Wow. Congrats breh. Good luck on your fellowship.

Mount Sinai's actually on my list of where to my summer research this year. It's either that, Albert Einstein Hospital, or Columbia.

Thanks breh, I'm not sure though.. The way y'all talking about the cost of living..:whew:..I got an offer for Buffalo SUNY too but I don't know if I could do Upstate at all.

we need to eliminate pensions for public employees until we can fund them responsibly :yeshrug:

im fine with people getting pensions, but not when the money that should be improving quality is going to someone who hasnt driven a train in ten years :camby:

if the money is there? pay em a fat pension, i dont care. but it IS NOT THERE and the systems are just an absolute mess

why the fukk dont we pay public employees MORE money while they're active, and let them invest in their own retirement like everyone else :what:

There is no poltical will for that in NYC. The unions hold mad power and it would be political suicide to reform pensions. We dont have a pension crisis like Chicago....yet.

MTA= Making Travels Antagonizing.

I was on the "express" 4 from Franklin to Utica this morning and it took 20 some odd minutes to get there and it's suppose to be just one stop. Was better off hopping on the local 3. Then I get up on utica to catch the b26 over to avenue D, pssssh! I seen about 10 b26's going in the opposite direction before one headed to Kings Plaza pulled up.

I won't even get into the other BS they do on a daily

I never understood how a world class city has such shyt transportation.
I mean well I guess I do, fukking crooks running it and crooked ass politicians.:francis:

It ain't world class. Especially with weak infrastructure and shyt Healthcare, along with low as standard of living for millions of working class people. :dame:

Face the facts. Greed will collapse NYC into another age of the wild wild west, like the 70s to early 00s culture.

The shyt that scares me is our fragile water supply. A friend of mine went an engineering presentation and they talked about how fragile our water supply is and how vunerable our tinnels
Smh we are lucky but if an earthquake or a Katrina category 5 earthquake hit us we are fukked! :francis: Our tunnel and pipe system is old as hell.

There's a fault line under Harlem...

Could a major earthquake strike 125th Street?
