NY Blizzard Bosses Beer

NY Blizzard Bosses Beer - Did four bosses buy beer during the NYC snow disaster rather than clear away the massive piles of white stuff? On Sunday New York launched an investigation into reports that four sanitation bosses actually sat in the cars drinking beer instead of clearing away the blizzard’s aftermath.

The New York Post published an article that said that the four sanitation supervisors actually sat in their cars for hours last Monday night while they were assigned to clear away the NYC snow. If this is true, it is completely unacceptable. It makes little sense that they would do something like this? People throughout the city were counting on them to clear the roads – people’s lives and safety were at risk in New York City.

This is just the latest criticism that the New York City Department of Sanitation is dealing with over its handling of the massive blizzard that literally shut down the city last week. There are even rumors that supervisors deliberately tried to slow down the cleanup measures. That also makes little sense, but the rumors say that it was retaliation for budget cuts. Dan Halloran, a New York City Councilman, actually had sanitation workers come to him to make the allegations about the deliberate slowdown in an effort to get overtime and show the city how much they were needed. Wow, this is pretty shocking!

There are also reports that about 10% of NYC sanitation workers called in sick or used emergency during the two days after the major NYC snow storm last week. That is an unusually high number – normally 2 to 4% of the workforce is sick.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer.
