Hmm, so you're pretty much convinced that NY politicians are corrupt, and this is what you believe, yet you continue to live here and take the abuse.
Why not move? Is continuing to live here and complaining about the situation making it any better for you? Look at our other mod, he moved and life can't be better for him. Take example and change your situation instead of complaining about it.
Why do certain posts bother you and you reply in every thread and tell people to "stop complaining"?
Imagine thinking that earning, what, $200-$250K between two people makes you some kind of NYC big shot. It's like a fox thinking they're king of the jungle and trying to lord it over the local rabbits. Until the eagle eats him.
Since it seems to bother you so much, I'll tell you that there have been years when all by my lonesome I have earned about half again as much as your entire household, and paid commensurate taxes. But I'm not so staggeringly naive as to think it ever made me deserving of special consideration in this city, nor am I the kind of ignorant, damaged person who measures a person's contribution in life or to society simply by how much they earn, or pay in taxes. You're exactly the kind of person who will put on the dictator's petty-thug uniform if the time ever comes because you desperately need something to make yourself feel better than other people, and down deep you know you haven't got anything to offer that actually matters.

If you're really interested, try doubling your number . Not saying it to show off because plenty of people in NYC Make equal or way, way more. I just don't think it's a taboo topic like many do. I worked college jobs making $7.50/hr and grew up in an immigrant household where we literally never took a vacation or went out/ordered in to eat/went to the movies/etc.. So I guess I don't have much sympathy for the long term, able bodied freeloaders in this city.
You might be OK with politicians raping you to satisfy their own ambitions and a growing segment of the population freeloading off of your work without contributing anything in return. More power to you.
Maybe put your money where your mouth is. I'd suggest that you make additional donations to the city's budget? I guarantee you that there's always someone willing to take any extra funds that you have. In fact, if you're so generous, I'll do you one better. For every $5 you donate, I'll donate $1 to the city's budget.
You'll be doing the Lord's work flushing more money down the toilet that is NYCs budget
Oh wait, I surmise you have another agenda though. It's always the same story. The most ardent defenders of the welfare state are those that personally benefit from it. Nothing wrong with it. Just be honest about it.
What makes you think it bothers me? I just merely offered a suggestion. If complaining on here somehow solves your problem, then I'm actually happy that C-D is here to help you, letting others know how you feel can be theraputic
Of course it bothers you. You don't reply in every single thread but you seem to reply in every single thread on certain topics? Why the discrepancy then?
I'm not the one with the problem - maybe spend some more time on the San Diego forum and complain over there too, spread it out equally. Since you want to discuss about who's posting what. You're the one looking for help. I'm not the one obsessing over problems that are well within your control to change.
You're the one who despite making what you make, still feel inadequate and therefore feel the need to make all these aggresive posts. Very unhealthy and unbecoming behavior, you're not in a good mental space. C-D is not to be used as your personal emotional dumpster. What's stopping you from improving your own QOL? You are. Best of luck nonetheless.
First the posts are "complaining" and now they "aggressive"? Ehats an "aggressive" post? That doesn't even make sense.
You literally reply in every single thread on certain topics when someone posts something you don't like. It's always with regard to crime and welfare. Who's the obsessive one?
This is a discussion forum. People come to post and discuss. You literally try to get people to refrain from posting and discussing. Even worse, you're a MOD.
It's like working at a car dealership and telling people not to buy cars. It's very odd. You ever get a woman into bed and then tell them , "nah, I don't engage in sexual activities"? I mean it's lol.
I don't comment in 90% of the threads. Why? The topics don't interest me or I can't add value. It's simple. You engaging in certain threads, means you're interested in the topic.

There's definitely NO denying that certain threads hold your interest more than others.
Lets just hope they don't do the same increase next year.
