Maybe if you used your head a little bit instead trying to throw a tantrum you would see it more clearly.

So the entire city of New York doesn't have any middle class people? Lol. So the relatives I always visit in Queens and the people all around them living a middle class life is a fragment of my imagination? Everyone living decently in New York are the ultra elite CEOs then?

Don't even know why I bother debating with people that clearly have no clue.

The sky hasn't fallen on the middle class? I'd be more than glad to open a thread at the political forum and we can discuss how the sky has totally fallen on the middle class, especially since Reagan in the 80's. Probably the worst thing I've read on this site.
So what if you have lived in NYC before? In fact since you didn't make it, that quite clearly establishes your obvious agenda here. Guess what, just because someone is not good enough to make it doesn't mean actually talented people won't either. Yeah it's not always fair, sometimes talent is not what gets picked, but instead of making conspiracy theories about that being the norm, wise up and acknowledge your limitations. There is no shame it in and I grantee you will be a lot happier person if you do so.

What would going to a political forum accomplish really? It would be more tantrums from people like you thinking the would sucks and is out the get them because you clearly didn't have what it took to make it. No thank you, I have already read enough garbage posts for the day.

Mr Robot is entertaining fiction, but you know you have a problem when you start using that line of thinking is real life.

Chicago could literally have one family from Vanuatu and to you, Chicago's got a Melanesian community.

And let me know when you find those Trinidadian numbers for Chicago. Seriously, I'm genuinely interested and part of me wants to believe it's not that easy to shut down your whole Chicago diversity argument.
Lol. Relax. I misread "significant" as "insignificant" in your previous post. I'm not trying to be revisionist. I was literally pointing out the fact that you have argued that populations numbering in the thousands (or ten thousands, for that matter) in Chicago are "insignificant."

If you could have easily shut down my argument, you would have done so by now. So far this thread, you just look reactionary and infantile.

I think I have shut down your argument. Where are those Trinidadian numbers again? So far this thread, all you've managed to look is shifty and infantile, with hardly any sources to your claims or counterarguments. And when you're called out on it, you like to play word games, revise what you meant or get needlessly nitpicky.

Lol, and if anyone needs to relax, it's you. By your own admission, you've sided with NYC. I don't see why you feel the need to overanalyze arguments or interpret literally metrics that overwhelmingly favor New York. Devil's advocate can be fun, but I don't think it's working for you here.

Anyways, care to move the conversation in a new direction?
