“New York City is not the center of the universe.”
“New York City is the nerve center of the US capitalist system.”
Lol. One cope does not replace another. Federal fiscal policies in Washington DC dwarf any one city. You know, a couple out small things like FED, Treasury dept, and Congress. It may have the NYSE, but financial decisions are more decentralized than ever due to corps, governments and global markets. New Yorkers need to get over themselves. They are a shadow of what they were decades ago.
