Manhattan is an island off the coast of America. Are we part of the United States? Kind of. And this is one of the toughest times we’ve had in quite a while.
But one thing I know for sure: The last thing we need in the thick of so many challenges is some putz on LinkedIn wailing and whimpering, “Everyone’s gone! I want 2019 back!”
Oh, shut up. Imagine being in a real war with this guy by your side.
Listening to him go, “I used to play chess all day. I could meet people. I could start any type of business.” Wipe your tears, wipe your butt and pull it together.
He says he knows people who have left New York for Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, Indiana. I have been to all of these places many, many, many times over many decades. And with all due respect and affection, Are .. You .. Kidding .. Me?!
He says Everyone’s gone for good. How the hell do you know that? You moved to Miami. Yes, I also have a place out on Long Island. But I will never abandon New York City. Ever.
And I have been onstage at your comedy club Stand Up N.Y. quite a few times. It could use a little sprucing up, if you don’t mind my saying. I wouldn’t worry about it. You can do it from Miami.

RE: Yes, I also have a place out on Long Island. But I will never abandon New York City. Ever.
Yeah, it’s easy for a multi-millionaire to say.
Exactly.
But NYC will roar back. Sometime. As long as it’s not nuked.
Maybe donating a few vintage Porsches to the homeless would help.
Yadda Yadda Yadda
Jerry can afford to keep a house there. He’s past the wealth barrier. He also structures his money to avoid paying most of their taxes, most likely.
It is an important port city, so it isn’t going to die in an absolute fashion. However, I think it will have a more sedate future
Where would Wall Street relocate to? Dallas?
I”m not sure sedate is the word I’d use...
What I think the reaction to the Kung Flu is doing is spiking the ball after slowly moving inch by inch away from the cities. Kind of like the Cleveland Browns offense. It's taken 100 years of slow progress but the new establishment has been repelled by the wannabe commies!
Hey, Jerry! Can you eat inside like a normal civilized human being? in New York City? No? Then what good is that place?
The comedian guy? Please clap.
NYC has been dead to me for decades.
Even Rudy couldn’t generate any interest for me.
DaCommieo? LOL.
Neighbor’s brother has a restaurant in Queens. He has been told he can fully open up in June 2021!
WS could easily relocate to Sioux Falls, a former [maybe current] Credit Card Center.
Even now Wall Street is an obsolete anachronism.
All trading occurs in cyberspace.
