    Someone isn't telling the truth.

    "New app offers personal bodyguards and private motorcades on-demand in >>>> NYC"

    'New app offers personal bodyguards and private motorcades on-demand in >>>> NYC'

    'Safety is the new luxury in Gotham.

    A new app called Protector will offer New Yorkers on-demand access to
    armed ex-military and law enforcement to chauffeur them around town.

    But the libbys keep telling us that crime is down?
    Hint: it's through the roof no matter what the numbers say.

    So, as a born and bred NYC person I will offer some free advice for driving in NYC.

    But supposedly not living in NYC now, nor even recently.

    Lol.
    I'm in NYC at least once a month.

    There's still good Italian restaurants there. I travel to NJ a couple
    times a year and we sometimes go to the city for dinner.

    So....just how many decades old is this so-called "advice"?

    Some things never change.
    The advice has many applications.

    Ditto for claims on what crime 'really' is; probably hasn't even been on
    a NYC subway since before CoVid.

    Subway not in a very long time but prior to that I took it for many years both to school and work.
    Crime is a disaster in NYC. So is quality of life. And you know the reasons why
    but you'll never admit it.

    I rode the L train in Chicago for a few years. Beat walking.

    There was a time when folks who rode the L trains, probably NYC subways
    too, wouldn't put up with any of the crap that goes on there today.
    They'd beat the shit out of the troublemakers and throw their asses out
    the door when the train stopped.
