Maspeth: Voicer Bob Cavaliere has some valid points. There are people who are professional squatters. They know exactly how to live rent-free. My experience occurred pre-pandemic. A guy used a story that he was recently divorced and wanted to be close to his son. Nothing was further from the truth. He paid rent for a few months, then brought in another renter without my knowledge. He had nightly drinking parties and card games that kept the upstairs tenants awake most nights.
Northport, L.I.: It must be tough to be a far-right-wing Republican these days. Evidently, they’ve become seriously infected with fascist fever and extreme treasononitis. The Big Lie has filled their empty heads and left them no room to handle the truth. Apparently, thinking about real, uncomfortable facts makes their brains hurt.
Bronx: I remember Sen. Elizabeth Warren reporting that 65% of bankruptcies were the result of medical debt. That was just the tip of the iceberg! New studies by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) and the Urban Institute estimate that 100 million people in the U.S. are struggling to pay medical debt almost a third of Americans.
Bronx: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and every member of the Senate, or any elected official, for that matter, who doesn’t get on board with totally banning the purchase of assault weapons by civilians should be made to go to the funeral of each of the children who died on Tuesday, look their parents in their faces and explain why they won’t enact this ban.
Garwood, N.J.: This letter is in response to Voicer Robert J. SanFilippo: Thank you for your letter. It made me smile. I could not finish reading Dr. Andrew Wickline’s op-ed (“The right way to curb opioid abuse by Americans,” May 16) because I was laughing, too.
