Ronald Reagan was a miserable SOB. ignoring AIDS, Iran-Contra, stagflation, firing air traffic controllers, anti-union activities, trickle down economics, the rise of Christian Nationalism, outright racism, etc., etc. F U for thinking he was either a good or decent person.

“Mr. Buchanan has been trying to explain away his German car ever since he started his campaign, telling a reporter recently that his wife made him buy it.”

The far left was a bus stop in 2006. Today Broadway is configured with parking on either side of the street, and the left traffic lane is painted red for busses only. The bus stop is now just south of this image, below Spring Street, with a bus island.

Photo is from 2006. It's the corner of Broadway at Spring Street.

Using a gridlock photo from 2006 is an editorial choice too.

That photo is over 15 years old 🤡

This is at the corner of Centre Street at Howard. That's a US government parking structure that they are in front of, next door to the Museum of Chinese in America. This is at the edge of Chinatown and Little Italy in Lower Manhattan.

Calling it lobby art is beyond generous. It’s an embarrassment fitting of this administration.

- Issued criminal summonses instead of regular traffic tickets to bicyclists for low-level offenses, something that is very rarely done for motorists.
