    Michelle Alyssa Go, 40, was pushed to her death in front of a train at a Times Square station on Saturday. The man who told officers that he shoved her onto the tracks was homeless and had a history of mental illness. The police have said there is no indication that she was targeted because of her ethnicity.
    ...
    “Our recovery is dependent on the public safety in this city and in this subway system,” Mr. Adams said on Saturday. “We can do that with the right balance, a balance of safety and a balance of proactively giving people the assistance they need when they’re in a mental health crisis.”
    ...
    In his first week in office, Mr. Adams and Gov. Hochul said they planned to have police officers conduct more regular sweeps of the subway system and announced efforts to expand homeless outreach teams. But New Yorkers to the left of Mr. Adams note that there has long been a heavy police presence in Times Square, and there were officers assigned to the station on Saturday.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - We should be solely and entirely focused on raising up the poor regardless of what’s happening at the top. This idea that it’s a zero-sum game is a fallacy. There are more $100k+ a year jobs available than there are skilled people available to take them. If we focused our efforts in schools on relevant skill development for the modern world, we would raise up the poor with transferable skills. Instead we are still asking students to answer simple trivia questions about facts from textbooks about things which the vast majority of the economy does not care or value.


Yes - Besides being fair/ethical it’s important for societal stability. There are plenty of recent examples where very high inflation rates in countries prevented res...



Unsure - It depends on how governments would do this. Direct redistribution is clearly wrong, but measures such as surtaxes on comp...
