Wow! What a jerkass! Both Fred Trump and Robert Moses!
Now I understand why Moses did things the way he did. I grew up in Niagara Falls NY and he’s one of the big reasons that city was ruined…Moses simply hated REAL people (anyone who wasn’t super wealthy) and did all he can to take away the fun stuff that made those communities prosper. He was a snob!
…Then Fred swooped in for the kill!
Some folks should raise money to buy a chunk of Coney Island and built a New Steeplechase Park! They can relocate the old Parachute Jump (which was declared a landmark so it survives) and recreate much of the old park (but with an updated twist, of course).
Granted; They can’t rebuild on the old site due to a baseball stadium and there’s already an amusement park there but they can expand the latter into a huge New Steeplechase Park complex…complete with new boardwalks and everything!…the ultimate TRIUMPH OF THE LITTLE GUY AND THE AFFIRMATION THAT IT IS THE “LITTLE PERSON” (The ‘meek’) WHO SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!

It’s some weirdo called Jessica Yaniv who’s allegedly a transwoman who has a thing for suing salons run by immigrant women who refuse to wax her neither regions. Most articles about her are from Right-Wing rags. These are the few from regular, non-wingnut news-sites that cover it.
Yaniv is basically the embodiment of all the bad stereotypes that the Far-Right has about transwomen.
Also; When a salon happily agrees to giving her a waxing, she’s like “Never mind. I don’t wanna wax”. She also doesn’t persue lawsuits against salons that lawyer up really good.
Yaniv is probably some crossdressing Far-Right troll dude messing with Canada’s anti-discrimination laws while suing and putting out of business brown-skinned immigrants salon-owners. She was even a jerkass towards wingnut-token transwoman, Blaire White.
Few Progressives have addressed this because there’s so many nuances (Yaniv’s complaint technically sounds reasonable in theory if one puts it in the same light as the ‘LGBTQ Wedding Cake’ thing, which is why it’s so hard for the Left to deal with this) and it’s such a hot potato but I feel it must be addressed because Yaniv is literally wreaking havoc on anti-hate-crime laws.
