    The Singapore and Bangkok MRT systems are 80-100 years newer than the NYC subway [/quote]

    That’s why you need Trump’s strong personality to bring billions upon billions of bacon to NYC to renovate and make NYC second to none like it was in the past.

    so they were built with a different design in mind.[/quote]

    Old doesn’t need to be dirty. Someone need to clean it up. 10 lashes for littering. 20 lashes for urinating. Extra punishment scrape chewing gum off the pavement.

    Just think of the positives Trump will bring to NYC — money, celebrity, tourism a future presidential library…

    NYC is already great, in a way that Singapore will never hope to be. Singapore lacks real art and theatre, because a restrictive culture inhibits its creation.

    You still don’t get it. People don’t want their homes knocked down to build shopping malls connected to subways.

    We’re not Singapore or Bangkok. We’re fine with that.

    When grand central station was built there was no such thing in the world.
    Don’t you want NYC to have second to none stuff that people would say “wow that’s NYC, that’s America!” If anyone can get it done for NY, Trump can. At least redo Laguardia and JFK. Do you know what kind of cow the red states would have if trump got the money for those 2 airports? They will keep mum however.

    Priorities need to be first less visible…
    (1) Cross Hudson rail tunnels at 32nd St
    (2) Portal Bridge (look it up)
    (3) N train to LGA (the current Airtrain plan is awful, requires traveling far into Queens, then doubling back)
    (4) 2nd Ave. subway
    (5) Direct PATH train to EWR, replacing less-frequent commuter train/monorail service
    (6) THEN look at renovating LGA and JFK

    Aren’t they already renovating JFK. Terminal 3 is gone and might already be in the process of being rebuilt.

    That’s down to individual airlines that control the terminals.

    Come on spdrun, don’t you want some vanity pork barrel spending for NY? Better than nothing.

    I think we need the tallest tower in the world with a Trump hotel and Trump residences inside. Taller than China or Dubai.

    Yeah, like we need more of a traffic nightmare and a “terrorist target” for the NYPD to harass people around.

    On the other hand, I’m sure a lot of NYC would appreciate a donation to MSKCC from Trump over the course of a few years. If you know what I mean.

    Well it looks like my 10% stock holding recently just became closer to now 20% stock holding. My bank and FNMA is on a tear…

    I can’t believe FNMA has gone from under $2/share a few weeks ago to now $4/share. Time to put stop orders in place, just in case.

    Deregulate please.

    Wouldn’t anyone put in charge of FNMA/FHFA by the Republicans be more cautious about lending? Ed DeMarco was a GOP appointee that was often criticized for his caution.

    Whereas Mel Watt is much more eager to lend to the undeserving.

    Also, isn’t the long-haul GOP plan to dismantle the GSEs entirely and take lending private?

    IMO the GOP plan is to not let the Dem’s have credit for anything and take credit for anything that seems to work and blame Dem’s for anything that does not.

    They really don’t care about anything but power (either side).

    That same rule applies for either party.

    The only thing they really care about is money/winning and power.

    That’s the only real plan IMO.

    Actually, it’s not true shoveler.
    Democrats have been pushed right and implemented republicans ideas like ACA. Democrats prefer direct government run like the VA.

    The VA is a bad example, because it’s badly run (at least in some part).

    The Post Office would be a better example. Who else will deliver a physical object anywhere in the country (and I mean anywhere) for 47 cents? And have delivery succeed 99.9% of the time.

    It is not wise to go all cash. Don’t time to market. Nobody can do it accurately. A smart thing to do is stay invested.
