Between the spiking crime rates, the increase in homeless encampments and the ease of access to hard drugs, New York City has been in a downward spiral since the introduction of statewide bail reform in 2019.
Yet, as the quality of life for everyday New Yorkers deteriorates, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation earlier this month that would replace the word “inmate” with “incarcerated person” in state laws. Because, as Democratic state Sen. Gustavo Rivera explained to The New York Post, “For too long, we as a society have thought of incarcerated individuals as less than people. The use of the word ‘inmate’ further dehumanizes and demoralizes them.”
In the latest sign the state’s leaders are missing the forest for the trees, a new law went into effect last November to ban the sale of canned whipped cream to individuals under 21 years of age, according to The Washington Times.
The whippet cartridges inside the cans contain nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas, which young people inhale to get high.
The new law states, “For purposes of this section, the term ‘whipped cream charger’ shall mean a steel cylinder orcartridge filled with nitrous oxide (N2O) that is used as a whipping agent in a whipped cream dispenser.
Instead of worrying about dumb stuff they better worry about the gas, diesel, and oil crisis that the media is not talking about. New Yorkers will lose their minds over this. The only ones covering this Hugh story is WSJ and Bloomberg. Haven’t heard anything from the media . Trying to cover this story up to protect this corrupt president they we have.
Wait until winter comes.
one thing they never ban…grifter politicians! send that useless witch back to the emerald isle!
