OMG! I thought a nice chunk of MTA’s budget was going towards lawsuit payouts (like NYPD payouts) so where is the bulk of the MTA budget going towards? Because a lot of employees died & retired recently & I doubt that they hired any employees. They hired P/T consultants to clean the trains that worked for agencies, not MTA! They need to open the books because I’m sure there’s a lot of mismanagement going on

And the idiots who come up with foolish ideas like this are usually the ones in an office, making the 6 figures, who most likely do NOT take the train, so they have NO CLUE in what’s really needed & what can logically work in the subway. Smh

A lot of men who go into police, security guard/bouncer, correction officer, etc work are men with anger issues, who used to be bullied when young & are looking to exploit the little bit of ‘power’ that they get from these types of jobs & take out all their frustrations & aggressions on the people they happen to come in contact with

How long does the average lawsuit last from beginning to end? From starting the lawsuit through case closed/payment?

Oh ok, I was just curious. Thanks for replying!

Niiice. Question? Did you start as a teller & work your way up to Director?

My goodness! What type of work do you do in order to be able to pay that kind of rent?

I agree but it’s much easier to respect an area when it at least looks like it should be respected. If the lights are dim or broken opposed to being bright, if the elevator is at least cleaned once daily, has cameras & is running regularly then people will be more inclined to respect it, take care of it & not destroy it.

Where is she from? Usually, people I know who spell their last name ThomPson, with the P are Jamaican…

I think they need to go back to the old school style of having a ‘super’/‘maintenance man’ that actually lives in the building. 1 super per 40 - 50 apts. The super/maintenance man is basically a handy man who can fix small issues - light carpentry, painting, minor electrical & plumbing issues. They also need to have plumbers, electricians, HVAC, elevator repairman’s, etc. on staff who actually works for NYCHA & are dedicated to each project building instead of bringing in expensive contractors.

Of course the buildings will go into disrepair if they aren’t maintained on a regular basis. NYCHA management needs an overhaul. It doesn’t make any sense for there to be so many 6 figure employees working for NYCHA & for NYCHA to be the mess it is.

Also, if the buildings were maintained, the people will feel more pride in their environment & take care of their apts & buildings which in turn would decrease loitering, destruction of property & crime. It would be a win-win.

Good one 😂

I would hate to be the owner of that truck!

Well the Black women I knew who had babies & this is before the 3 year old universal Pre K was started, we all had our children (younger than 5 y/o since once they turned 5, they went to kindergarten) we all had them with a paid babysitter or for the fortunate ones who had a family member who stayed home, like a retired grandmother, they were the ones who babysat our children because welfare is not a sufficient lifestyle for us.

We wanted more than ‘project living’. We all worked, we didn’t want to eat once a month when food stamps were given out or live where only Section 8 is accepted. 75% of the women I know are all home owners & those that are still in apartments pay their rents with no public assistance.

Please don’t believe all of what the Republican leaning media wants you to believe. The majority of Black women out here are working hard for their money & not sitting around waiting on hand outs & public assistance.

So basically we didn’t have a choice to simply not place our children at day care or with babysitters because we HAD to work & was working before getting pregnant & had to go back to work WAY before they turned 3 y/o.

They just want to spew their prejudices about Black mothers not working & sitting home on welfare when statistics show that white people collect benefits more than Black people smh. Every Black woman I know work & work hard.

And the landlords want you to add another zero to that figure 😂

What was the name of the section in Craig’s list where people would write similar things like this? Was it ‘missed connections’ or something like that?
