This is nothing but a racket to pay off New York City's public-sector unions.
There was no urgency to the work these NYC personnel were doing, and after the shock of the attack wore off the whole thing rapidly declined into an overtime scam for municipal workers and unionized construction workers...
I DO NOT want to go back and forth with you because I respect you too much.
There WAS an urgent reason to clean the pit and MANY of my firemen friends were in that pit.
Some of what you say has merit.
Perhaps you didn’t know HOW MANY firemen were in that pit cleaning up. Those weren’t just construction workers.
By a long shot.
And that’s nice of someone to offer for free.
Maybe some here would like someone to offer to do their job for free...
And see my post #14 on the same thread.
Come on people, use some common sense and look who is pushing this. When do liberal dimocrats give a rip about anyone unless it benefits them somehow? Based on the whole reason it was started you know it’s been abused as a massive dim slush fund. Before we start filling up their piggy bank again with masses of taxpayers dollars, who is doing audits and accounting for this money? Shouldn’t the people responsible be funding this and not the taxpayers?
