Discussion
Escapar de los polΓticos, son nuestros enemigos
one of the best tools individuals have against shit politicians is moving
Lamentable
Or barring a future prime minister from your CBI conference dinner as my father did to Gordon Brown when he turned up in a business suit to a black tie event π
Move and uproot your entire life because of an asshole mayor?
Not an option for many.
well i moved five years ago, so this mayoral election is simply one product of a more worrisome trend
and if you cant afford to move i get it, that sucks
I changed the country because of that, one of the best decisions of my life. Also, sometimes we need a fresh start.
well played
Former NYCer. City went to shit a LONG time ago. Anyone on the island... Watch Escape from New York as your training guide.
what if you have your house, family, job, assets, friends... in that city? it's easier said than done for most
mayor elections in big blue cities = rearranging titanic deck chairs
Ppl always complain about elections. Has anyone actually been happy with a president the last two decades? Doesn't mean you should leave america... Same applies to your city
Lived in NYC for a decade. Still fucking love it. Best city in the world for lots of things. The art, culture, parties, events, niche communities are unmatched. BUT, the cost of living, the heavy focus on socialism, the insane taxes, the diversion between the ultra rich and the middle class failing to afford rent was so so so stark that I left. Maybe when BTC is a million, I'll move back π
