For @ twenty years I was in corporate America, based in NYC. I did business with Chicago, LA, Texas, Atlanta, etc...as well as Eurpoe, Asia and South America. One thing I learned is that whenever I was dealing with non-NYC, US companies it was necessary to cut the throttle back at least a third to meet their pace and not scare them. The slow movement drove us crazy.

The bottom line is simple, in business in America NYC is the big leagues, everyplace else is the minors.

I absolutely agree.

That is an example of the arrogance and elitism that many Americans have come to know and expect from f'ing yankees (there are good Americans that happen to live in the north, and then there are f'ing yankees) living and working in nyc.

Running for RINO office anytime soon?

Or, maybe you could work on RINO-rudy's "staff".

Then why have so many companies moved out of New York City over the years -- they couldn't handle the "Big Leagues?"

If you go through a list of the Fortune 500 companies you don't find as many of these headquartered in New York City as you used to -- and almost all of them are in banking and financial services (Verizon and Pfizer are two notable exceptions).
