  • I live around this mess and I have mixed feelings about congestion pricing. I am for a congestion pricing scheme but the revenue should be shared among all transit agencies that travel in and out of NYC. Who the hell wants to travel into the city when PATH trains only come every 15-20 off peak and weekend hours? Why not beef up transit routes FIRST, and then implement the pricing?

    The concept is a good idea. The execution is short sided and insular and I don’t see the MTA benefiting from any of this for at least a decade. That’s IF this money actually goes towards public transportation infrastructure.

    I see this going the way of the mandatory 911 fee we all pay and then having almost none of that money going towards 911 service.
















  • I never implied that that were readily available in Canada. That fact that somewhere in North America that offers this at all, is astonishing to me. If it was available in Mexico, I would be equally astonished.

    I’m not arguing that women’s pain isn’t taken seriously.

    But you did.

    nor would I consider it inhumane to perform it without.

    Why would you not consider anesthetics medically necessary for a painful procedure? That’s insane to me. It’s given to men who get vasectomies, standard. Why would you not consider that inhumane?

    Listen, my point of this post was, that these options are available. Maybe they are available in the States. That would be news to me. I said ‘TIL’d this is a thing. And it’s in Canada.’

    I think we can both agree both our countries medical systems are fucked and we should be demanding better care from all our providers.


  • This is the reason they are traveling to Montreal so yes, it appears to be available in Canada. But it absolutely is inhumane when countless women who ask for basic and simple numbing treatment for an IUD insertion/removal are denied and then gaslit into believing that it’s not necessary and they don’t really know their own bodies. Im glad you’ve never experienced it.

    Pain management for women, especially women of color, is a sick joke in the States.
