from the desk of Bill (not IB)
I saw the articles about NYC cracking down on large-sized drinks containing sugar, and thought it ludicrous.
I saw the articles about NYC cracking down on foods containing sodium, and thought that at some point, common sense would prevail against the minions of political correctness.
But – sugar and salt are merely the tip of the nanny-state iceberg. You have no right to drink a Big Gulp, and you have no right to have your order of fries (be it small or super-sized) served with the merest whiff of salt unless there is a warning label the size of Bill Clinton’s ego™.
But fortunately, all is not lost. In NYC you DO have a God-given right to take a piss wherever and whenever you want to.
Are you standing in the middle of Grand Central Terminal, having taken your freedom in your hands and quaffed down a 128 ounce “Jumbo Super Mega Gulp” which has for some reason caused you to have a full bladder? No problem, just pick a convenient wall, ticket booth, or whatever else you happen to spot, and “do what comes naturally”.
Were you walking along Broadway in the Theater District when you suddenly couldn’t “hold it” anymore? Don’t worry, just step into the lobby of any nearby building and relieve yourself at your leisure.
Do you simply not want to be bothered with having to find a bathroom when you feel the call of nature? That’s quite alright, it would be oppressive, racist, and bigoted to expect you to inconvenience yourself by searching for toilet facilities; your health may depend on not stressing your kidneys. And who wants a police record for public urination? (Remember the “Seinfeld” episode in the parking garage, where Jerry and George both get caught relieving themselves?)
Are you sitting on the subway, and the next station is just “too far away”? Well, by all means, let it flow, let it flow, let it flow… (and on many trains, that means the folks on either side of you will get to share your generosity!)
You think I’m joking, right…
New York City To Allow Public Urination, So Minorities Can…
Public urination in New York becomes Test Case for Policing
As I’ve mentioned before, in one of my previous lives I spent a LOT of time in NYC. And early every morning (7:00AM-ish) when I walked from my apartment to my workplace (a straight shot on Park Avenue) there was a daily routine taking place all around me; maintenance staff hosing down the sidewalks in front of just about every building to get rid of the night’s accumulation of urine.
The real irony is that it is now a much more serious offense in NYC to fail to pick up your dog’s droppings than it is for a man or woman to stand in the middle of any street, expose themselves and urinate.
How in the WORLD have things gotten this bad?
Decent people must have a compelling reason to remain in that toilet.
Take a pee for Billy de!
NYC decriminalizing public urination and LAPD ignoring shoplifting theft of less than a thousand dollars is part of a plan to make our cities more hospitable to expected illegal hordes coming to a metropolitan area near you soon.
Piss on New York, it looks better underwater anyway!
Shoplifting rises after ballot measure passes in California
By Don Thompson
Associated Press May 14, 2016
ROCKLIN, Calif. (AP) — Perry Lutz says his struggle to survive as a small businessman became a lot harder after California voters reduced theft penalties 1½ years ago.
About a half-dozen times this year, shoplifters have stolen expensive drones or another of the remote-controlled toys he sells in HobbyTown USA, a small shop in Rocklin, northeast of Sacramento. ‘‘It’s just pretty much open season,’’ Lutz said. ‘‘They’ll pick the $800 unit and just grab it and run out the door.’’
Anything below $950 keeps the crime a misdemeanor — and likely means the thieves face no pursuit and no punishment, say retailers and law enforcement officials.
I’ve been offered jobs in the city.
There is no way I could work in that crowded slave ship of an island.
Don’t care for that style of writing where every single sentence contains an exaggeration or absurdity. The actual situations are crazy enough without the embellishments.
First the size of drinks. Then sugar and salt. But they are not arresting minorities who pee on the sidewalk. They will, however, fine the hell out of you if you don’t say “she” to a he who has lopped off his weewee.
New Urinal City.
Not everything you post is Front Page news
Actually, most don’t get the shlong slonged off. They are not dick-free.
Ballot measure? Whodafuk would vote for that?
Everything will have to be behind locked doors, like cigarettes.
F’n California. Wish I could leave.
Stupid genes? Too many people hit with stupid stick?
I used to commute to St. Louis. Walking at lunch time by some areas on the way to St. Louis Center, there was a big stench around any vacant buildings. UGH.
Local TV covered a story about the metro restoring the underground and displacing the people living in the old tunnels for the new rail system. Used to have panhandlers.
I had business cards that had a location and number to contact for homeless, jobless, whatever problem. I would hand it to them, and tell them, they’ll give you a meal and help you find a job. They didn’t want no stinking job.
Sometimes they cussed me out, but I only paused long enough to hand them the card, and kept walking briskly.
I lived in New Jersey right out of college. One of my first days of work I went with my boss into NYC and the client was driving us to the site. I was taking it all in.
Waiting for a light to turn, a homeless gal standing at the crosswalk waiting, spread her legs a bit, bags in both hands, and peed as she waited. At least I was smart enough to not interrupt my boss and the client with “Did you see THAT!?”
