I did NOT vote for Mayor Adams. I voted for Curtis Sliwa. That said. Adams is far better than our last mayor and his thieving wife. Adams tried passing a crime bill to arrest for petty crime and bring back a working bail system. He was flatly rejected by 90% of the City counsel. As far as his alleged crimes. Dubious at best. Lawfare for publicly going against the migrant narrative. If Adams is removed from office, his replacement Jumaane Williams will be far more damaging to this city. One BILLION dollars of public funds were "lost" by Mayor DeBlasio's wife. No investigation whatsoever. Adams takes some perks and helps out a few friends (nothing new for NYC politics) and it's a federal investigation to bring down him and everyone he knows. Sound familiar?

[@onpoint2292]

@Kewrock Sounds very familiar. My eyes almost rolled out of their Socket when NYC started prosecuting Trump for how he ran his real estate business. Especially when people online were calling Trump a scammer for lying about the square footage of his properties...

It's insane that your old apartment complex kept getting broken into. My grandfather's $850/mo. apartment complex, in a very low-rent high-crime neighborhood in San Antonio, had its office in the lobby, across from the mailboxes. It had an armed staffmember in the office all day, and armed security sitting in that office, looking out the window to cover the lobby doors and mailboxes at night. He had to buzz people through both sets of doors to enter. Sure, sometimes people smashed in to try to steal boxes, but they almost always got arrested! The same armed security company patrolled the parking, and would quickly respond to detain car thieves and burglars on notification from the man watching monitors in the office. $2200/mo. versus $850/mo.

I had an old roomate who stole my toilet paper. The guy was just an 455-hole.😂

[@rossmanngroup]

He did you a favor. Get a bidet. If I shit in your hand, would you wipe it off with paper towels, or would you run to the nearest sink & wash your hands with soap? Further, you get another added benefit with a bidet. You're taking a shit and then wiped as much as you can. And if you used wet toilet paper with soap and water, felt good. And then 45 minutes later felt like there was something there? When I say feel like there's something there, some itching sensation of some sort. That's because there's stuff that's still up there that moves around, and makes its way to your skin. One of the benefits of a bidet is it's like mouthwash. When you brush your teeth, no matter how good you brush, there's usually some crumbs still around in your mouth. And the same is true for your asshole. You don't just brush your teeth, you also use mouthwash. The same is true with a bidet. Water rushing in there, if you use it properly, will be like mouthwash for your asshole and to the ends of your intestine and get rid of any crap that's still up there so that once you are done using it, you can rest assured that there is nothing still up there, guaranteed. He did you a favor by getting rid of your toilet paper. He's giving you an opportunity to try a bidet, which will be a life-changing experience for you. No longer will you have to deal with using toilet paper, seeing crap on the toilet paper, or still having crap on your ass. If you are using dry toilet paper, you have crap on your ass skin - RIGHT NOW! The same way that I would have crap on my hand if I used a dry paper towel to wipe your shit off of my hand. Don't discriminate. Treat the skin around your asshole any worse than you would treat the skin on any other part of your body. I treat my kitty the way I would want to be treated. This video advocates for treating squirrels the way you would want your own animals to be treated. And I am going to continue in that vein of anti-discrimination, in suggesting that you treat your asshole skin the same way you would want the skin on your hands or face to be treated. Your asshole skin is no less important than the skin on your face, or hands, nor is it any less worthy of being cleaned properly. Think about it.

Lois' pet what's?

[@PotentialEnder]

The "I was only following orders" people still exist and will always exist.

[@lecrab]

Be well, Louis. We love you. And you're right.

NYC is a funny animal in the words of my deceased family members.

[@pranjal3727]

My entire country was mad for getting into US and Canada. The dream destination changed from Americas to Europe to having a home in India itself anywhere in the mountains of Uttarakhand and Himachal

[@peterixxx]

Home in the mountains sounds nice.

[@alexhichamk6630]

I have your picture (the one when you did a full breakdown for apple shit when u were outside when the sorrounding of your eyes were dark the most)in my desktop, it reminded me that hard work pays off and the prove is this guy that doesn't sleep that is bringing down trillion dollars companies to their knees

[@macupie]

I slowly understand why the broken characters from the Friends series were living in NYC :D

[@greenbassboosts8872]

Nah

[@manuelcr7436]

Crime needs to be reported, even if just for the statistics

[@ElvenSpellmaker]

In the UK where I live they're sending people to prison for saying hurty words while rapists go free. A lorry (semi truck) almost went into me, my sister, her husband and their 6 kids on the motorway (highway) the other day on a trip back from Scotland as he didn't like us using a merge lane (as they're intended) and used his lorry as a weapon by veering into us to try to make us brake to go behind him in the other lane. Leeds police told me to wait for a while on the Live Chat and then came back saying as it was over half ah hour ago they could do nothing. As far as I can see they literally made me wait until they could do nothing. Absolutely insane.

[@Allen-by6ci]

Hey Louis.. awesome to see you again. I hope you had a fantastic time away from the interwebs.

[@ytnukesme1600]

New York is the way it is not just because of some politicians or legislations, while those do play a role it's mostly because of the complacency of it's residents. New Yorkers have accepted their fate and aren't really willing to do anything about it. be it because they way to broken down or simply don't care, doesn't really matter at this point, this place is not gonna change unless the people change themselves.

[@KevinVanGelder]

"Such health authority may, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE OWNER, if known, cause the animal to be destroyed immediately..." They violated the law, period.

[@rossmanngroup]

Only if it's a cat, dog, or ferret, not squirrel. Keep reading:'(

[@somedudeRyan]

The squirrel story sickened me. I share a lot of your experiences living in a crappy part of DC and with an idiotic DC bureaucracy. It's infuriating. Congrats on your escape Mr Rossmann.

[@NicolaiWeitkemper]

"destroyed" is a great choice of words when talking about killing an animal

[@SaperPl1]

Hey Louis - did you have a chance to discuss the so called "Malamud case" in context of the EU? It's about the right to free access to norms used in the EU law. I'm late to notice this, but on 5th of March this year EU court dismissed EU Commission's dismissal to request of releasing the norms to the general public. In short, it's about the fact that law doesn't apply to you if you need to pay to be able to read it VS EU commission ordering independent companies to prepare norms, paying for them and letting those companies keep the IP rights over those. The case number is: C‑588/21 P

[@charankol]

where is this man. I need to hear someone speaking sane things.

[@jamesj.7750]

Never forget peanut and fred.

[@cristianaguilar6569]

I feel your pain! RIP 🦫🦝

[@MiguelDeMarchena]

I Live in the DR and I have the laundry area and the sink outside of the house at an exterior balcony i live on a 3rd floor, from about 10 years ago it is impossible for me to leave cloths drying overnight or dirty dishes outside because they get stolen because: 1- I don't have the resources to build a cage around my house 2- I hate the idea to live in a cage just to keep the burglars out, with the involution of society there is no place on this planet devoid of evil people and a lot of inept politicians with their useless laws but with zero justice.

[@RockwellAIM65]

How could anyone possibly downvote this video? Nice job. #upvote

[@beboshi69]

This video moved me a lot. While memes were circling on X, I came to your channel because I immediately recognised what was going on here in light of your well documented struggles with the NY bureaucracy. This was not just a squirrel, it was someone's livelihood and joy. There's an old Star Trek episode called "Skin of Evil" that also came to my mind. The malevolent sentient blob of tar, called Armus, abruptly kills one of the main characters, Tasha Yar, without cause. Armus is a threat that the crew cannot reason with or make sense of despite all the knowledge and technology of the 24th century. Only now do I realise what Armus really represents.

[@Ipodman9]

That part of the end of the video is what I was thinking basically the whole part about the squirrel, someone comes to my house to try and take my cat. They ain’t leaving with the cat if they’re leaving at all.

[@Jim-vr2lx]

They do that sh1t with peoples kids!

[@okclm]

Welcome to Texas brother. We're glad to have you and Mr. Clinton here.

[@ebb2421]

should have repacked the used cat litter...

[@flatterkatz]

man, living in such a low trust society.. Wouldn't want that.. Here.. I got a business building nearby. Relatively often, a packet gets delivered there for a company that is not there, either it once was or someone must have confused addresses. Those packets often just lie there in the publicly accessible entryway for several days. I do not know where they vanish to eventually, maybe someone steals it in the end, maybe someone takes it on themselves to deliver it to or at least inform the real recipient, maybe the postman takes it back, I don't know. What I know is that this happened like 20 times since I live here and the packets always keep just sitting there unopened for days. Oh, and no, there are no cameras there. You literally could drive by in the late evening when the businesses are closed and take it and nobody would know.

[@FHL-Devils]

Very soon the only justice will be of the vigilante kind...

[@rickroller420]

Hey Luis have you thought about messaging Donald Trump and asking to talk to him about Right to Repair?

[@thomasdemoor874]

Yeah, that whole situation seemed a bit 'squirrelly '.

[@bretthutchinson5455]

Someone really needs to come up with a way to manage end point package delivery (Amazon Locker ->>free to install

[@Jim-vr2lx]

what did you do before Amazon? Just do that.

[@bretthutchinson5455]

​@@Jim-vr2lxLouis explains just how well that works

[@JacenGyde-wl7gj]

Hope your doing well Louis we need people like you in this world.

[@Slavolko]

Powerful words at the end. Mr. Clinton has the best owner.
