Like what, masks? No one cares about having to wear masks, and they’re already loosening those measures anyways. Like it was just never a political priority. What pointless mandates?

Some internet comments from allegedly Taiwanese accounts seem really insignificant compared to an actual country (that was actually doing well public health-wise) being excluded from the WHO during a global pandemic.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the assessment — I think you are right. But that still doesn’t answer the question of what the solution is.

It seems like people either were saying “Stop listening to Republicans” or “Vote Republican” (or some other variation) during the election season. Now that that’s over, I am wondering if anyone has any non-political ideas of what a solution might look like.

I think these threads can be constructive given crime is on a lot of people's minds. Anecdotally, I do feel like the city has gotten less safe and at the same time have noticed recent uptick in police presence on streets and in subway stations, yet I don't know how helpful that is.

Now that the elections are over, I am curious to hear people's thoughts on two fronts:

• If you don't feel like crime is a problem in NY, what do you think needs to be done to reassure people who feel otherwise?
• If you do feel crime is a major problem in NY, what do you think the solution is? Or what can ordinary NYers do?
