The Upper West Side is about to become a commuter parking lot.

Already notorious for its scarcity of spaces, the parking situation on the UWS has reached new lows of desperation ahead of the mid-June implementation of the Big Apple’s much-maligned, five-years-in-the-making congestion parking plan, which the MTA’s board authorized last month.

“The situation up here is untenable,” said longtime West 79th Street resident Renee Baruch, who’s noticed a steady uptick since January in the number of cars with out-of-state plates circling her block each morning.

“They’re on Riverside Drive, on side streets, with plates from all over, and you’re seeing the same ones every day,” explained Baruch, part of a consortium of Manhattanites that continues to push pols for a parking permitting system.

Ahh, what will “We, The Sheeple” do?

I bet just suck it up and take it.  Death by a thousand cuts.  How do you eat a whole baloney?  Once slice at a time.

John Martin and Mike Sullivan, two half-brothers from Florida, have made a name for themselves using sonar technology to locate submerged vehicles and help solve cold case mysteries throughout the Sunshine State.

Why is it up to private citizens to do this?

Wild moment Florida mom is accused of CHILD TRAFFICKING at Ohio airport after traveling with her four-year-old son on Southwest flight

By Ruth Bashinsky For Dailymail.Com

*** begin quote ***

A ‘traumatized’ single mom has claimed Southwest Airlines accused her of child trafficking while she was traveling with her four-year-old son from Florida to Ohio.

Video footage shows the moment Mary Bridgetta Tomarchio, 45, was confronted by two armed police officers at at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on February 17 after receiving a suspicious report from ‘a pilot’. 

Tomarchio told DailyMail.com she thought the officers were joking at first but quickly became terrified as they questioned her and asked for proof she was his mother.

While “child trafficking” is a terrible problem, there must be a better way of checking?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Medicaid dollars have indirectly financed lobbying for more Medicaid dollars.”

Hamas hijacks British democracy, 1199SEIU’s money grab and other commentary

Eye on Albany: 1199SEIU’s Money Grab

A review of health-care union 1199SEIU’s disclosures this last decade reveals that “a quarter-billion dollars in Medicaid funds earmarked to improve nursing home care have instead flowed to a pair of benefit funds providing health coverage for 1199 members,” grumbles the Empire Center’s Bill Hammond. And some of that cash was diverted to a union project “sponsoring a multi-million-dollar TV ad campaign in support of higher Medicaid funding for hospitals.” That is: “Medicaid dollars have indirectly financed lobbying for more Medicaid dollars.” Meanwhile, the union’s National Benefit Fund, which had “a pattern of negative cash flow” from 2018 to 2020, restored “fiscal balance by increasing the contribution rates from its member employers — and by securing continued subsidies from the state.”

*** end quote ***

And, that is essentially the problem with Gooferment programs and Gooferment unions.

Of course, the “unions” provide “campaign” contributions and labor, so no conflict of interest there.

Can we say “self-licking ice cream cone”!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why not pictures on handicap placards?

Wednesday, February 28, 2024

Seems like a simple way to avoid abuse.  Just put the pictures on handicap placards of the authorized User.  

Easy way to fix the abuse that’s so obvious.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: CDC releases data and it’s stunning commnets

Sunday, February 25, 2024

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/cdc-releases-v-safe-free-text-data?publication_id=548354&post_id=141814150&isFreemail=true&r=onvra

CDC releases V-safe free-text data because they want everyone to know just how unsafe the COVID vaccine really is

  • Now, you can download the data and see for yourself what people reported.

Steve Kirsch

*** begin quote ***

Executive summary

The CDC has released the first drop of the V-safe free-text comments so everyone can see for themselves that the COVID vaccine has extremely serious safety problems.

There are nearly 400,000 comments in this release.

The only question is: why did they wait so long to do this?

In my opinion, these “customer testimonials” are the single best selling tool they have to get people to take the COVID vaccine.

The CDC should be running TV and newspaper ads! Something like “Are you unsure whether the COVID vaccine is right for you? Here is what our satisfied users had to say about this amazing product that will change your life, sometimes forever!”

*** end quote ***

Reading some of the comments — and being attuned to some of the various disastrous deaths and cancers that might be in some way related — I’ll pass on this chemistry experiment while sticking with the old traditional definition of vaccine. As always, YMMV.

Remember “they” redefined  “vaccine” to include this new genetic engineering technology.  Forced as many as possible to take it with intimidation, threats, and coercion.  Ignored the concept of “informed consent” and “my body; my choice”.  Gave Big Pharma complete immunity from lawsuits.  And, ignored vaccine injuries, sudden cardiac deaths, flawed “trials” (i.e., remember eliminating control groups). 

Never mind the whole safe and effective “horse pill” that won a Nobel Prize for eliminating river blindness.

Then we have the small matter of the “emergency use” while having a licensed product.

Sorry, but do what you want, but “no thank you” for me.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: rare disease isn’t so rare in Lehigh Valley Health Network?

Thursday, February 22, 2024

12 new families file class action lawsuit against LVHN, doctor accused of false diagnoses
69 News, Rob Manch Feb 16, 2024 

*** begin quote ***

An Easton couple has filed the second civil complaint against Lehigh Valley Health Network and Dr. Debra Esernio-Jenssen, who has been accused of intentionally misdiagnosing children as victims of abuse from their parents. 

Esernio-Jenssen is accused of systematically overdiagnosing children with a rare condition called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, in which a child’s caretaker makes up fake symptoms to make the child appear sick. She is also accused of falsely accusing parents of child abuse — which has led to some parents losing custody of their children or serving prison time, the lawsuit alleges.

The lawsuit lists a total of 17 causes of action against Jenssen, LVHN and other defendants. Among these causes are corporate negligence, medical professional liability (multiple causes), interference with parental rights, fraud and invasion of privacy.

*** end quote ***

Now the Gooferment is up to their elbows in the regulation of the Big Medical industry.  Of course, just “to protect us”!

I hope that some of these lawsuits reach the politicians, bureaucrats, and executives involved.

Bankrupt the people and organizations at fault.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: USPS mail delivery test — failed

We sent 11 packages with Air Tags through priority mail last month. Here’s where they went.

  • In January, we boxed up 11 packages with Apple AirTags and shipped them to different locations in the Houston area. The packages were tracked in real time.

Ultimately, only one package was delivered by the “expected” delivery date. In fact, it was early – arriving in just two days. The rest of the packages took up to five days to arrive.

    Jan. 26 ……… one package delivered

    Jan. 30 ……… three packages delivered

    Jan. 31 ……… three packages delivered

    Feb. 1 ………. four packages delivered

Pretty sad but to be expected.  I had a disappointing result with FedEx.  So what can you use?

Via International Man

*** begin quote ***

It’s almost always a mistake for foreigners to get involved in another country’s civil war, especially when it has religious overtones. It doesn’t matter which side you back; the people that you’re backing are not your friends, and the people on the other side will really hate you. It’s a no-win situation for the US. None of our business, with no upside. Except for US Government operatives who get to play bigshot.
