I like the businesses around my area more than the ones around a city CBD personally. Cheaper and usually better quality.

This is so bad that even Yang who has plenty of embarrassing moments of his own, is feeling second-hand embarrassment for Adams.

I don't see any chance Adams sticks around, he's clueless and will resign.

"Low skill workers" not having the academic skills to sit in a corner office is pretty funny seeing as how the dumbest people I've ever met were definitely at my office jobs.

I agree, and this is the direction we should be heading. I'm tired of fighting The Cold War.
But you do realize several Million more people live in the Five Boroughs than the whole of Finland.

Yeah, but New York City is also a lot wealthier than Finland. It's not like NYC has less resources to work with, just that it(as well as the NY state and US federal governments) allows Wall Street to hoard them.

But yeah, it's depressing that politicians don't even feel the need to pay lip service to the idea that service workers are important. They've realized that nobody cares anymore.

Oh, I agree, NYC is ridiculous.
But NYS does send out a ton of money to other states.
Oddly enough many people in NYS think NYC is a money sink.

Nothing wrong with that. The government should have thrown a bone to us "essential workers" to at least put us on par with the expanded unemployment bonuses. Business could have done more than a pizza party or swag bag for the employees as well.

I just don't get the people who got pissed at those collecting unemployment.

I'm reminded of the scene in Dark Knight Rises when Bane breaks into the NYSE, and the stock broker dude is like "There's no money here" and Bane replies "Then why are all of you people here?"

I got lucky and quit my old job in May 2020, and my new job paid everyone 25% extra all the way until like December 2020, plus we got a $600 bonus check too. Found out my old job gave people one $400 check and that was it

Current governor (D) got guaranteed sick days for every worker in the state. Last governor (R) poisoned an entire city. Think about that next time you think both parties are the same.

The phrase low skill worker needs to go away. Not everyone can afford a loan for college and entry level jobs want unrealistic qualifications now, so not everyone gets by.

Bring back paid on-site training and there wouldnt be low skill workers.
