“Wrong priority, based on false information on a false threat. The real danger for our country is lack of education, hunger, homelessness, mental health denial, and an outdated infrastructure.”

In Response to: The $578 Billion Defense Budget for Fiscal Year 2017

“If our government can afford $500billion+ on its military, there's no reason our working citizens can't earn $13/hr minimum to cover basic needs costs. CEOs of large organizations should forgo their 5th vacation home and take a pay cut to avoid rising costs of goods. And small businesses should rece…”

In Response to: Should the Federal Minimum Wage Exceed $13 an Hour?

“This is about healthy competition. If NYC yellow cabs are losing business, improve your services. I tried to resist Uber for a while to support our cabs but couldn't hold out for long.. I get my ride in minutes, I don't have to fight anyone for the ride, I don't have to worry about payment, and I kn…”

In Response to: Should NYC respond to the growth of companies like Uber and Lyft by limiting for-hire vehicle licenses for one year?

“Yes this is long overlooked, my friend interned at Rikers (we were therapists in training) and shared with our class how he felt that a good third of the inmates were mentally ill and often mistreated by guards who are understandably frustrated cause they are not trained to deal with mental health.…”

In Response to: Should the Public Know the Precincts of Police Officers That Civilians Complain About Frequently?

“Anything to start encouraging people to reduce waste is a great step! Sure it will be annoying to get hit with 10c here and there, but we should be punished for destroying our planet.”

In Response to: Does NYC Need a 10¢ Plastic Bag fee?

“Comparing ratios will not solve anything! How about just spend the money to increase guidance counselors in schools, or therapists? If a school feels they need a certain amount of security, so be it. I am sure they do not want their school to feel like a prison if they could help it.”

In Response to: Counting the Ratio of Security Guards to Guidance Counselors in NYC public schools

“I initially voted nay, but then thought about it more and changed my vote. Language is very important, and 'mental defectives' can later be misused. I would hate it if all white supremacists who would never admit to needing therapy be armed, while all the neurotics in cities couldn't! I want tighter…”

In Response to: Should a Rule Requiring the Gov't to Add “Mental Defectives” to a Criminal Background Check Database be Repealed?

In Response to: What's Congress Voting On? Week of January 30, 2017

“This kind of legislation automatically criminalizing women for their decisions. You assume these women are reckless sinners, when in reality, they are making difficult, traumatizing decisions based on circumstance and logic. Each case is different, please offer women the choice when they need it mos…”

In Response to: Repealing Parts of the ACA, and One-Year Cuts to Federal Funding for Abortion Providers

“If this was truly a pro-life initiative, you would also be paying for the baby/child AFTER he or she is born. Until then, I perceive this kind of legislation punishment for women, not holding the fathers (men) accountable, and condemning that baby to enter a household who could not provide, hence st…”

In Response to: Should "Life" be Legally Defined as Beginning at Conception?

“I am actually torn on this. I've been a therapist for veterans and see hey desperately need our help, it is completely unfair the living conditions/mental disorders we have left most of them in. But I also agree our infrastructure is embarrassing to call ourselves 'first world.'”

In Response to: $81.6 Billion in Funding for the VA, Military Construction, and Zika in FY2017

“Besides abortion (and I know this word scares men), women's healthcare includes countless things. Birth control alone can be used to control periods and prevent anemia, intolerable pains and cramps etc. That is way more productive for a functional human to take than viagra!”
