"Make sure you keep that misogyny in check there."

Nope, he pretty much hit the nail on the head there. Having a 4th generation business now when women left the office and started on the shop floor the difference was startling.

I'm certainly not sexist in any way, but women by nature are not the same as men at all in an industrial setting whatsoever, and just like a wife to get mad at a husband for doing something that they don't approve of, it was the same way at out shop too. Jumping on a skid and going up 20' to change a lightbulb with the forklift was not even given a second thought, but then OSHA comes in and lists it being witnessed by employees, all of which had worked there forever except for the new hires we brought in.

People making money off govt programs is a no-no.

The city council wants all the money for themselves.

Some street snitches are raking in close to $1 million apiece from the city just by recording videos of idling trucks and buses spewing air pollution...

Govt does not like to share their theft. And they promise to put a stop to it.

zero taxpayer money involved ... NYC makes a profit on the fines that result from private citizens providing the necessary evidence to levy said fines ... their real complaint is that they’re not getting 100% of the fines ... of course, if there’s no reward for citizens to provide the evidence, the amount of fines received drops close to zero ...
