Now I remember some of your posts...I really liked them...
And I did express some sympathy for the owners’ plight but as a “ New Yorker”, you should recognize that the ills that befall you are solely due to the entitlement mentality, union strangle hold and the “I’m so damn rich, I don’t give a sh*t” attitude and predominate voting allegiances of the populace of your city. One doesn’t conduct commerce in a bubble. Again, if this deli is such a “victim of circumstances”, then how about one of your more illustrious and wealthy citizens help bail them out? Maybe you could start a deli charity, give Anna a call and see if she’d be “in”, as they say.
