'NYC is a fundamentally different place from back then'

And i think it needs to go back to having less of a role again. The only way we really recover. Sounds line business as usual in your world as most of the country hanging on and Goldman mints a fortune.. LG you do know Wall Street now is really hated in most of America? Once dems and pubs stop fighting each other who do you think is going to get the finger? Was Crimson Ghost was on to something?

I was in the hood I grew up in Queens, think the '7' train about 4-5 stops from Manhattan, about four years ago. First time back since the mid 1980's. Boy was it disgusting and this was during the so called boom. What an 'attitude' the locals have there now. So many turfs, the unions, crappy service,the grit, the high cost of survival, language and customs barriers. That is your working class foundation of the big apple probably not much different than South Central LA except way more diverse? I wonder how it is for the little guy there now four years later when times are tougher? Probably a much harder existence than 30 years ago when I grew up there relative to folks who live out in Glen Cove or Garden City, Long Island who have always had it a bit easier.

Bottom line this great disparity of wealth, debt slavery for the middle class and lack of assimilation by many recent immigrants can't go on much longer without a revolution in our largest gateway cities..
