We try to visit NYC often. We got married at a church in Fort Hamilton while my husband was guarding the subway system after 911. Now that I need to use a wheelchair (NYC is not wheelchair friendly), my husband has to drive everywhere. The extra expense would be outrageous for us. Please excuse handicap people outside NYC from having to pay this toll. Thank you!!
Disc golf is a affordable, accessible recreation that deserves a place in this city. This course has been a great escape and helped many discover a new park and new neighborhoods.
I played in the inaugural tournament here earlier in the year, the people who run the league/club are very nice and encourage people to join/play. It’s the only course NYC has access to, Long Island is also lacking additional courses leaving us to travel to New Jersey, Connecticut, Upstate, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts & more. Taking this away from the newly formed community around the course doesn’t make sense. Don’t let that bogus NYU professors article paint a negative picture of this park and disc golf.
Making Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
Many teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
Crimes involving suspects with mental illness has been at an all time high since COVID 19. Sanctuaries and programs that help both our youth and mentally disabled people have been shut down due to lack of funding yet our Mayor is under investigation for fraud and conspiracies. I wonder if there is a connection between the two. Anywho, there are plenty of people with mental illness who are not violent. What makes the difference between those who are violent and those who are not? The answer is the help they receive from both families and professionals. There is no reason a person with a mental disability should be excused from trial because they are "mentally unfit" to stand trial for a choice they made. What justice does that bring the victim and in this case a child? Again, there are mentally disabled people who are NOT violent. Suspects who claim that they are mentally unfit to stand trial should receive both help and still face trial in court.
