New
York City News Halloween -
November 2021
Just
the facts. You decide what to believe
Greenpoint Brooklyn November 16, 2021 The recent rent
by the minute, electric motorcycle craze has brought a whole new set
of problems to the city. Many of the riders do not have a normal
motorcycle license (which apparently is not required for these), but
still the riders are not necessarily proficient. Further, the riders
park these rental cycles in a haphazard way. New rules must be imposed. |
|
|
The Empire State Building, finished in 1932,
took only one year to build and is still one of the most beautiful
buildings in the city. |
Times Square is packed again with tourists, mostly
from the United States, rather than international. |
|
|
People taking selfies, while sitting in a busy street. |
|
|
Times Square always has something going on, however
there are many people who dress up and offer photo opportunities for
a price. Sometimes the entire situation gives the city a third world
feel. Perhaps it is time for the city to crack down on these people
who sometimes becomes belligerent to simple photographers. |
|
|
Another outdoor attraction on Times Square. |
|
|
|
|
Motorized bicycles are more and more common. Perhaps
it is time to license and insure them. |
|
|
|
A sidewalk market in Chinatown where venders sell all
sorts of items. Often these items are knock-offs of name brand goods. |
|
|
Washington Square Park is again popular. Here we have
an excellent, improvised street band. |
|
|
|
|
Labor Shortage:
The USA is experiencing a huge labor shortage. One of the main causes
is that many businesses are demanding that employees submit to one of
the emergency authorized Covid vaccinations. An estimated 40% of the
population is concerned about the short and long term safety of this
experimental vaccine. The other cause of the labor shortage is that
workers are demanding a living wage, rather than minimum wage. |
|
|
The Holland Tunnel to New Jersey. There is a proposal
to build a series of cable cars to cross the Hudson River to
alleviate traffic, but there are many issues that must be addressed
first with this technology. |
|
|
The New York City skyline is always beautiful at night. |
|
|
Homelessness is again a major issue in NYC. |
|
|
Bike lanes are under utilized and are used primarily
by people under the age of 40. A quick survey showed that 70% of the
bikers are males. Is it really necessary to take up two automobile
lanes to create a bicycle lane? It is time to register and insure
bicycles. Please read
our op-ed regarding bike lanes. |

Halloween,
October 31, 2021
New York, NY
October 31, 2021 Halloween in Washington Square Park. Inflatable outfits |
|
|
Panda's relaxing!
Actually as cute as the Panda fable is, Panda's are indeed powerful
wild animals. |
|
|
This year, police
woman uniforms are the new "in costume" |
|
|
Even a dog gets
into the Halloween costume mood! |
|
|
A beautiful
flowered umbrella over this mans art stand. |
|
|
Cute! |
|
|
I certainly would
obey this police officer! |
|
|
This artist is
selling his "spin art". High speed spin paintings have been
around for decades, however this artists says that his homemade
spinner operates at 7500 RPM, rather than the normal 2000 to 4000RPM.
Of course viscosity of the paint as well as the length of the spin
might play a role in the final product. |
|
|
Crowded Washington
Square park |
|
|
In Chinatown,
lower Manhattan. Are these huge lemons or variations of grapefruit? |
|
|
Thousands of
people waiting to enter Madison Square Garden to participate in a
Halloween bash. |
|
|
The new Penn
Station building in the basement of the main Post Office on 33 Street
and 8th Avenue. They are referring to it as the Senator Daniel
Patrick Moynahan station, but all people seem to simply call it Penn Station. |
|
|
Another beautiful
Halloween "police woman". |
|
|
If you don't obey
the police you may end up being Halloween "prisoners", as
these two are in Karzma, the famous Polish restaurant in Greenpoint Brooklyn. |

OP-ED
1.2 TRILLION
DOLLAR INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM
Infrastructure
program: New York City is about to receive billions of
dollars of the enormous money that has been granted by Congress (and
paid for by the taxpayers). Cable
Cars: One proposal is to build a
series of cable cars, similar to the Roosevelt Island cable car, to
make additional connections between Brooklyn and Manhattan, Manhattan
and New Jersey and Brooklyn and Staten Island. Further, it is
proposed that a cable car going along the east side of Manhattan,
from the East Village up to the upper east side of Manhattan. While
this is an interesting proposal, such issues as cost verses benefit
and perhaps safety comes to mind. Will this billion dollar project
really improve NYC transportation? Will a cable car dangling over the
Hudson River or over New York Harbor between Brooklyn and Staten
Island in the high winds of winter really be safe? We recommend that
this project be very carefully analyzed and put to public scrutiny
before being adapted.
Subway
Safety Gates: We firmly recommend that the City Of New
York finally adapt Frank X. Didik's proposal for subway safety gates.
The entire project to put subway gates on all subway and elevated
train platforms would cost an estimated $600 million dollars and
would ultimately save countless lives and would prevent hundreds of
people a year
from losing limbs and being permanently disabled. Read more about
this remarkable proposal here
- read more.
Subway
Safety-Subway Gate Every year
hundreds of people are killed or severely injured when they fall onto
the tracks of trains and subways. The prevention is cost efficient
and greatly reduces liability ...

Subway
Noise: In
addition to the much needed subway
gate proposal an additional proposal to
greatly lower subway noise could be achieved over several years and
would cost an estimated 500 million dollars. This would make riding
the subway much more pleasant and bring NYC up to the standards of
the Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow and most modern subway systems.
Presently, NYC's subway system is aged and and far below the current
global standards. Read
more here about reducing subway noise.
Greatly
reduce train noise A
significant amount of train noise is caused by the train wheels
rolling over the expansion joint of the tracks. This vibration
creates noise, vibrations, an less pleasant ride and also reduces the
life cycle of the train. The solution is relatively simple and cost effective..read

A
$40 per hour minimum
wage? ...Frank
X. Didik, September 22, 2021
In
1962, the average 35 year old working man was able to support a
wife, 3 or 4 children, own a house in the suburbs, have 2 cars and
had enough money to go on a vacation once or twice a year. Today, it
takes two highly educated people working to buy a small one or two
bedroom coop or condo, car ownership is rare and they can only afford
to have one or two children at best. To achieve what a man in 1962
made per week and to regain the standard of living of that time, the
minimum wage must be increased to $40 per hour. The gradual decline
over the past 60 years should be changed. Perhaps "shock
treatment" that was recommended to the former communist
countries in Eastern Europe by "experts" from leading
American Universities, should be the guide for this sudden increase
in the average (minimum) wage. Several things would happen. First,
people would initially spend much more money and this would almost
instantly create huge demand. At the same time, it is very possible
that prices would go up, though perhaps not as fast as one might
expect, since production efficiency is much greater today than in
1962. Finally, it might be necessary to implement trade barriers.
This of course would run counter to the direction of globalism.
Perhaps it is time to modify the notion of globalism and take into
account the different global cultures, work ethics and achievements.
Brief Comments
A
reminder to fellow
citizens When
you walk down the street, just remember that every person who you
pass by, regardless of their race or physical appearance, or if they
are rich or poor, has their own goals and aspirations, trials and
tribulations and each person must be treated with basic respect and dignity.
It is essential to
individualize and not generalize. Each group has their good and bad
and one must not fall into the trap of assuming that everyone in a
particular group is the same or thinks the same. Sometimes in our
rush or arrogance, we forget these basic truths.

Defund?
Some anti-police groups have called for the defunding of the police
around the country. Question: late at night, if you are traveling in
an empty subway car and two police officers come on, do you feel
threatened or are you relieved and hope that they stay on for the
duration of your trip? The answer is obvious. The police are
essential to maintaining order in any society.

Thoughts
on science, business and society today
By
Frank X. Didik - News1.net editor.
What
if and what can or might be.
The
1956 Firebird was
to be self driving.
Self
Driving Cars? If
you have an accident with a self driving car, who is at fault? The
car manufacturer, the owner of the car or the occupant
"driver" of the car? I
have enjoyed owning and driving some of the most interesting cars
made and have always enjoyed the freedom of driving without
impediments or restrictions. Nevertheless, if self driving cars can
help reduce accidents and enhance society, I am for them. Besides the
technical aspects, there are many other issues that must be worked
out. My concerns regarding self driving cars including liability,
safety, morality and effectiveness. ...read

Bicycles?
What ever happened to jet packs, flying cars and advanced technology
that in the past, was predicted that we would be using by today? Why
are bicycles being pushed by cities world wide?...read
more ...
What about? ..
Old
Computer Formats and the longevity of our digitally stored
knowledge. Are
we entering into a "pre-history" era? How can we preserve
our computer written records, books, photographs, video and
knowledge? We must have an international agreement and an
organization, perhaps under auspices of the United Nations, dedicated
to preserving our global digital records so that future generations
can access the information and knowledge that we store on computer
readable formats.
If
you wanted to, would you be able to read a:
3
1/2" or 5 1/4" or 8" floppy?
cd-rom
or a dvd?
12"
optical disk?
9
track tape?
IBM
punch card?
Paper
punch tape?
If
you can not read these one or two generation old formats today, how
will society be able to read these documents in 200 years from now?
In a few years, our latest computer formats and storage devices, such
as USB drives, will also be obsolete. I have deep concerns about the
longevity of our knowledge and of computer records, ...read

if this is the case, it would mean that all archeological dating is
in question. How old are artifacts? When in fact did the dinosaurs
really die out? Further, consider that ...

What
is the speed of gravity? If it is instantaneous, then what if
gravity can be modulated? Today
most scientists, assume that the speed of gravity is the same as the
speed of light, but what if the speed of gravity is instantaneous?
Further, if gravity can be modulated, it might allow for
instantaneous universal communication. Thus it might be possible to
communicate with space craft instantly, rather than waiting for
minutes for transmissions to reach the craft or earth. Perhaps
computer chips can be made to operate vastly faster. And this is just
the beginning since ...read

endorses
Mr. Eric Adams
as the next mayor for the City of New York. Mr. Adams has served New
York City in many capacities including being a police officer, a
state senator and presently the Brooklyn Borough President. I can
testify that Mr. Adams has gone out of his way to serve the people of
New York. For example, he made is a point to personally come and
attend relatively small, downtown Brooklyn community meetings. He was
so modest, that many people did not realize that he was the Brooklyn
Borough President. We are confident that Mr. Adams will be the mayor
for all the people in New York City and will bring back law and
order, encourage business activity and continue to make New York City
the envy of the world. We endorse Mr. Eric Adams as the next Mayor
for the City of New York.

Inflation.
Apparently, inflation is back, though not as severe as in 1980-1982. Items
such as housing purchases, used automobiles, fuel and food has
increased by a fairly high amount, with some estimating this to be
about 15% over the past four months.
From the right,
Frank Didik, Dr. Eric Bitterman, Chairman of Deutche Welle, Dr.
Jachem Reppmann, and publisher Walter at the Von Steuben formal event
in New York City. Though Frank Didik does not have any German
background, he enjoys the inginuety and drive of the German people.
Massive
inflation coming? Frank
X. Didik, January 2, 2020. At the start of
2020, it is estimated that the United States national debt was 21
Trillion dollars. As of January 2, 2021, as a result of the vast
"printing" of additional money for Covid Relief and other
expenses, this debt is estimated at just under 30 trillion dollars.
Surely, one would think that a 30% increase in money supply would
lead to significant inflation, but this has not happened. I believe
that this is primarily because of vast production surpluses, on every
level including manufacturing, services and farming. Robotics,
efficient computerized allocation of resources and transportation has
produced enough for everyone, without pressure on the market.
DO
NOT DEFUND THE POLICE With
skyrocketing crime, it is clear that NYC must have an effective and
well funded NYPD otherwise we will be like the wild west.
Remote
working, office space, the diminished need for employees Frank
X. Didik, January 1, 2020 It
is fascinating to note that as a result of the government imposed
Covid-19 restrictions, that for a period of time, an estimated 30% of
the population was out of work, and yet the country did not
experience any long term shortages, in any area. One might say that
this is a wake-up call for companies to show them that they have too
many redundant employees. read

Reason,
Logic and intellect is not reliable.
The late Christopher Hitchens often stated that we should rely on our
logic, reason and intellect to determine the truth. Many people who
pride themselves as educated, intelligent and progressive believe the
same. As reasonable as this seems, Galileo proved over 400 years ago
that our logic, reason and intellect is unreliable and that only
direct experimental data, should be relied upon. Galileo had dropped
two balls of the same material, but different masses, from the
Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that they would hit the ground
at the same time, rather than the heavier ball hitting the ground
first, as almost everyone, including Aristotle, 2000 years ago, had
assumed. Our logic, reason and intellect is not reliable and should
only be viewed as speculation. Only direct experimentation and
obtaining the same results, over and over again should be relied upon.

Questioning
the results of modern science. For
the last 100 years, we have been experiencing the collapse of real
science. Theories, speculation and fantasy is the norm today. By
definition, the scientific method is the ability to test and re-test
and always get the same results, over and over. If an idea or a
theory can not be tested, the idea must be viewed as speculation and
not considered true, till that idea is proven without a doubt.
Scientific theory has moved to areas that are beyond our present
capability of testing and gradually a number of unproven theories
have become accepted as fact without any real proof. Further, new
theories have been developed based on old theories. Thus we have a
situation where science today is largely based on theory upon theory.
If something can not be proven, it falls into the realm of philosophy
rather than science. This has led to...read

review the discovery and confirm that it is in fact correct. Such
things that come to mind include cold fusion, the so called "God
