I was a huge fan; I'm still a fan. "I wanted to buy a candle holder, but the store didn't have one. So I got a cake."

Fat people do that to escalators.

McPresident didn't announce his run with a walk down the stairs AG....sheesh.

Maga hate being inconvenienced to save someone's life.

Apparently never lived through Con Ed brownouts and blackouts. I have. No fun.

Duh

As long as the elevator works for wheelchairs, strollers etc this is just a joke. Yes, you will sweat climbing the stairs but it not like NYC's subway stations are air-conditioned anyway.

sometimes a condition exists where stairs can trigger a flare up where escalators wont. i have such a condition escalators move at a steady pace, some people can be painfully slow on stairs especially the smaller humans some call children - dont need them slowing me down

The rail at the most common sense stuff

One of my favorite lines if his!

Maybe Texas could learn a few things from NY

If there's anything guaranteed to tell the world that you're brain dead, it's calling anything "woke". But especially something this stupid.

Maybe AI can give people the illusion the escalator brought them to the top.

Where is the outrage every single time the Texas power grid shuts down? www.forbes.com/sites/edhirs...

The stairs are still working.

Hope End Wokeness realizes escalators never stop moving 24/7 in the subways? All day, all evening until closing in shopping areas? How is saving electricity in a heat wave a bad thing?

Has this person ever been to New York?

The Great America State Fair is postponed due to heat. Welcome to the 3rd world.

They don't know how stairs work...

This might explain why third world countries don't have to contend with morbid obesity.

Trust me most of you need the damn exercise.

What a stupid comment get off your fat ass and walk the stairs

really not sure why a lot of them are built in the first place.

As I understand it, having escalators doesn’t mean a building doesn’t have to have elevators. Let’s hope the wingers don’t crowd out those who need the elevators.

When energy does not to be needed, need not!

OMG people will be forced to use an elevator! Dystopian shit.

Seriously?

I thought it was obvious that a major city under the effects of a heat dome would conserve power so that more could be devoted to....I dunno....cool homes? These people are absolute morons.

I wonder if data centers have anything to do with, “saving energy”?

Top floor i should add.

Oh stop carping at sensible moves to ensure the majority of people can keep fridges & fans,instead of letting the energy get used for less important shit.There are too many stupid people who'd complain if elevators just stopped but not closed off,"wahh😩it's broken",no:now they're just stairs!

I’ve walked up and down escalators sometimes even when they are moving. Why are they blocked off?

The Reflecting Pool is green….

Same is true for Texas and other states, ftr DC canceled its July 4th parade today.

Complain complain that’s all they do.

the spot between my big toe and the rest of my toes hurt just reading that.

That's not something I'd think would be turned off to conserve energy. MANY people need it. I'd bet 1/4 of the people need it & so you'll run the elevator all day instead. Strange choice.

Have they ever wondered why people from third world countries tend to be thinner 🌍🤔🤣🤣🤣

My guess is that the poster has no idea what "3rd world" actually means, and would be decrying liberal influence if he knew that the 3rd world are underdeveloped nations beholden to Moscow for economic support and political direction. Did he mean to say, "2nd world"? BTW has he seen healthcare?

People are such idiots. We're literally at the political discourse level of, "everything you do and believe is wrong, and everything I do and believe is right, even when they're the same thing."

Or themselves ... In the long run?

"Sorry for the convenience."

Let me ask you a question; how do you feel about frilly toothpicks?

America broke and now it’s just a bench for slave owners to sit and watch us work for them. They’re called government. Used to work for us. Remember that failed experiment? America is dead

“An elevator can never break down, it can become an unscalable wall.” - Mitch McConnell

OOOOOOH no non moving stairs my life is hanging by a thread .

Why'd they block it? That's dumb (*with*a b)

we are lazy, fat Americans-we could do with a little more walking

What happened to the Dufresnes?

He was so good 💙

“I like to eat rice when I want to have 2000 of something” 😩

Discovered him a few years ago, when I found a comedy channel on satellite radio, and was so bummed to find out he had passed and I would never see him on stage.

Smith! SEARCH party of three! You can eat when you’ve found Congress’s balls. They’re locked up in Trump’s bathroom, with duct tape over their mouths… and they’re whiny. That’s a double whammy!

The same people who don’t care if we pay $6.00 per gallon of gas and everyone is hurt, think it’s awful to temporarily inconvenience some people to help everyone. Fascist capitalist bastards!

But it says, "Elevators remain fully operational." Ooh, but maybe using the elevators is too woke?! 🙄

This dude (and I'm certain it's a male) is such a whiner.

I appreciate that this truth opened the door for more Mitch Hedberg bits in the thread.

Texas is worse.

I washed clothes early this morning and hung them outside to dry to save energy/ease electrical strain. And I have a friggin generator if there is a black/brown out. (We have had 3 power failures this week) Oh the humanity!

Perfectly said !!! 💙💙💙🦋💯

Mitch Hedberg, a national treasure gone way too soon.

You are going to lose your home and starve in the streets, Magat idiot. Welcome to the third world.

Love Mitch Hedberg

Well, that really hurts accessibility so I hope it doesn’t last but it’s understandable.

Tell me you skip leg day without telling me you skip leg day. 🤣🤣🤣

There is nothing about which they won’t whine.

Love this!

Pick your blessing vs poison.... having to climb an escalator without it moving.... or uninterrupted electric at home so your AC or fans run....?

The stupidity is overwhelming

All the while the six or seven dozen data centers operate without restriction. But fuck the 99% right? Where is @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on this one? He’s often on the right side of things.

And you cant even get the fat ass multi criminal in the whitehouse to walk up them !

"Escalators temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience"

Someone needs to wake up

Elevators need to be shut down as well

"Sorry for the convenience "

rather have the escalators turned off than the power and the lights

Surely that's true I guess the odds of a brake belt failing and paying the insurance is a fact. I would not walk up one 🙄

Yes and quite spectacular one too In idling and awaiting the rush

That doesn't mean you close the escalators for people who can use stairs. Are only disabled people using escalators now? Of course not, everyone uses them who can. It frees up elevators for the disabled, right? Use your head.

You haven't seen anything yet...

Remember when tRumpty dUmpty got stuck on an escalator and had to walk the rest of the way up? The right wing said it was SABOTAGE! NYC's is premeditated communist 3rd world SABOTAGE! Da svidanya, comrades! 😆 🤣 😂 😢 😠 😡 👿

People are really a bunch of whiners these days. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I want golf courses to be shut down. They require so much water and God knows we're short on water in the Southwest. Shut down all of trump's golf courses.

Bit of exercise never harmed anyone! Jeez

The thing I don't understand is that they have a perfectly good, functional staircase, but are blocking it off to prevent people from using it.

Chump is their biggest one. I kinda hope he ruins them.

Perfect for the brainless Cult of Stupid aka their audience. Fresh new RAGE!!!! every day.

You want escalators or ventilation?

MAGAs can just eat shit and die.

Let them keep posting stuff.. reminds me of a quote- “sometimes it’s better to remain silent and be thought the fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”..

@EndWokeness probably needs to think about what they just said... showing their abject stupidity. Obviously spoken like someone who doesn't grasp the concept of walking.

I follow you for news, but this, right here, is why I adore you. #Hedbergophile

Welcome to the new reality bought about by old white guys who refuse to believe in climate change! In Australia we regularly have to remember that overloading all the aircons will mean none of them work! It’s called living in a community and not being a selfish arsehole!

So they have elevators in the third world... who knew? 🤣

But data centers are fine, yeah?

We are in a civil war.

Dancing with the Stairs? Buhahaha

What the fck is wrong with these people?? Can they ever shut up??

Happy global warming Fly often to speed of sound the doom

Yes. Having people walk up and down stairs to conserve energy is definitely third world country-ish. What's next? Having to stand in line for an ice cream?

Tell me you’ve never left the country without saying you’ve never left the country

I thought ‘moving stairs’ were ‘woke’. 🤷

But aren't you from the "conservative" party? The "party" blocking all alternative energy projects that add low cost generating capacity to the grid? ... that doesn't "believe" in climate change or science or modern medicine? ... that hates "socialism" and government services including escalators

good for NY!!! I keep watching around me for the day we will have no power in my state. It's coming, sooner rather than later.

Not on your life, Scott. I'm sticking around for more Mitch wisdom.

You’re right: it can’t; and it probably won’t

I miss Mitch Hedberg. A lot.

There should be a sign that says "Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience" ~Also Mitch Hedberg
