Yesterday I posted in response to another thread about the potential "hunger crisis' in NYC. I implied that it was going to take a long time before the people of that city were going to starve to death. This exemplifies my statement.
Out of the seven girls on this "Dance Team," one appears to be in the healthy weight range, six are overweight, and four are in various stages of the obese range. NYC is fat. There's no better way to say it.
Now, in Manhattan, that changes a bit, because the people there are rich as fuck, many of them are immigrants, and they walk a lot. There are still plenty of fat people who live in Manhattan, but I think it is less than the American average. The rest of NYC however, is full of fat people.
I think there is no better place to have a hunger crisis with the fewest negative health effects than NYC. Indeed, there will almost certainly be a few positive health benefits in such an event.
IME these ladies are significantly larger than the average NYer and fat people are quite rare there.
As you state, the walking alone keeps NYers fit, and there's actually a lot of low key fat and fashion shaming there.
A trucking strike would hit the city hard though. No one hoards or stockpiles (there's no room to do so). The city expects to be fully resupplied on a daily basis.
I guess it depends on where you go. If you stay in Manhattan you get a very different perception than the rest of NYC.

This has not been my experience when I went into other sections of the city. It seems to be tied to how much wealth there is in the neighborhoods. Since you mention "fashion shaming" this causes me to think you restricted yourself to only the "nice neighborhoods" of NYC and surrounding areas. Most of NYC is not the nice neighborhoods, though to be fair, it is a higher percentage than most urban areas due to it's proximity to Manhattan, and higher than it used to be just a couple decades ago.
I have lived in several large cities in America and the same type of selection process happens there as well. People get an idea of what a city is like without actually going into most of the city.
For sure, and I don't wish to deny whatever you saw or experienced.
Sometimes you move just a mile or even a few blocks and it's a different world. Even in a small town there's usually two sides of the tracks and it's not strange that two people could view it completely differently.
The movie Widows has a fun scene demonstrating this.
If your going to be a Cop in NYC, you better be prepared to "throw your weight around". They all look like good Cops, except the cute one in the middle!
Looks like when you gain so much weight that you can no longer fit in a uniform, they put you on the dance team.
The anchor positions of that troupe are manned accordingly.
Like the dance routines of the nurses during Covid, I believe they are mocking us.
Possible they are mocking.
Also possible they are really that fucking stupid.
Obviously, they are that fucking fat, so stupid can't be far behind.
those weren't nurses, though...
They were crisis actors in a roll out of Chinese malware TikTok

Prepping by putting a 2 year supply of food on your gut.
Some combination of a chipmunk and a bear preparing for winter.
The longest documented fast (no food at all, only water) was a Scottish man who fasted for over 1 year.
He was 400+ pounds when he started, and around 180 when he finished. Stayed lean the rest of his life.
So, it is possible for these fat pigs to go without, but most of them will panic and who knows what kind of mayhem will ensue in such a situation?

Hopefully they do not come to our suburb towns.
Not exactly the Rockettes, are they?
Gonna need to resurface the floor when that shit show is over...
That is just pathetic.
Those are some very body-positive people ya got there.. why the fuck does the NYPD have a dance team when their budget keeps getting cut?

They would not be able to chase down a perp. They probably all have desk jobs.
Gross.
Those blimps are actually cops?
No wonder crime's out of control ...
All fat? What’s going on? Aren’t they supposed to be fit?
This looks like an old ladies aerobics class.
This is very similar to the nurses dancing during Covid? Crazy.
Who the hell farted
Umm, cow dance. I don't think dancers weigh that much. Who's doing this???
Half those fat pigs had a hard time standing back up.
The longer this goes on and the longer we let them in the worse it’s gona be for all involved.
I keep saying Idiocracy wasn't a movie, it was a documentary from the actual future.
We’re living the prequel to Idiocracy….
Fat useless cops.
