Yes I’m aware, it was literally a sarcastic comment, not a brain-dead take.

When the state tax coffers are covering a 4 billion dollar municipal deficit, and the state coffers are disproportionately funded by NYC residents, it’s just a case of the left hand stealing from the right pocket. There is still a 4 billion dollar deficit, it’s just being paid for by either a different tax revenue stream, or budget cuts to a different set of services

“we balanced the budget without needing to raise municipal taxes… by raising your state taxes”

If we have to pronounce every country or place as its residents call it then we should roast and ignore every English speaker that says “Germany” instead of Deutschland

The lowest hanging fruit here is probably Mexico
