As I already explained, and which you ignored, the government gets way more money out of NYC in taxes than the money it invests into it. So it's in the government's interest to pay for roads in Brooklyn so that we can get around and be productive.

Because NYC alone contributes 8% of the entire country's GDP, far higher than any other city and higher than every state except California and Texas. It's in the Fed's interest that NYC is up and running.

I was curious about the names of the stars on that billboard on the right. The only full name I see is Ina Ray Hutton and she was definitely not a nobody according to what I could find of her.

Reducing the entire drag phenomenon as "Queens soaking up starlight" is why you're called a bigot. Resent yourself for deliberately being an asshole.

Why the focus on gay bars? You think a random dive bar is somehow kid appropriate?

It's not about going from 1.6 trillion to zero. It's about going from 1.6 trillion to 1.3 trillion (a loss of $300 billion) because the government couldn't bother to invest $3 billion. That's plausible if the MTA is dysfunctional to the point where economic decisions are made to account for it. To put it in perspective, the MTA strike in 2005 cost the city economy about $400 million a day. In 2023 dollars, that number would be closer to $615 million. Imagine if you will, a non functioning MTA that lasted a year. Or, a sub par functional MTA over a few years, say, over a presidential cycle.
Do you think hyperpartisanship for the benefit of Fox News viewers is worth $300 billion in lost public revenue?
