I understand that people are scared and upset about what is going on, but behaving like animals doesn't help. Last night I was trying to get to work at Starbucks on Hempstead Turnpike and Stewart Ave. There was a gas line blocking the driveways into and out of the store (it is ILLEGAL to block driveways) folks! Some guy jumps out of his car and starts pounding on my car and window, cursing at me and screaming at me to get out of his way . When I told him I was trying to get to work at the store, he starts screaming at me "walk to work, bitch!"
I am in my 60's, and this guy was at most, mid-30'S. The guy was crazy and violent, and there doesn't seem to be anyone trying to control these people who are flipping out. I kept wondering if he would have liked it if someone had done that to his mother when she was trying to get to work.

when you say elite do you mean the hard working people who have money? it's a matter of labels. youRead More call them elite..they call themselves hard workers. yes, some inherit money. but most of us work for it.
Michael Taustine June 16, 2013 at 09:01 pm
No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treatedRead More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

Will the new Massapequa station platform be covered end-to-end as it is now? If it will only beRead More partially covered, like Seaford station, there are going to be a lot of cold, wet, unhappy commuters.

Mr. Coyote, The design plans only call for a canopy over certain parts of the station platform, likeRead More almost all of the other stations along the branch. The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.

Also blocks along Alhambra Road including Granada and Sutton. It rained the other day and was up toRead More the front lawn on one house that is still being renovated from Sandy!!!! Horrible if those owners saw this.
