NYC Installs Cameras… To Rob The Poor

The city claims its expanded network of cameras will keep new yorkers safe, but critics say these devices will affect the city's least affluent the most. What do you think?

Nancy Pelosi & fan Crenshaw outperform the market and charity CEOs make 6-figure salaries... our government is rotten all over, where do you think the money goes? 😂

[@ThePandafriend]

Because printing money leads to inflation (amongst other negative things). It's normal to have debts as a state, that's an economic mechanism, but debts which are too high will cause problems.

[@moonasha]

You can easily look at where your tax dollars are spent. For the federal government for example, around 63% of the ENTIRE budget goes towards social security and medicare/aid, then another 4% on the national debt's interest, so that's around 70% of the entire budget right there not really doing anything tangible. I imagine NYC wastes a good chunk of its budget on services for people who aren't even legally in the USA, go look into it if you're curious. Long story short, the retirement age is rising before 2030, screenshot this. Those of us in our 30s or 20s will probably never get to retire. The reason we can't just print money to fix everything is the aforementioned 4%. The more money printed, the more that percent goes up. It's "free" money, but not really, we still have to pay it.

Some of the companies that regulates traffic lights have buildings that are working like a giant computer that are dissimulated into a office looking building when its like a factory inside.

They did something like that at most intersections in downtown Toronto. The Amber signal was always 4 seconds long. Now it’s half that, this isn’t really a problem if the street is always congested, but there are times even in Toronto when the streets reach the speed limit, this 2 seconds is not enough of time to stop. On top of that, a lot of intersections downtown now have a leading pedestrian interval, maybe if pedestrians followed the rules they wouldn’t get themselves into trouble in most cases. A leading pedestrian interval is a head start of around 3 seconds for the ped signal before the main signal goes green.

We're New York City natives, descendants of the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam. I'd gone back in 1970, was drafted, returned and gave up in 1979, 30 years before she left. The trip from Jamaica in Queens to the George Washington Bridge was horrendous. One of the problems was the jammed intersections. What will the red light cameras do about cars stranded in the intersections? Will they be ticketed as running the red light because they were stuck in the intersection? If they are stuck there after numerous light changes will the camera just keep ticketing them over and over?

In a 45 mph zone, the yellow light should last at least 4.3 seconds. Source: MethodShop
