I've been in and out of Penn at least a thousand times and all of the memories that stick out involve vomit or low-speed car accidents.

1. Build a time machine;

2. Go back to 1985;

3. Take a chance on a plucky young cop with pie-in-the-sky dreams of convincing people that he's a democrat.

Depending on the ages of the kids it's practically compulsory to add in some sort of visual element to hold their attention. They've got bottomless reserves of stimulating content at their fingertips and many of them have been playing with smartphones and tablets since before they could talk. Child literacy rates are falling and we need to be open to anything that gets them reading.

I can't even tell you how many MTA employees came through my old firm looking to sue their foremen for racial discrimination, hostile work environment, retaliation etc. They're truly committed as an organization to fucking over anyone who isn't management.

"Oh look here's a claim where we definitely fucked up and are definitely going to end up paying. I could settle it right now for $250k or I could pay a legion of attorneys and paralegals several years' salary to be super obnoxious and then either settle it with interest or get taken to the cleaners by a jury. Yeah, let's do that, can't have those money-grubbing people we injure thinking we're soft!"

Shell corporations: not just for the private sector anymore!

Remember in 2017 when the entire upper management of the NYC Department of Corrections got slapped on the wrist for wild misuse of their city-financed vehicles?

They paid a few fines and got to keep their company cars and personal drivers. In a just world they'd be taking the subway with the rest of us.

You skate bro?

"Pups usually leave their parents’ home when they’re about six months old, but NYC coyotes sometimes choose to wait longer, up to more than one year."

Mother of god they've got their own Gen Z.

Unintended consequence = coyote / rat alliance seizes control of the upper east side
