Before Hudson Yards went up that space was mostly empty. I’ve also seen lines of buses parked under the FDR downtown.
I worked in Manhattan and had coworkers who lived in Pennsylvania. Two hours each way. A story I heard was that a bus company recruited drivers who would get up at 4am, pick up passengers, drive to the city, and then go to another job. 6 pm they get in the bush and drive home.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote that all you have to do is mimic the look on their faces. Soon you’ll find your mood changing.
He earned the contempt of almost all of New York.
This is how he was given a golden opportunity to get in good with the Manhattan highrollers, and how he threw it away through his own stupidity, greed, and arrogance.
Now you’re plumbing the depths in search of cuteness.
lol!
You scared me! When you said “The most Trump thing ever” I thought you meant something I’d posted!
The wicked flee where no man pursueth!
Glad you liked the article, please share it out.
My favorite Trump story.
He had a golden opportunity to get in good with the real Manhattan elites, and he ended up making himself a pariah through his own greed, stupidity, and arrogance.
Your comparisons of a modern doctor to Marilyn Monroe…
I compared Monroe to Taylor Swift.
I compared the doctor to a plumber.
That’s the other crazy thing. Look at all the millionaire actors and music stars. They have much bigger incomes than past artists, but is Tom Hanks or Taylor Swift really that much richer than John Wayne or Marilyn Monroe? A doctor today is giving his family the life a moderately successful plumber had 50 years ago.
Civil service still provides pensions.
If voting didn’t work, the GOP wouldn’t be trying to prevent people from voting.
If you don’t like the Dem candidates in your area, you can contribute to AOC or Omar.
Not an expert, but I’d guess that automats were an urban phenomenon that were displaced by the post-war boom in cars. You sat and ate in at an automat. There was no take out window. A quick look shows that the last one in New York closed in 1991. Also found an article saying they might come back
Just to add, Reagan ‘deregulated’ the hell out of the economy. It gave America a phoney boom in the 1980s.
In 1980, ‘middle class’ was still one Union job supporting a family of four, and $1 million was considered a vast fortune. By 1992, middle class was two incomes to keep the house going, and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
When FDR created the minimum wage he explicitly stated that someone making it should be able to live in some comfort. That meant not just food and shelter, but some savings and a chance to have a few nice things.
In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour. The average house was $11,000.00. Two people could eat and go to a concert for $5.00. In those days, $1 million was an incredible fortune.
At the time of Watergate there about fifty major media companies in the USA. The law limited the number of TV and radio stations any one group could own. Today there are six big players who control news and information.

This story explains a lot.
Back in 2016, after the election was over, they assembled a panel of the creators of all the top political TV shows. Veep; House of Cards; The west Wing; Scandal and others.
Everyone involved said the same thing. If one of their fictional characters had said that they “liked soldiers who didn’t get captured” the TV networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be thrown out of the race by the next episode and be shown as hated by all Americans.
Do a search of Trump fondling Ivanka. Dozens and dozens of pictures they happily posed for.
A lot of what people call maturity is really just being too tired to try something.
