I'm familiar with that street but on my side of town no reason to ever go there.
My local counsel’s offices were there. I took and defended a LOT of depositions on that street.

I opened a door for a woman and she turned around in the crowded lobby and said it a very loud voice "You did not have to open that door for me because I am a woman" as people stared I said back in an even louder voice "I didnt I opened it for you because my grandmother raised a gentleman".
lol so just let the door close in her face, bet she’ll bitch about that

It was somewhat interesting until a couple of guys decided to use it as their personal chat room.

This will take months unfortunately


Who says the choice is going to be Trump's to make? Between the people who will have to open their businesses back up to feed themselves and the people who have just had enough of being stuck indoors for six weeks I could easily see a, for lack of a better term, mutiny where people just say frick this I'll take my chances catching the damn disease. Half a million dead does not effect this country as negatively as 40 or 50 million unemployed will. It's a hell of a lot easier to find replacements for the jobs left vacant by those people dying than it is to find jobs when no businesses are open. It may sound callous but it's the cold hard truth. This country will have plenty of feet to turn the pedals of the country when this passes. The hard part is going to be finding pedals for all of those feet that are left after all the treadmills have "Sorry but we're closed" and "Going out of business" signs on them.

Yep. Then look at Japanese trains/buses. They are crammed in, but everyone wears masks and many wear gloves.

No, it’s not

You are denying that NYC is crowded and there is trash everywhere? Bold claim

I certainly didn't.

I'm just trying to let people not latch on to false hope.

This will get ugly.

And it's a sad time for small business owners and the employees of those businesses.

Not sure how can you can construe that as a straw man.

You said his specific claims were exaggerations, I said they weren’t, you said they were again which I continue to disagree with.

It is quite literally the most crowded place in the country so...

I never said it wasn't crowded. I never even said that there wasn't trash around.

I said he exaggerated, and I stand by that. I'm in the city everyday, so I think I probably have more data to go on than he does.

Because DeBlasio and Cuomo are idiots and didn’t shut down travel to China for a month, then they downplayed the risk at the beginning, NY’ers still are going out and doing shite, and we live like fricking sardines. Manhattan alone has 1.6 million people and the upper west side where I live has a population of 214,000+ to put it in perspective.

I will say this, after all this bullshite I’m going to try like hell to get a job in Nashville or Birmingham so the family can make a move back down south. We were already thinking about it but this broke the camels back.

Perhaps your opinion is skewed because you are indeed there every day. His claims weren’t exactly outlandish.
