Half of working-age households in New York City do not make enough money to cover basic needs, according to a new report.

That marks a significant jump from the group's 2021 study, when it found that 36% of households were struggling.

It said the surge was driven by the sharp rise in prices in recent years - especially for housing and childcare.

My question is how many have $1000 iPhones? How many have 72 inch flat screen TVs? How many have a "loaded" cable TV account? How many eat out several times per week, if not every day? How many are addicted to drugs or alcohol? How many only work part time or not at all? No sympathy. Their choices, their consequences.

the obvious solution is for NYC to give each and every citizen and illegal alien $20,000/month, every month for ever ...

You get what you vote for, locally as well as nationally and of course Trump was bad and everything he done was wrong.

I should not be laughing now since it is a very serious thing if you live in NYC.

"how many have $1000 iPhones? How many have 72 inch flat screen TVs?"

In their defense, they looted all that stuff, so it was free.

"How many eat out several times per week, if not every day"

Dine and dash.

This is how New Yorkers save money.

Wanna see how we save money on transportation?

If NYC would have continued to vote for self-immolation, why did Deep State shove RCV down Gotham’s throat for mayorals, hmmmmm?

And note to the Beeb: The economic disaster is worse Upstate. No mention of that, though.

And considering what’s going on in London, likely for the same reason, election steals, your interest in Gotham is touching.

Folks, NYC has RCV for the same reason Maine and Alaska do.

Think about it.

Speaking of NYC, London, and stolen elections, in a UK tab today...

'I can't vote in local elections because it's not safe for me under new Voter ID rules' EXCLUSIVE: An academic claims he is unable to vote in the forthcoming local elections and is potentially at risk of death as a result of being severely immunosuppressed.

None of this is a coinkydink.

And it's going on on both sides of the pond.
