wall st. is there

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 49 points 6 months ago

The result of centuries of machine politics. A party full of people with tepid porridge for brains there not for their skills or grassroots building but because of who their husband is.

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 37 points 6 months ago

love how New York politics just openly sounds like an corruption exposé with entirely public information. in other countries i think you have to try to hide it

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Okay so there’s this financial disclosure that every NYS employee has to fill out if they earn over ~$111K or are deemed a “policymaker” that list every investment they own. Even if it’s just bog standard pension funds or open market index funds, have to list it every year, and it’s made public.

Back when he was governor, Cuomo’s every year would list that he owned no investments doubt

[-] Iwishiwasntthisway@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

Easy! Everybody has a salary of 110k and a net worth of 30 kabillion dollars.

Ah yes I do love the blacks. I am a democrat and totally not a racist. Oh black youth, have you heard of the wondrous invention of the computer?

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 69 points 6 months ago

the bronx operates by candlelight and people don't take ubers but horses and buggies

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

It was wild during the East kingdom and West kingdom battles of the 90s seeing all those messenger pigeons flying back and forth. But it was a great time when me and the serfs were playing this banger in the great feuds.

My father used to be a cheese chopper before the bodega owners brought in the automated guilotene. If only it could be used for something else.

[-] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 68 points 6 months ago

the part in the title is hogging all the attention but right after that

diverse voices innovating solutions through technology

is pure democrat text autocomplete gibberish

[-] NPa@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

Tried to extend the autocomplete bit, but my phone is too much of a comrade:

diverse voices innovating solutions through technology and services to the train station to the train station to the train station to the train station to the train station to the train station

Babe wake up, new site tagline just dropped.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 58 points 6 months ago

Ok like let's imagine the racism world in which no black kids in the bronx own a computer. Do all the offices and schools still use punch cards and shit? Never seen a tv show? Fuck off lady

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 57 points 6 months ago

Once again new york state being a case study on why "vote blue not matter who" is an ineffective strategy.

You just end up electing fascists who call themselves democrats.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

fascists who call themselves democrats.

that's just what 99% of all elected dems are already

In Democratic-socialist us&a, computer is people who do math.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

A self own of your own education curriculum in the state that you govern IF this was remotely close to reality.

Like there's no reasonable interpretation of this claim that doesn't make you look bad. At worst a racist, at best an incompetent governor.

Right alongside the telegraph and facsimile machine

Ummm sweety imagine what wud trump say, huh he wud say worse racist stuff. Vote blue ok.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 25 points 6 months ago

Pretty crazy Fordham university exists considering its right next to the Bronx so none of the students must have ever seen a computer either.

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 25 points 6 months ago

Rest assured one day they will try to name a bridge or tunnel or something after this clown

A public loo would be apropriate, but she have to die first.

I really really wish somebody had nailed her to the wall and been like "No I want you to really spend some time on that subject, why do you believe that people living in one of the largest most tecnologically advanced cities in the world don't know what a computer is, if your answer is anything other than 'because I'm racist' I want a full dissertation."

[-] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

It's the clishee of americans asking other people if they have electricity and cars, but internally applied.

No this is real, I also saw the commercial where the girl asked “what’s a computer?”

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

noted geographic temporal anomaly, untouched by time and frozen in 1929, The Bronx which is actually an italian transliteration of the 1947 musical: Brigadoon which is based on this situation with The Bronx.

temporal paraboxes up in this piece, amirite?

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

Well yeah, maybe very young children under the age of like 1 don't know what a computer is, because they don't have full command of the lsnguage

[-] poppy_apocalypse@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

She needs to read a book. Maybe, "Masters of Deception," about hacker kids in NYC in the early 90s. She might be shocked to learn about John Lee

[-] POKEMONGOTOTHEGULAG@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They don't even know what a record player is because their moms didn't leave Bach on for them as babies. It is so tragic how the black community sabotages itself.

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

This is not the first time this year the governor’s rhetorical style has led to unwelcome attention. In February, Ms. Hochul referred to a hypothetical destruction of Canada to imply that Israel had a right to destroy Gaza in retaliation for the Oct. 7 attacks.

“If Canada someday ever attacked Buffalo, I’m sorry, my friends, there would be no Canada the next day,”

Honestly, at this point just level NY. Concession stand fail wives calling for nuclear war with Canada and not understanding that black people aren't 16th century peasants is unforgivable

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
