I work in the financial services sector. You work in some social services outfit helping poor people get welfare.
Who do you think is likely to be earning more money?
Here is the difference between me and you. You see the world in a self centered way, I see the world in its entirety. I am aware that if a society is only the rich and the poor, it fails. There aren't enough rich people to support the poor. So who is going to pay for all these social programs and YOUR salary? Because if you over tax me I am out of here.
All those middle class people who have decided that if they must pay $2,000 in rent they will never be able to find the 20% down to pay for a $350k home, so they move some where else where they can.
So when your nurse must drive in from upstate in one of our infamous winter storms and you have an operation that day, and they tell you that they hired a temp, because the real nurses can't get in. Yes the temp who lives 5 to each bedroom, maybe you will get my point. And yes I hear all about that drama, especially when some prima dona surgeon refuses to operate, because he doesn't like the substitute nurses, this while YOU the patient languishes, .
Because it is clear that you are self centered.
Last year you hated poor people and screamed that Section 8 destroys neighborhoods, and called blacks who live in Wakefield losers, because (according to you) most were gov't workers.
Now your circumstances has changed so you change your tune. You just can't see beyond your own immediate situation.

I never called most Blacks in Wakefield losers because they worked in the government. Stop putting words into my mouth. I HATE WAKEFIELD because it's a SLUM, plain and SIMPLE.
And if you move out of NYC or get laid off in the next financial services crisis, I will not shed a tear. Instead I'd probably take out a bottle of champagne. Goodbye!
And stop this the ridiculous attempt to manipulate me with scenarios that DO NOT EFFECT me on the present, real world, in part because they do not exist.
I've never had any problem getting medical care in all my years in NYC. If that were to ever change in the future, I will deal with that at THAT TIME.
NYC was around before you were born, for centuries and it will be around long after you're gone. Get over yourself, dude!
You can stay or you can leave. It really makes no difference to anyone BUT you! Your job, assuming your employer is still intact, will simply replace you and life will go on.
