“MTA gave free rides to tourists at Christmas time, not New Yorkers.” — that was silly, tourists don’t know how to get where they want to go on subway and can’t read maps.
MTA gave free rides to tourists at Christmas time, not New Yorkers.
That MTA surplus wasn’t a real surplus that would have lead to actual money on the books. It would have lead to the state cutting their funding, which they did anyway and helped create the situation the MTA is in now.
C’mon, guys, I’m sure our dealer friend donated most of his fortune to the Brooklyn Public Library. He sure looks like a reader to me!
From the pic it looks like he spent it on women who like to look at you over the top of their spectacles.
perhaps he has a secret thing for librarians.
Ditto, like the Albany hedge fund ponzi schene guy…”He spent it all on cheap booze and cheaper women ansd the rest he wasted.”
I don’t know what the “Arean Wall” is, but I know where my mind is because I saw that and thought it said “Asian Wall”.
The Crown Heights dealer was earning $250K at 21. Considering there’s zero chance he paid federal, state or city taxes, medicaid/social security etc. he’s basically making $400K at 21.
I hope he put some into an IRA.
Stoner – I remember it being worse than that – didn’t they give the free rides to tourists or something?
