An ugly NYE ball
What had been they considering after they designed the 2026 New Year’s Eve ball (“A whole new (big) ball game,” Nov. 25)?
It appears like a giant Lite Brite toy or giant multi-colored kickball: Not very elegant. What a option to ring within the New Year.

Ken’s fake details
I had anticipated a leftie bent to Ken Burns’ new documentary, however assumed it will be an emphasis on the greed of previous white males eager to develop slavery (“Ken Burns’ Fake History,” Rich Lowry, PostOpinion, Nov. 25).
Instead, the emphasis was on Native Americans and grasping white males scheming to take their land. One historian even opined that this was, in reality, the primary motive for the revolution.
The intense repetition of particular tribes taking part in nearly each battle was not solely annoying however wasted time that might have been used for extra details. I obtained the purpose.

Platform security 101
When will people notice the people who run the MTA are a bunch of idiotic political hacks (“$82M for horrific subway maiming,” Nov. 26)?
The MTA would reasonably pay out hundreds of thousands to people who both by accident fall or are pushed onto the tracks by maniacs as an alternative of fixing the issue. The AirTrain at JFK has protecting boundaries, so why not the subway? Other nations, like Japan, have protecting boundaries of their subway stations.
But what can we count on when you’ve incompetent legislators appointing those that match their own incompetence.

NYC housing ploy
The Sandinista wing of New York’s City Council is simply following the lead of its mayor-elect (“A Sick Housing Scheme,” Editorial, Nov. 23).
When robbing Peter to pay Paul, one can all the time depend on the enthusiastic assist of Paul . . . and his elected representatives. This scheme will enrich the nonprofit apparatchiks who gain control of condo buildings. But it could actually’t finish properly for New Yorkers.

Behind NYPD OT
When it involves backing the Blue, the Blue does it best (“NYPD OT ‘down’ . . . to more than $1B,” Nov. 23) .
Is it attainable the scarcity of NYPD officers is deliberate to make sure there may be lots of time beyond regulation alternative for officers nearing retirement to inflate the pensions?

Hamas gained’t give
Hamas is a gang of Islamic terrorists whose constitution requires the elimination of Israel (“Who’ll Save Gaza?” Editorial, Nov. 23).
To give up in Gaza would go away Hamas bereft of goal and its members accused by fellow Islamist radicals as having been chicken-hearted failures.

‘Cracker’ jacked
The Cracker Barrel emblem wasn’t damaged — it didn’t need “fixing” (“Over a Barrel exec is ousted,” Business, Nov. 21).
As with many different company executives lately, Julie Felss Masino and her crew applied adjustments that relegated the more healthful elements of the American countryside to kitsch standing.
I don’t imagine that Masino ever actually invested the time or vitality to know who Cracker Barrel’s clients are, what they need or what they count on.
