The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hmmmm, Does Mayor Adams think the asylum seekers are a bunch of cattle, shipping them to towns and cities that are not equip to take care of them? What in the world is Adams thinking of?

'New York City will send hundreds of asylum seekers to two upstate hotels to alleviate pressure on the city's overcrowded shelter and emergency housing systems, Mayor Adams said Friday after learning the city will get less than $31 million in federal aid for the local migrant crisis.

The upstate initiative ' which involves Adams' administration housing migrants in one hotel in Orange County and another in Rockland County ' did not receive a warm welcome from elected leaders north of the city.

'This is absurd, and we will not stand for it,' Rockland County Executive Ed Day, a Republican, said in response to Adams' announcement.

'There is nothing humanitarian about a sanctuary city sending busloads of people to a county that does not have the infrastructure to care for them. It's the same as throwing them in the middle of the ocean with nowhere to swim.'

Methinks the 'Big Guy' should treat Mayor Adams with respect and give him 10% more taxpayer monies.
