This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wealth vs wages? Cars require a substantial amount to buy, and then a decent liveable paycheck that leaves you something to play with for fuel and upkeep. Public transport is something more affordable for wage slaves.

I’m sure there’s a bit of geography going on here. I wouldn’t be surprised if Staten Island has far more cars than the other boroughs due to their having fewer public transportation options. I know Cuomo had more supporters there than other boroughs.
