Oh I despise how fake progressive everything is here. These people don't care about whatever minority or cause of the week they're championing. I want out, I just literally lost my ability to leave and still have to deal with student debt, Cali is the last place I'm going to.
Haha I've tried, believe me, I hate this place after 20 years here... I was trying to save up for a downpayment on leaving to texas to raise a family, but financial woes removed the entirety of my savings, Even as a nurse, we don't get a break on easy access to jobs despite what's said. If I could move to a quiet, peaceful red state, I would.
To be fair, why would anyone want to spend a weekend relaxing in a room previously occupied by the homeless and covid patients? NYC's hotel industry is going to go through a major downfall for at least a decade, as someone who's lived here for 20+ years can say.
lol it's a welfare state but as a middle class guy we got screwed. What pisses me off is that people here are totally ok with their once amazing city degrading into a shithole and are thankful politicians are doing it...because they say that orange man is bad. Lemmings are not what I want to raise my kids around
Looking at Houston for years now, actually had enough saved for a downpayment but then Cuomo forced me out of work and I had to use that money to keep me and my gf afloat. Just got to keep going, but it'll take years to recoup...
It's really not that far from that to be honest. Sure there's quite a bit less mugging going on but think about it, there is no power left in the police against violent protestors, your politicians literally do not give a rat's ass about you unless you're wealthy, and everyone has a mindset that sacrificing the entire economy of NYC is worth it to lower the low infection rate of a bad flu
I really appreciate this, thank you. I know people have it far worse than I do. I apparently don't qualify for any benefit as I "make too much" even though every cent of my check goes into rent, payments on a now damaged car, and student debt that I cant claw out of. I'm sure there's light at the end of the tunnel, it just sucks its so far I cant see it.
