Ripping through my group rn, myself included. This new brew seems to come up quicker, but so far more mild. Here’s hoping it goes as quick as it came. I was definitely eager to catch the new shot when it dropped but lol got the early access
I think a lot of people in this thread are missing the point. They didn’t refuse out of hate, they refused out of fear. There’s a Nazi problem in Florida right now, a lot of them target companies and organizations that teach about racism.
The JCC isn’t being a dick here, their being cowards.
There isn’t a Nazi problem in Florida as compared to anywhere else. Don’t let photos of actors in costumes and masks give you the wrong impression. Surprisingly, this was Boyton Beach which has a very strong Jewish community around it. Normally they wouldn’t care if this had disturbed someone.
Dude I’ve lived in Florida all my life. Trust me we have a Nazi problem. Shit has only gotten worse the past decade. It’s just actually being televised now because it’s becoming more of a main stream current issue. But I’ve seen this shit sense i was a kid.
If you think those videos your seeing are actors, my friend you have too much faith in humanity. I have old friends from highschool that I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they were part of those groups. People are hateful, spiteful people, especially here in Florida where it’s reinforced by community and now law.
While not all mt life, I’ve lived in Southern and Central florida for some time. Right now, I don’t see any larger problem with Nazis as anywhere else. What I do see is a bunch of guys all dressed up in costumes demonstrating against something or other trying to get their pictures taken with their cool masks on. These guys are from Maine but they act the fool here. There are a lot of red necks where I live but very few of them pledge allegiance to Hitler. But, you won’t find those that do in Boynton Beach.
Those are facts. Biggest problem areas from my experience are boon docks central and northern Florida. Central Florida around orlando and further south is still the same as it was a decade ago, not that bad, existent, but not that’s bad.
Yeah your right the dudes that were protesting in Orlando just recently were from Maine. But I think that’s the point. Those protest have been happening outside Disney for like a year, they just now are getting bigger, and people are traveling to attend them.
So while Boynton beach is in South Florida, it’s not that much of a hassle for racist to travel a few hours.
You have evidence that those people aren’t Nazis? That they were actors? I know people who could make you pretty famous if you could blow the lid off that.
Their organization True Blood or whatever it is is headquartered in Maine. If they’re nazis, and it would be fun to give them a knowledge test on that,they are Maine Nazis not Florida Nazis. They are here to get their picture taken. They dress up to do it. What do they call that? Oh yeah, acting.
There isn’t a Nazi problem in Florida as compared to anywhere else.
You’re getting down voted, but you’re right. The Nazi problem is national. From Florida to Maine to California to Washington to Wyoming, there are white supremacists finally feeling comfortable enough to come out of the woodwork.
Oh no lol, I counted 44 on my way to work this morning before I got to the main road. They’re in desperate need of a culling but no one hunts them anymore because there’s a bad case of Chronic Wasting Disease going around, now they’re just starving to death because they have no natural predators in this area. Although the town got its name from Chief Kill Buck who was a Delaware chief in the area and had a town near where the current town stands.
My town growing up (~2500 people) disbanded their police force in the 90s and just contracts out with the county. Small towns are generally fine without their own police force.
Okay, I consider myself pretty reasonable in the face of inconvenience, but there’s no way in hell I’d sit in a seat covered in vomit, and I’d certainly make a stink about getting another flight paid for. I know the flight crew probably didn’t have time to fully deal with the situation between flights, but the airline should have some kind of contingency for dealing with a potential biohazard situation.
I would suspect this was the actions of an individual at a particular JCC.
First 2 lines of the article:
“A Florida JCC canceled a Jewish author’s talk because her book mentions slavery.
The JCC later issued a public apology and re-invited the author, Rachel Beanland…”
The article does go on to say that she did speak at other JCCs in Florida.
(Opinion) I don’t doubt media is affecting the brains of the older folks down in Florida that are ripe for the influence and are spending far too much time in front of Fox News and the like. But let’s not make this a blanket statement against Jews.
BYD is closing in on Tesla in globsl EV sales. And most people in US and Europe have never heard of them.
The car in the US site at least looks great in pictures and is substantially cheaper than a Tesla. BYD US site on a side note, the US flags all over the US site are interesting.
As long as chinese cars pass local saftey regulations and arent as bad inteoduction wise as Vinfast (whose western introduction to the market was abysmal) they’ll do fine. The key is the UX, and if BYD repeats what vinfast did pushing a vehicle out the door too early, its going to be a bad time.
This does nothing to address NYCs actual housing shortage, and will hurt the market more than it helps.
New York City’s housing stock has only increased 4% since 2010, not nearly enough to keep up with its 22% increase in jobs. And from 2017 to 2021, New York City permitted 13 homes for every 1,000 residents in 2017
Housing stock isn’t just total number of housing units, it’s available housing on the market. This will absolutely free up property that’s been hoarded off for AirBNB rentals
I would be interested to see stats on the impact of this a year down the line. From what I’ve seen, Airbnb has a very tiny percentage of actual housing stock, but (deservedly) disproportionate impact on public perception.
I do actually think it’s a small percentage, but it’s been reported that a lot of realtors/landlords have been running AirBNB’s in empty units fraudulently in order to skirt laws and regulations. Not sure if it’s still happening (I saw this reported maybe 3 years ago now?).
Institutional landlords make up a large chunk of the housing stock though, we need to combat that as well.
