The Concern: President Trump signing an govt order pushing states to finish cashless bail.
As a local New Yorker, I’ve observed town and its surrounding areas have fallen prey to progressive insurance policies and unbearable Albany politicians (“Don: Banner day for cashless,” Aug. 26).
On no account, form or type do I contemplate myself a fan of President Trump, but I do agree with him on transferring to nix the inane cashless bail system that has clearly failed right here in our metropolis.

In contrast to disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, socialist wannabe-mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Mayor Invoice de Blasio, President Trump is exercising frequent sense in trying to finish cashless bail.
Cashless bail doesn’t shield law-abiding residents or guarantee justice, however expedites criminals’ return to the streets. Cashless bail defies logic.
President Trump threatening to revoke federal funding for jurisdictions with lax bail insurance policies is genius.

Though President Trump signed an govt order that can go after cities which have a cashless bond coverage in place, don’t take a victory leap simply but.
If Zohran Mamdani turns into New York Metropolis’s subsequent mayor, he may eliminate misdemeanors.
Wait and see how dangerous that can work out for law-abiding of us.

The imperiling cashless bail coverage, coupled with lax judges, has been the impetus for recidivist criminals to commit crimes with impunity.
The legislators in these liberal jurisdictions who permit for such insurance policies to exist must be universally rejected by all.
The security of the American individuals must be of paramount concern to all politicians.
To permit for cashless bail to exist reveals an abhorrent indifference towards the individuals they characterize.
Their motive for permitting such a detrimental coverage to exist is bewildering.

I’m all in favor of eliminating cashless bail, however there’s a very huge loophole within the govt order President Trump signed: No minimal quantity of bail to be charged is talked about.
What prevents a choose, significantly in New York Metropolis, from setting bail at a low value?

The Concern: Cracker Barrel’s rebrand, which features a simplified brand and modernized inside.
It seems Cracker Barrel has determined to undertake Bud Mild’s enterprise mannequin (“Supper villain over a Barrel,” Aug. 26).
One has to marvel what demographic the corporate is making an attempt to draw by eliminating its entrance porch rocking chairs and adopting a mall cafeteria design in its consuming areas — definitely not the biscuits and gravy crowd.

All people has jumped on the bandwagon of constructing their views recognized in terms of Cracker Barrel’s rebrand.
My very own tackle that is that the model, in making an attempt to attraction to younger individuals, has eradicated outdated individuals from its demographic.
If there’s one phrase that stands out, it’s the “don’t look outdated” or “don’t look dated” mantra.
Getting old is made to look dangerous; outdated individuals and outdated methods are pushed out of society.
However visiting outdated roots can have some advantages, particularly on this age of electronics.

The rebranding of Cracker Barrel seems to be getting extra publicity than the famine in Gaza, but that famine is certainly coming — even because the feasts will proceed at Cracker Barrels and different diners throughout America, no matter how the logos are designed.
