I see people selling their souls for chump change dished out from sports gambling apps. I cannot fathom a politician couldn't be bought or have his plans frustrated... in New York.
Furthermore, I do not know where all this love and concern for New York is coming from. If the people of New York City want to try communism, why not let them?
