuality was the cause!

I like them. But as we're in r/nyc the answer has to be omg it's the worst thing ever. What a waste of money. It's so garbage. MTA sucks and is corrupt. Just horrible all around.

No. I have it as it is in the article posted.

When private organizations want public services like NYPD officers working security at their event, private organizations hire them and pay for them via the NYPD Paid Detail Program. Here, the city is picking up that expense for this private organization to hold their event.

I don't see why the government is allowed to even fund anything that intentionally discriminates. Can't this be a lawsuit in the making?

And it was even worse in the early days of CBS All Access. I couldn't get trough a single episode of a 30 minute show on my PS4 without it freezing and/or crashing.

You can rent games from the library. And if they're on a play station 4, it could be one they've had for a very long time. Plus they said they allocate $75/month in misc. It may very well be one game they play all the time, so they only needed to buy it the one time. Or for a game like Destiny 2 that has new DLC type releases every ~3-4 or so months, it's easy to squirrel away money to cover any new purchases.

You can easily live in NYC without roommates for $100K.

Though at $1,500, it'd be be really hard to find a landlord willing to rent to you (or a tenant looking for a roommate) if you don't have a sizeable savings to at least attempt to show you're not a risk of falling behind.

Room share options are a lot easier to get for someone making very little.

Manhattan is a constantly revolving door of people. There will always be people looking to move here for short stints with the income to cover the living costs. And then they move on.

The people who plan to at least attempt to plant roots get pushed out to the outer boroughs, further and further out, till they just say fuck it and eventually move on to somewhere else. Either in the tristate area still, or some other region altogether.

>Why doesn’t every landlord raise rent to a million dollars a month

Going to the extreme to refute a point. Solid strategy. That 'given price point' is unaffordable for a lot of people. Unless that example above of a $2K increase is totally reasonable. And all the new buildings around him will charge 5K+ too, cause that old place is charging $5K, but we're offering completely brand new with shiny new appliances and finishes. So surely you will have to pay more here. And on and on and on.

That owner will find someone with deep pockets to rent it.

Ah yes, the famous economics 101 comment. Of course. Before you lot, the economics 101 theory parroted was trickle down theory. Give tax cuts to the wealthy and it'll trickle down to the middle class.

The people of your mentality supported and advocated that theory, ignoring the reality, for decades. Results: shrinking middle class cause greed is allowed unchecked. Great job.

Now, it's build more! It'll eventually turn into lower rent prices for middle income people and lower.

I'm sure the wealthy appreciates the next generation advocating for them too.

And in 30 years, people will congratulate you on your in depth understanding of economics when rents never actually go down no matter how much was built cause sUppLY aNd DeManD is not the only reason rents keep going in one direction.

But, I get it, you gotta fight for real estate investors/property owners. Cause if you don't who will.

Meanwhile I'm wasting my time screaming into the void. Kinda reminds of 2020 when everyone here was just as confident that NYC was over and would never rebound. You guys definitely know best.

...so no data. Just a claim not supported by rent pricing this century or for the last almost 4 decades. Got it.

Is there historical data to support this claim? There is a lot of new construction that has happened over several decades. Rent is higher now than it was in 2000, 2010, 2015, 2020. Or do we have to wait 50 years minimum for the 'trickle down' to start flowing.

Yes, because those two things are exactly what every claims.

I swear you people love making shit up to argue against. And I don't get why you people refuse to acknowledge the fact that rents will always keep going up because there will always be people willing to pay the asking price. it's also comical that you're comparing Buffalo and Manhattan real estate.

I can't even say you've lost the plot cause it doesn't sound like you've ever held it.

Ah, this is one of those "nothing is good; everything sucks" threads.

A staple.
