Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 30/01/2026If PATH were modernized, this would shrink NY property values while exponentially increasing values in townships that are adjacent to NYC. Upper middle income families are already moving across the river; this would accelerate it. 100
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 30/01/2026I’m not familiar with the bilateral income tax agreement, but New Jersey benefits tremendously from its proximity to not only NYC but New Jersey. If NJ genuinely cared, they would do everything to rebuild Newark into a stalwart, not just another suburb of NYC. 200
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Wouldn’t Garcia ameliorate this gap? She specifically wants to target PATH, a bi-state system, and bring it to modern metro levels. That will tremendously benefit NJ more than NYC. 100

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 08/02/2025The loss of regional banking has led to a lack of community around the country. Regional banks supported the housing markets of local economies, created jobs, and provide opportunities for those local entrepreneurs. The strength of regional banking comes from education.

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Do Liberals seriously think that the voting population cares about anything that Trump and Elon are doing? What they are doing is wrong, but it clearly does not matter. The populace do not care, and there is going to be a reshaping of culture in the United States. 000
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Do you seriously think they will be against him? The military adores and boot licks Trump like no other. 120

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 21/01/2025This likely isn't the right time to post this, but here are some images to brighten up your day: 020
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog is coming to The Met...I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT IN PERSON! Aside from the Black Paintings of Goya, this is one of the few portraits that I've been dying to see from abroad. 010
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Shunji Iwai is slowly turning into my favourite director and film writer. I am in love with how he deals with adolescent isolation, identity, and existentialism. Interestingly, I find that Kantian ethics has a role in his films, especially on the topic of morality. 000
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 08/01/2025We allowed nearly all of our products to be made by sweat shops in China, but this is where we draw the line? lol. 100
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 05/01/2025One of the best articles I have read in a long time, but I felt so disheartened reading it. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...propublica.orgA Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends.... 010

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Glad you enjoyed it! I also took your recommendation and watched Un Coeur en Hiver! Aside from the beautiful pieces being played, I enjoyed its portrayal of admiration. No matter how much we admire or love someone, there are times when we won't be able to have them for ourselves. We see them from- 110
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Or...maybe we should abolish the program and ensure these people go through traditional routes, no matter how arduous the process is. 000
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 03/01/2025The nostalgia of the 50s, 60s, and 70s can largely be described as much of the employment being local. This allowed communities to grow, mom and pop shops to blossom, and the quality of life improving. Once that was shifted away, we only saw affluent communities fence away these opportunities. 000
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I think we should look at this from a different perspective: why aren't institutions look to hire, train, and guide Americans in the same way they are looking to hire H1-B applicants and to some extent migrant workers? Corporate profits are through the roof, which answers that question well. 100
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I try to take a break from social media when I realize that I am posting too much, haha. It has worked quite well, and it has forced me to read, watch films, go outside, and just be productive in life. 110
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 31/12/2024The self-centeredness of society has pissed me off in unimaginable ways. I can't help but wish we grow as a collective, but those dreams of mine seem so far gone. 010

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 14/12/2024It’s somewhat insane that at a point where the native born population is shrinking, birth rates are declining, and inflation has yet to stabilise, the orange man wants to conduct mass deportation LOL. 000

Of course I’ll share it with you, here, have a bite. Of course I’ll eat what you made even though it’s probably inedible. Of course. Of course. 1137781
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Beautiful American cities tend to have revolutionary architects, ones that create a style that permeates throughout: Chicago: Burnham Washington DC: Gilbert/Russell Pope NYC: Gilbert/McKim, Mead, and White Richmond: Thomas Jefferson 020
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 13/12/2024How come we don’t construct brick viaducts for trains anymore? Seems like the infrastructure is sturdy enough to last centuries (ie Park Ave Viaduct) and they are quite pleasing to the eye. 020
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Ah, sadly that’s a bit too far from me :( my commute doesn’t drop me off at Penn Station, which is directly next to the HL. 100
Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 13/12/2024What are some places in midtown you’d like to see photographed? I’m thinking of taking some early pictures of Tree at Rockefeller, the Atlas, cathedral row, and of course, Grand Central (my beloved). 110

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Absolutely insane that much of the green areas in the original Parkchester development were removed in the 70s-2000s in favour of more parking, lol. If anything, the area has lost so much of its original charm. The theatre, the diners, the abundance of mom and pop shops; we no longer see them. 010

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I had a surreal experience today. After I watched All About Lily Chou-Chou, I had a revelation. It felt like I understood everything in my vicinity. I wonder if this is normal, perhaps this film had quite the impact on me. 000
