A filmmaker from Connecticut has traveled to each of the 50 states and well beyond, asking people one simple question: Are you happy? Atdhe “Theo” Trepca, 29, was shocked and saddened to hear that people all around the world — from commuting New Yorkers to farmers in the Philippines — essentially have the same response: No.
In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, Gov. Kathy Hochul is poised to officially resurrect congestion pricing with a $9 base toll during an announcement – a move that drew swift outrage from the hated toll program’s opponents. Firefighters battled a bushfire in Manhattan’s Inwood Hill Park through the night as two additional blazes ignited at other city parks amid a record-shattering dry spell in the Big Apple. Meanwhile, a 14-year-old boy was arrested last week for allegedly igniting a New Jersey forest fire that destroyed 52 acres in an intentional act of arson, police said. And in the ongoing transition of power, President-elect Donald Trump chose Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to serve as his attorney general, bypassing more experienced options in favor of a loyalist who has built a national reputation as a disruptor and whom Trump has tasked with dramatically overhauling the Justice Department.
