See that's part of the reason I can't really take you seriously in discussion, it's because of the insults, which just shows me that you don't have the capacity to partake in these types of discussions. The name-calling bothers me none, but it really drags the conversation down.
There's no name calling. Your arguments can only mean one of two things. You're either arguing.in bad faith or you completely misunderstand what's going on. It can also be a combination of the two (probably the worst scenario).
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by claiming that you argue in bad faith. Should I believe otherwise?
And no need to take my objection so literally. The point was your trivializing -- or wilfully disregarding -- my actual and valid reasons for preferring WFH.
No, I totally get it. Streets are dangerous and commuting is expensive. My feelings are that this should have been concerns of yours even before Covid, but that does not seem to be the case. If you were always concerned about crime and the cost of your commute prior to March 2020 then I stand corrected.

My man, the parasites in this city work hand in hand with the politicians to craft the system. You think the politicians craft and expand the welfare system because they're so generous? Without one the other wouldn't exist.
Got any examples for the bolded? I'm all ears.

You were not thinking about your neighborhood business owner before Covid, you're simply operating out of convenience. And there's nothing wrong with that, but let's be honest.
How wrong you are. I'm a huge proponent of supporting local businesses. Don't presume to know me.

Businesses exist to offer "convenience" to their customers ( goods or services that fill a need)?
NYCs welfare state has warped your view of reality.

You're free to believe whatever you want, it would be pretty naive of me to think I could change your train of thought. I just mostly get into dialogue to see if people are capable of seeing both sides of the coin. IMO many are unable to.

I think you're misunderstanding. So I'll say it like this. Grocer by your house, grocer in Midtown. If you want to support the grocer by your house, why not buy the sandwich there and take it to work the next day instead of patronizing the Midtown grocer?

See what I mean by bad faith? Give you examples of how the welfare class in this city works hand in hand with politicians to maintain and expand their handouts? You're not serious, right?

Are you seriously suggesting that nothing has changed in terms of cost of living and crime levels from pre-Covid days?

Suppose someone else was reading this conversation and was just as curious as me about the bolded. Wanted to learn more about the situation, even. At least provide some examples that support what you're saying. Otherwise who's going to take what you're saying seriously?
