The Starbucks CEO is paid $95.8 million a year. The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year, which is barely enough for a living wage here in the middle of nowhere, let alone #NYC or #California. (Americans for Tax Fairness) #1u
I've said it before and I'll say it again: #CongestionPricing is too little, too late. It's even worse since Hochul watered down the fees.
But pedestrianizing huge portions of Manhattan? Now *that* is the shit!

A secluded alley in Japan…
…Village, in Brooklyn, NY. Japan Village is actually a bustling marketplace occupying two buildings, and this may be the only “secluded alley” it has. It’s a lovely sliver of quiet where I can pretend I’m elsewhere, if just for a moment.
Sharing this as an homage to all the great Japan street photography I see on this app, but have never had the chance to try myself.😊

“Verloren im Dunst” / Lost in the mist
An old favorite. I was aiming for a simple image of Manhattan buildings in fog, when this gull decided to contribute. Best photobomb ever.

Report: "Jewish groups condemn ADL's 'Mamdani Monitor' as blatant Islamophobia"
A coalition of Jewish groups have criticised the Anti-Defamation League & vowed to work with Mamdani:
"NYC Jewish communities repudiate the ADL's blatant Islamophobia: You won't divide us from our neighbors. We congratulate mayor-elect Zohran K. Mamdani on his election & applaud his vision for a New York City that is free from hate violence".

keep telling anybody who will hear me: #nyc is blessed with the largest concentration of antizionist Jewish communities in the world.
Mandami won the Jewish vote thanks to Joe Biden’s mendacity. the way he treated students protesting #Gaza #genocide unified them against the leadership of the Democratic Party.
i still remember when zionism was considered extremist. even back in the 1990s it was vulgar in nyc to call someone a zionist.
Rabin’s assassination & 9/11 changed that.

Skurrile Hobbys/quirky hobbies
Around the time I started doing more street photography I was also having considerable back pain and having problems sitting. I started to notice abandoned chairs on the streets of NYC. So my quirky hobby became taking photos of abandoned chairs 🪑 #NYC #Photography #AltText #BlackAndWhite #StreetPhotography #Chairs
