IMO, the amount you’re going to be investing isn’t going to make a change, so you should invest in a low cost index fund and then find others ways to contribute to the world (especially your local community).

We are all individuals who can’t change the world by ourselves but we can impact the people around us through small acts of kindness and that impact will be MUCH greater than investing small amounts of money in “ethical” stocks.

We’re not happy if we’re not unhappy.

That’s significantly lower than NYC area which is already considered fairly priced compared to many surrounding areas.

My house is assessed at $650k (that’s nothing in NYC) and I pay around $5400 a year in property taxes.

Useful context. Thank you

Current mayor, Eric Adams, is a democrat also running as an independent because he’s corrupt as fuck and everyone dislikes him

As someone who lives in New York City, I am very surprised to hear that anybody anywhere pays sales tax on groceries.

Same in NYC

Man, I could never live with an HOA. It’s just dumb.

I’m going to need some therapy after seeing this

It’s an easy choice when the few or the one does not refer to oneself. However, when a person is asked to put the needs of everyone else above their own individual needs, it becomes a much more difficult conversation for any person to have.

I’m so mad I wasn’t the one to think of that.

I was in and out in 5 minutes. Four candidates ranked. Cuomo and Eric Adams were not in that group.

There are a number of progressive candidates (to varying degrees) on the ballot. Ranked choice is going to play a huge role in this one, I feel.

I didn’t get a chance to do early voting, but will be going tomorrow. Foreign policy is not something I’m concerning myself in any mayoral election. Also, however, of the four candidates I’m ranking, Cuomo is definitely not one of them.

Just as those good Christian voters wanted.

I just got myself an Onyx Boox Go Color 7 Gen II and I love it.

I wonder if Eric Adams is ok with the agents wearing masks. 🤔

If the data there is accurate, overall registrations dropped by 14.4% meaning Tesla did better than the industry average.

To be fair, didn't the Biden administration basically do the same thing? Israel seems hell bent on starting an all out war and, eventually, they're going to hit someone who is actually capable of hitting back in a concerted manner.

Powell and the Fed have done an amazing job of bringing down inflation in spite of TACOs tariffs and overall terrible economic policy. Powell deserves praise and history will probably heap it on him.
