  • Undesirable as in run down and higher crime. The closest area to me I have in mind is one that pretty regularly has stories about “MS-13” members using a machete on some poor fool.

    I’ll put it another way, I’m looking to get OUT of NY. This is a state for the already established, rich, or professional class.

    As far as wages to match higher costs, not sure what the going rate is elsewhere but for a low end position, something like McDonald’s/Taco Bell could pay ~$18/hr here but the spread is also abysmal, going from those kinds of jobs “upward” you kinda max out at $22ish/hr starting.



  • You would almost certainly NOT be able to survive part-time unless you had roommates and lived in a rather undesirable location. I’m a full time supervisor in a factory and if I want any kind of savings whatsoever I have to rent basements/garage “apartments.” I currently live in a garage…

    This is long island though, I don’t have much experience with “upstate/greater NY” but from what I gather it’s not much easier. Rent alone around here goes $1400/month+ and that’s the “cheap” side.













  • Only a profound and painful self-examination of our identity, what the splendid guardians of this experiment that started 250 years ago are demanding, can help to stave off the ominous possibility that years from now the country will be facing a repetition of the current terrifying crisis.

    Sooo… Not happening. No small part of Trumps coalition of fuckwits were people that were made to be furious about any self-examination. They called us traitors and people who just hate America. They claim, while we’re currently fucking doing it, that America was never imperialist, never subjugated other nations forcing our will onto them to extract their resources. They deny the crimes of slavery and essentially any negative aspect of our past. Any self-examination will only be done by people that already understand who we were and what we still contend with and while that process happens the Reich wing media, the propagandist twitter/YouTube grifters, will all pounce on it and again rile up the conservative base, pointing their anger at “crazy communists who lie about our past and hate America.”

    Hell asmongold the Reich wing fucking cancer on YouTube already said as much, it’s his “job” to piss off right wingers enough by showing them this stuff to get them voting how he wants them to. You may think someone like him is irrelevant, but after a couple of hours, not days, he has hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of views. 800k on some shit video about the new “Goldstein” to hate.
