Albany? Who cares?

Albany is the capital, it's where all the legislators hold their special interest fundraisers and see thier girlfriends.

NYC is the media capital and financial capital.

Truckers cause pain there, you will see results and walltowall media coverage. The NewYorkers will themselves clamor for relief.

In Albany, nothing will happen. It’ll barely get covered by the national media.

If they were promoted to governor, they could fly out of state to rent their girlfriends.

More seriously, I'm glad to see truckers coming together on the issue, though I would think that a more critical city would be a better target. Like Washington, DC (which is really the source of the oil price/energy issue anyway).
