Quote:in terms of population though, a disproportionate amount gets spent around the state rather than being spent here in the city.
Of course, because the rest of the state is ass backwards. Leave it to certain state senators and representatives to make it so that the city makes all the money so that the rest of the state can be a welfare state. Why should cities like Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse have to worry about things like centralizing businesses and creating strong local economies, when they can just suck off NYC? Blame the rest of the fucking state, and also blame Geraldo Rivera for his fucking expose on insane asylums which caused the shut down of all the psychiatric centers in Western NY and helped to ruin the economy of that region even more.
