NYS has a blessed landscape of many lakes, important rivers such as the Hudson, St. Lawrence Seaway, borders two Great Lakes and has tons of great farmland, orchards, and forests....

and they have natural gas but Cujo wasn't going to let those upstaters get a once in a lifetime dose of wealth since him and his cronies weren't in on it....

and thats' the attitude....

If it ain't benefitting his unions or his cronies, forgetabout.

you can't run an economy if the only people making money are the govt workers....many who escape to other states when they're finished ...

Of course, the downside is the NY exodus will flip Florida, and likely others.

It’s built into the left wing genome.

New Yorkers realized they can do their high paying jobs from home. So why live in a hellhole?

Yet, the morons will vote in a Dem as both governor and mayor the next time around, and doubtless a solid majority of both the state legislature and city council. What pisses me off is not what they have done to their own state, but that most of those who leave have learned exactly NOTHING, and vote for the exact same type of pols and policies in whatever state they move to. That’s how the f’d up New Jersey, which used to be a primarily rural and conservative state.

>> Homeless people were spotted drinking in the Upper West Side and urinating publicly

Been that way for a while even in Midtown well before COVID.

The only three things that can save New York State & New York City are: POTUS, Donald J. Trump gets re-elected to being POTUS, New York State elects a Republican Conservative Governor, NYC elects a Republican Conservative, Mayor.

And....The Democrat Party must be totally, politically destroyed across the state immediately. Otherwise New Yorkers have two choices: Stay in NY and die as the state has done, or pack up your bags and head south to Florida or Texas!!!

Too bad you NY folks have no backbone or guts, cause if ya did, you would have already thrown out both Cuomo & De Blasio...Go figure, folks!!! the handwriting of totally failed state is clearly written on the blackboard...period!!! Go Trumpie!!! Go, Pence!!! Go, GOP!!!

This survey has been rating NY as having the worst economic outlook for six years in a row. It is not a new indicator or a predictor of the impact of the virus. Given the current narrative that NY has contained the virus I think it will bounce back by the end of the year. On a side note, my brother was holding out on buying a car in June because he thought that used car prices will go lower. They are now higher than before the pandemic.

Look at the bottom 10 states on that list. ALL of them are blue states.

Here in North Carolina our idiot governor is a Democrat, but that will be corrected in a few months. Both houses of the legislature are overwhelmingly Republican, both of our US Senators are Republican and about 3/4s of our US Representatives are Republican.

The MSM lies and tries to claim North Carolina is a “swing state”. No. Despite the influx of leftist Yankees, this is still a Southern state.

Nice work...a lot of research and a lot more time coding but the result makes it very clear.

New Jersey is third from last, for a reason it shares with NY: There is little economic opportunity here, especially for young workers.

NY is offering “free” tuition which is actually a variation on indentured servitude; after graduation, you must remain in the state for as many years as you received the “free” tuition - and the servitude comes in when you realize you could never live there for 4-5 years without working (it is too expensive).

This ChiCom flu just accelerated the death of states with horrible economies by allowing employers to either move more easily or at least use workforces elsewhere. NY is facing a problem now where people who pour into NYC every day from NJ and CT will not be paying NYC or NYS income taxes while they are working from their own states; there is no way to compensate for that shortfall.

People in NYC are their own worst enemies. It’s now too dangerous to speak out about this lunacy.

The state unemployment rate is over 17%, and way higher than that in some parts of the state.

Local and state enemedia do their damndest to bury that info on a daily basis.

It’s not just the rich bailing. It’s anyone with money.

NYS has been replacing makers with takers for decades.

It’s why we’ve lost almost half our House seats over the last 60 years.

Those policies have finally blown up in our pols’ faces.
