Learn to code.

I remember a newspaper headline of the time which read:

“Ford to city - Drop Dead”.

[Bonemaker]

Maybe the garbage collectors could go on strike again...just to nudge things along.

ROTFL. Electing corrupt politicians and giving away lots of free stuff to the freeloaders does have a tendency to cause that. You eventually run out of OPM.

[AAABEST]

Localities that elect stupid and evil leaders should go bankrupt. It would be even better if NYers suffered the true consequences of poor decisions began to STARVE, but I'll take financial calamity.

I say this as someone born in Brooklyn who still has family there.

But, but, DumblASSio was just in Iowa to see how he played out there. From what I heard, they ignored him like the dirt he is.

No New Yorkers play well in Iowa. Kirsten Gillibrand is treated like a rock star by Iowa media when she visits. They must hire fawning crowds for her, because Gillibrand has no support in Iowa after she leaves.

The Trump win in Iowa was a miracle. Tough to repeat.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Go to Congress, spin your Chicken Little tale of impending doom, and you WILL get a bailout. No matter how many people oppose it.

That is the lesson I learned in 2009.

[contrarian]

Wait a minute.......trying to care........... nope.. Die New York Die !!

[Tammy8]

Their mayor seems to be more concerned with taking firearms from everyone in America than running the city. You would think his voters would be angry that he is not dealing with issues he was elected to deal with.
