Anyone who thinks they can climb the ladder using Trump and have any semblance of saftey is going to end up at the bottom of the same staircase his first wife 'fell' down. Miller is in danger, he's just too conceited to know it yet. Trump will literally set the whole world aflame if it serves him with no remorse. No one is safe.

    It looks like there was a new law passed in 2022 i wasn't aware of but billers have found loopholes to bill after the fact for larger amounts.

    I've taken an ambulance and after whatever insurance covered my bill was over 5k. A few years ago, my sister had a fall outside and was unconscious and an ambulance was called. She had a bill for close to 10k.

    There are a lot of private ambulance companies that charge different rates and different hospitals have different rates so a lot of the time it depends on who picks you up.

    Over 6 billion in government contracts were awarded. Wish there was a full breakdown of where this money went and who in the government owns stock in these companies. I feel that that would be so telling.

    Neighborhoods are all being torn up by these foreign developers making these condos that just sit empty. They're razing our neighborhoods for the ultrarich because the city is broke since the pandemic and all our taxes go federally instead of taking care of our own expenses. Mayor Adams sold us off to the highest bidder and changed so many laws to take bribes and for his own benefit. The city also took ownership of so many coop buildings in low income areas in the past few years and resold them for a profit without properly reimbursing the condo/coop owners. This was the worst across the bronx/Harlem.

    I don't understand how so many foreign countries can build here and own here. We used to have laws because the city is sinking, we had a curated skyline ect but now its just who has the biggest bankroll. And then these developers leave with cash in hand once they sell and are not accountable at all when their developments fall apart.

    My home doesn't look like my home any more. There is not one block in my neighborhood that hasnt been torn up. Youll be hard pressed to find even one where they haven't removed a building to put up one of those empty condos.They come in, buy, even if the building is newish- get permits/pay bribes and tear things up. The biggest punch in the face is when they get affordable housing kickbacks to raffle off a 1 bedroom that you can rent for 3k a month.

    We also would always get a lot of people moving here, but post pandemic there has been more new people than ever, which hits harder when you saw how anyone who moved here cause 'nyc is cool' abandoned nyc the second the pandemic hit. Everyone loves the city so much, but almost no one stuck around when it got tough. The majority didn't have loyalty towards the city because they don't see it as a real home and don't work towards community and contributing towards making society here better.

    And the most hilarious part is watching these people who just moved here begin to complain "it just isn't the same" and "wow its so gentrified now" like they aren't a symptom of the problem. You miss all the mom and pop shops you had 3 years ago, but you snubbed the buildings we had and got something in a new development that had originally torn up a dozen mom and pop shops. Now you're bitter that it kept happening.

    Nyc is nice. But the soul is slowly being erased. They pushed us out. Read the graffiti in Harlem lately, this is the general sentiment.

    When they push us out, where will we go?

    5k to 10k. So people risk death, drive themselves, find a ride somehow and refuse to get on when it gets called. There have been some new laws about credit scores and medical debt, but before these laws, everyone was on health issue away from a lifetime sentence of poor credit here. And even these new laws are a grey area of helpfulness.
