“Pete, that’s because we expect each and every one to carry his or her own weight, unlike entitled Democrats who basically feed at the teet of the government.”
That’s teat, you know. Or perhaps you wouldn’t, since bankers never, ever take any government money. Ever! In the entire history of time.
But what I wanted to comment about in this thread was the co-op thing. To flog a dead horse, I didn’t think the co-op was being stopped from opening new branches by anyone. The linked article seems to imply that though. Why?

VERY fine comment, bxgrl ~!
Maybe some of the cuts would not be necessary if Bloomberg would merely open his pocket and pay the city coffers back the approximately $700 million dollars he pushed for and continues to push for to implement a non-functioning and incomplete City Time project. The original cost was supposed to be about $65 million. It’s years past deadline and well more than 1000% over budget. The man is a friggin’ management genius! A little more of his genius and the city will be totally bankrupted. But, of course, he and his billionaire buddies will be a lot richer.
Well I certainly agree a pay cut is better than a job loss for everyone, including the public. Otherwise welfare pays, etc.
Maybe MTA management and all government management could take a pay cut?
Rob, your comment is puerile and jejune.
“I know abstract mathematical thinking is harder for some people.”
you would know that better than I. I don’t have that problem.
I can understand it given what I know intuitively about the numbers. that’s why i know my analysis is correct.
Red states….lower income, smaller populations. The absolute dollar amounts are not necessarily bigger.
I know abstract mathematical thinking is harder for some people.
since you think so, then you post the rest. Prove your point.
Figures you’d only post selective data, not the whole picture.
bxgrl expects dave to look it up himself.
