It really should happen

When the people voted for Boaty McBoatface but were denied by authoritarian dictate, this broke democracy

Maybe if the name goes through this time the situation will improve

A lease that can be renewed perpetually is more valuable than a lease that doesn't come with that benefit. If I were to move under this law, I will have to pay that extra

I would like the right to pay for a 1 or 2 year lease rather than pay more for a perpetual one

This is the proper way to deal with Congress

Seems like they get their share of the profits and they get bought out when they leave

This Teamshares company provides a new boss to make the decisions

Keep standing up for those politicians!

The politicians aren't capable of busting up weed stores themselves; they require enforcers. But they've spent years shitting on their enforcers, and unsurprisingly the enforcers are not particularly eager to serve as muscle for this racket.

They've managed a few busts by relying on the Sheriffs but the deputy's union is trying to get out of it.

The shops are unlicensed

The politicians are illegitimate

Boycott licensed weed, too corrupt

What if you smoke 2 joints before you smoke 2 joints

They pay a fee it's called tax

I have a generally low opinion of the City Council. I actually knew one of them back in the day and can make 1/51 of that judgment from direct personal interactions!

I hold the city's various agencies generally in higher esteem than the Council.

So I figure the bureaucracy's team is probably a bit better than the Council's team, but more importantly, less likely to manipulate things in favor of the Mayor than the Council's team would be likely to manipulate things in favor of the Council.

> Is it that you just want a smaller budget due to fiscal conservatism?

The number under discussion is an estimate of a future fact - it is better to have a more accurate estimate.

Lol the actual city accountants vs. "The City Council Finance Division"

Literally waiting for the crane to finish moving that piece so they can work

My friends who've gotten this have called it non-compete. Definitely not severance, you can take another job once you've got severance. My friends were getting paid to not work for a few months until their current knowledge of the business was not current anymore.

For friends in finance, though I don't think any have been JPMC specifically, the actuality of this sort of thing has been a six month paid vacation between jobs

Not at all I think they will perform excellently

In person workers need to be paid enough to live in NYC

Remote workers only need to be paid enough to live in Missouri, or maybe the Philippines

They wanna run flophouses

I'm pretty cool with it but then I think everyone should be allowed to run flophouses, not just politicians' sweethearts

It's ghosts

He's the head buster

The city wants to keep this all under wraps

And then this dude sues and says "obviously this is actually because of my religious belief". I dunno who wins

OK so here's the nuance: the gov't under secularism cannot refer to the dictates of the Pope. If the Pope is for allowing gay people in the parade but this particular Catholic is not, this internal dispute is none of the gov'ts business.

If the city has a policy of picking up that expense for parades, it can't pick and choose based on religion

You got it kinda backwards. It's the gov't that's not allowed to discriminate.

The gov't has decided that private groups may use the public streets for parades with the proper permits. The gov't can adopt neutral requirements for those permits, but it cannot adopt religious requirements. The group authorized to hold the parade can decide who marches.

The gov't also allows private groups to hold events in parks. Let's say a Jewish group got a permit for a Jewish festival and invited others to put up tables and tents for activities, merchandise, etc. The Jewish group could refuse a table to a Christian group that focused on converting Jews. If that Christian group applied to the gov't for their own park event permit, the gov't could not refuse them because of their beliefs.

Not supposed to discriminate in public accommodations because a religious groups' beliefs differ from state-established religious beliefs

Hell, we're not even supposed to have state-established religious beliefs in the first place
