Lame Duck: How Will Bill de Blasio Fill the Next 22 Months ...

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s five years in office have been marked by a thriving economy locally and nationally. New York City is expected to bring in $92.2 billion in revenue next year – up about $14 billion from de Blasio’s first budget, enacted in 2014. 

But the mayor once again played the role of cautious fiscal steward in his preliminary budget presentation, saying that the city’s finances face an “unusual level of uncertainty” due to a number of outside threats.

How NYC subways got so bad: NYT report - Business Insider

Andrew Cuomo took the blame off of himself and instead partially blamed the media and experts.
 "Where were all the experts? Where was the New York Times, where was the Wall Street Journal, where was all the bugle blowers who should say, 'Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States?' That was in November, December.”​ 
 The governor said that he wished he had acted sooner in responding to the spread of the virus.

"I wish someone stood up and blew the bugle. And if no one was going to blow the bugle, I would feel much better if I was a bugle blower last December and January," he said.  
New York Times Metro Editor Jorge Arangure responded on Twitter, saying the Times wrote 450 stories about coronavirus between January 9 and March 1.
Meanwhile, the governor revealed that 31 percent of those tested in New York City have antibodies present, indicating they were exposed to the virus. The statistics show much lower numbers in more rural parts of the state.

A strip club in Houston won a temporary order from federal court to resume business this weekend under the governor’s reopen order, drawing the frustration of local officials tasked with enforcing new rules amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Club Onyx opened just after midnight Friday, claiming it’s a full-service restaurant and that strippers there were merely “entertainment.” The governor’s order allowed restaurants, retail businesses, malls and movie theaters to open at 25 percent capacity.
A federal judge approved a temporary restraining order against the city of Houston, which means a strip club can stay open as a restaurant.
Club Onyx filed the suit today after being shut down last night, just hours after they opened under Gov. Abbott's phase I plan.

What Is Equal Pay Day? Here's Everything You Need to Know


A federal judge in California ruled in favor of the United States Soccer Federation on most of the key points in the ongoing wage discrimination lawsuit brought by members of the U.S. women's national team player pool.


Players based the lawsuit filed last year on two grounds: first, that U.S. Soccer violated the Equal Pay Act by paying them less than members of the men's national team; and second, that the federation discriminated against them under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, specifically with regard to workplace conditions.
Judge R. Gary Klausner on Friday ruled for U.S. Soccer's motion for summary judgment with regard to the Equal Pay Act, stating in his decision that the players "have not demonstrated a triable issue that WNT players are paid less than MNT players."

Klausner's ruling was informed by the federation's contention that women's players were paid more in total and on a per-game basis than their male counterparts were during the period in question. Friday's ruling cited as undisputed fact that from 2015 to 2019, the women's national team averaged $220,747 per game in total payments (for a total of $24.5 million), while the men's national team averaged $212,639 per game in total payments (for a total of $18.5 million).

In Indonesia, thousands are believed to have died of the coronavirus. In nearby Malaysia, a strict lockdown has kept fatalities to about 100.
The coronavirus has touched almost every country on earth, but its impact has seemed capricious. Global metropolises like New York, Paris and London have been devastated, while teeming cities like Bangkok, Baghdad, New Delhi and Lagos have, so far, largely been spared.  

 The question of why the virus has overwhelmed some places and left others relatively untouched is a puzzle that has spawned numerous theories and speculations but no definitive answers.  
Doctors in Saudi Arabia are studying whether genetic differences may help explain varying levels of severity in Covid-19 cases among Saudi Arabs, while scientists in Brazil are looking into the relationship between genetics and Covid-19 complications. Teams in multiple countries are studying if common hypertension medications might worsen the disease’s severity and whether a particular tuberculosis vaccine might do the opposite.

Escape from New York City - WSJ



An optometrist who moved to New York City three years ago recently fled home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to CNBC

“My neighbor died. Friends were seeing body bags from their windows, and you’re just in this survival mode. 

I just was terrified,” said Lindsey Marvel. While there is no hard data yet, both real estate agents and homebuilders are reporting that they are seeing new interest from buyers hoping to move out of urban centers to the suburbs or exurbs. Marvel, 38, moved to New York City three years ago because, she said, “I’m literally going big or going home.”
