New York State, once the “Empire State” has become a shell - with the fake, printed money and debt of Wall Street supporting all of New York City, and running NY’s politics - while the remainder of the State turns back into Appalachia.

I’ve worked for Wall Street Investment Banks. they do treat employees really well. That being said, I certainly dont approve of some of their more dubious actions.

And when mom in law buys the farm, I am out of here.

most of the physical state is beautiful, lots of woods, lakes, farms and lots of charming small towns...

but their tax structure and business culture is very poor....

they won't allow fracking because some big muckety muck isn't going to get his big payday so why let those loser upstaters earn a few dollars?...

they give out obscene state pensions and then don't tax them for the state income tax....when most of their retirees are state retirees how are they going to function?...

and the graft....there was a big commission appointed by Cuomo to select 3 sites for new big non indian casinos....the Southern Tier had a racino for many years, and the owner really put a lot of money into...maintaining a race course, plus a casino, plus live entertainment...and the Southern Tier has been devastated with the poor NY economy....

but suddenly right before the big announcement was made, the "rules" were changed to include some never heard of site in central NYS and guess what?...that casino and their backers got the bid instead of the Southern Tier....

you can't fight graft...
