Arday lessons

I am beyond challenged that in this day and age of AI methods to vet people, we repeatedly allow individuals to amp up their résumes and outright tell falsehoods about their lives (“Plagued UK prof, 41, dead,” Aug. 15).

Is no one vetting work the old-fashioned way anymore? Jason Arday needed mental help, not the celebratory acceptance that resulted in apparent untenable humiliation. We need to learn from this while mourning an unnecessary loss of life.

UESers’ trash-talk

The left-leaning Upper East Side voted overwhelmingly for this mayor, so why not just enjoy the garbage bins that you pass by while looking for a nonexistent parking space (“Toss ugly trash-can plan, says UES big,” Aug. 16)?

Better yet, give up your expensive car and take a ride on the “free” bus he promised you. You reap what you sow.

Facing down hate

I was touched with Michele Anenberg-Poma’s steadfast pride in her Jewish identity and appalled at the Central Synagogue attack, which is a painful reminder of the antisemitic milieu that continues to saturate our wonderful city, particularly under Mayor Mamdani (“Jews’ spirit unbroken,” Aug. 17).

The almost cliched characterization that the perpetrator has mental issues doesn’t have the credibility it once had, before the unabated hate for the Jewish population sadly pervaded our once-friendly culture.

Animal attack

It’s pitiful that The Post is now blaming animals and calling them the downfall of the affordable housing market (“Greens Halt Housing,” Robert Verbruggen, PostOpinion, Aug. 15).

Animals aren’t the enemy and shame on you for inciting needless hatred toward them.

Not everyone is jumping for joy over affordable housing, which brings with it its own problems (which you also know about). There are hundreds of Superfund sites all over the country. How about cleaning them up for human use? Or maybe tighten up rental laws.

Why do we have to demolish the environment so that developers can get rich?

Contagious bigotry

Carmella Charrington proves the theory that stupidity doesn’t discriminate between color, race or political party (“ ‘Zionists’ stole my house: pol,” Aug. 19).

Her thirst to be reelected so she can undoubtedly continue to barely serve her constituents just proves that ignorance is contagious. The mayor, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Hasan Piker: Their short stardom of hate and ignorance will end. We will all cheer and relegate them to the ash heap of history.

Money-hungry AGs

The only difference between the quartet of state attorneys general pursuing a lawsuit against Meta and the ones bringing endless lawsuits in the private sector is that AGs have the power of the state behind them (“Shaking Down Meta,” Editorial, Aug. 18).

I am sure there are other issues within their states that require their attention, just like Tish James ignoring what’s going on with the West Harlem Development Corp. It’s never about the people they were elected to protect, it’s about filling their pockets.
