“self absorbed New Yorkers ” — is that supposed to mean I’m a sponge?
“BHO & any other Team bear members please feel free to offer any data to the contrary.” – DIBS @ 8:45
Data: 15, 21, 10, 30 and 81.
15% of US mortgages were either delinquent or in foreclosure by the end of 4Q09, the HIGHEST EVER in the history of the MBA’s National Delinquency Survey (1970’S, 1950’S?).
21% of US mortgages are underwater.
10 cities face the double whammy of elevated unemployment, up to 30%, AND high concentrations of negative equity (Finding NEMO), up to 81%.
The banks that hold this toilet paper, where do you think they’re centered? Not to mention our own local “double whammy”. Au contrare mufrare!

And it is ‘on line’ dear.
Only to self absorbed New Yorkers that feel they have to say something different to sound more educated.
🙂 Lived in PA for a long time, Pete! And I do travel for good stuff…my Brownstoner T-shirt you saw at the party? Made mostly from stuff procured on Staten Island! Snappy goes wherever the bus goes!
“Snappy will be in line ” — only if it is within certain distance from Snappy’s home. I don’t think she travels anywhere near to where Walmart is thinking about.
And it is ‘on line’ dear. Where are you from ? Pennsylvania or someplace?
Hey, if it’s a choice between working at Walmart and starving, I’d work there too. I don’t fault people for that, I fault the company for their practices which make working there less than stellar. I’m just stating that I choose to boycott Walmart, nothing more. I don’t expect people to line up behind me.
I have to admit, I don’t care much about how WalMart treats its workers. I care about low prices. If the jobs are truly explotative (is that a word?!) then folks don’t have to work there. But if you open it and manage to get some employees, Snappy will be in line with cheap goods and a big ass smile.
dibs,
For any fairly serious trauma, Bellevue is far better than any of the “fancy” hospitals like NYU and definitely not Lenox Hill. When a police or fire officer is shot or injured, they are taken right to Bellevue. And the wait at NYC and Lenox Hill is not particular short, by the way, unless you are triaged right in. Many uninformed people new to NYC think Bellevue is a hospital to stay far away from, but if you have a serious trauma (not illness), you’d be lucky to be taken there.
Sparafucile has hit the nail right on the head.
