Maybe the police should consider dropping confetti on rioters? Maybe implement in clubs and bars? The solution to world peace: confetti. Who knew. :P

This is actually disgusting. I think the idea that dropping confetti prevents violence, or that it was responsible for the drop in violence the article attributes to it, seems silly. It sounds like they are just trying to justify the massive expense and waste associated with this reckless behavior.
Of course the owner of the company who gets paid mad money to dump trash on the public is going to tout his works as transformative and important. Does his company also pay for the 100 sanitation workers to clean up his mess? Or do the people foot the bill for both the dumping of the trash and the cleanup?
- zappo2938 8y agoThe targeted tax revenue per square foot of the businesses in that zone that profit from the massive foot traffic of Times Square and a hotel tax per night is used to create a safer experience that is the attraction people come to see pays for that. Hotels can say not to tax the room and stop the Times Square event but they will lose far more revenue, a little extra tax for far more revenue makes a ton of sense. In other words, the people who visit for the experience pay for it by the hotel room and sales tax when they eat at Planet Hollywood.
