The CDC is so underfunded now that it's like: "Just remove the three outer layers of lettuce, so you don't consume any feces, then wash each interior leaf individually, so you remove any hidden feces. Good luck!"

It's also progressive to support well-run and well-operated public transit - perhaps more progressive than supporting the corrupt and backwards LIRR unions.

I am usually pro-labor but the LIRR strike is absurd they are already the best paid agency in the country and have tons of extremely generous benefits like 2x wages for working on 2 trains. and now they’re refusing a 4% raise? LIRR union is a perfect example of why US transit is so inefficient

Cash compensation for members of the five holdout unions averaged over $136,000 in 2025, according to M.T.A. figures, making them among the highest-paid rail workers in the nation.
Earlier in negotiations, the M.T.A. had also sought to eliminate a number of work rules that often require higher pay for certain tasks. The unions declined to do so.
For instance, if an engineer drives a diesel train at the start of a shift but is asked to switch to an electric train in the same day, the M.T.A. must compensate that worker with two days' pay. If, on the same day, the engineer is asked to switch from driving passengers to driving a train back to a yard for maintenance or storage, that worker is entitled to a third day of pay.
These penalty payments added almost 15 percent to the average engineer's compensation in 2024, the M.T.A. said.

My feeling about this protest is that the burden of proof for protesters at houses of worship should be much higher than at, say, consular offices, but that by advertising property in the occupied West Bank, this shul has crossed it. Doing that is a far bigger chillul hashem than the protests are.
