More crap from New York

I work from home so it didn't effect me very much.

However, the flooding of the subway tunnels was a major problem. The transit authority records about 4 million riders a day on the subway, plus hundreds of thousands more on the regional rail systems. The disruption was massive because of the population density here. People depend on transit here because 90% of us don't have cars.

More than 8 million people live in NYC. That's about the same as the next three largest cities in the USA combined (Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston). If all three of those cities had been hit by a big weather event, it would surely be big news, too.

Back to work...

it's a terrible place to live if you did not grow up on the east coast. every guy is like 5'8 with greasy black hair and one long eyebrow. they all have this fake atitude of wanting to be some kind of mafioso tough guy. it really is ridiculous. each girl has this bitchy attitude with a nasal voice to go with it. they all want to know what kind of car you drive and where you work. the only saving grace is the meatpacking district, where alot of non indigineous people go. further, traffic SUCKS. the drivers REALLY SUCK. everyone is angry at the world there. and for what reason i have no idea. they are rude, abrasive, and just plain miserable people. i put in for a transfer out of there after only 9 months.

Wow, way to over generalize.On behalf of the entire city (because I, too, can generalize): good riddance.

Nice piles of erroneous culutral cliches. I've lived here 30 years and don't a single person even vaguely like what you describe.

Due to the subway issues this morning, one of my coworkers walked 3 miles to work, and another walked 5. Are any of the cows in Chicago walking that far to work?

We'll, I happen to be a "Chicago cow" that lives almost exactly 3 miles from my office in the loop and often walk home from work, but not so much before because of time. I run 70 miles per week and do those miles in the morning. If you are every in town look for the 6'3" cow running by the lake.

Thank you though for perpetuating the stereotype people are picking on and tell Donald Trump we all prefer that he stays there.

Is anyone is Boston who isn't following that stupid red line walking that far? Are any of the Phily Cheesesteak eating fatties in Philadelphia walking that far? No? Okay.

Really, how do you know they walk more than people in Philadelphia or Boston or Chicago?

Quit talking out of your ass.

I gotta admit, there are a lot of cows in Chicago, LA, and Houston, Good god in houston.

Now, while Zoltan is an idiot, thinking somehow I meant that NYC sucks, because it doesn't, or that its inefficient, which it isn't its very efficient, he doesn't understand the body of my message. NYC consumes more resources and is a general indicator of things to come. Power outages, Steam vent explosions, and Subway outages now, the rest of the country will be seeing the same shortly. and everyone in america is fat ok ZOLTAN? (wasn't that the leader of that cult in Dude where's my car?) NYC is no exception, and how the HELL do you know how much they walk? Do you count miles with them? No one in this country walks.

Just take a look at all the phat PWWwwwwwwwweeeeerrrrrtoooos! Are they walkin'? No, they're getting fatter by the second with their welfare money HARD WORKING people paid for, blue red or otherwise.

ANd the Red states make most of the food in this country, so if you want to keep eating, or drive your car on ethanol, STFU. thanks.

ZOLTAN

A cow, what are your PR's? I've been looking for some Training partners for awhile.

It's not a huge news story when the East Coast gets 6 inches of snow.

Peeps, you are no candidate to be calling anybody an idiot. And most of my food comes from New Jersey.

In fairness, you really can't walk anywhere in LA, except around whatever town you're in. Too delocalized.

Actually, the Meatpacking District is the place in New York that sucks the most. And nobody asks what car you drive, because most of us don't own cars, unless we are seriously from the outer boroughs, which I'm guessing you never visited.

Where you from, by the way?

I live in New York, and it is the center of the universe, but I love how the local TV newscasters never remember about the past. I heard one today say: "This has never happened to the New York subways before!". Granted, the disruptions may have been bigger and longer today than in the past, but I remember many, many times where the subways have been all screwed up after a large amount of rain in a short amount of time hits New York. Hardly a surprise. And you hear the same old stories about how the pumps are outdated and insufficient.

All ridiculous regional chest thumping aside, the above quote is interesting to note with the recent talk of the crumbling infrastructure in much of the country (see: 35W bridge). I ride the NYC subway every day, and though I usually don't let it enter my mind, there's no question that it's often held together with kite string and chewing gum.

Oh no, it rained! wrote:

For a city that is supposed to be so advanced over the rest of the world, why is it they get so hysterical over some rain or snow and the public transportation shuts down?

And every time there's a little mudslide or fire in SoCal and people lose their houses because they built them on the side of a cliff or in tinder-dry chaparral...wow, we have to watch it on cable news every 22 minutes. Every f**king day.

wow, you are retarded. Thats where its canned. Do you really think its grown there? hahahaha.

really another sign of the apocalypse. A New Yorker thinks his food comes from New Jersey. lol. It comes from much further than that. Really, please stfu in the future, kay?

(My bolding.) Yes, that was the dead giveaway. Claims to have lived in NYC for 9 months, describes the populace in terms of 1950s Italian/Jewish ethnic caricatures he's seen on TV...and then forgets that people in New York DON'T ask you what car you drive.

Oops!

I found a picture of i love peeps:
