So fuck everybody living in New York that lives in the north where it's absolutely frigid and freezing for 9 months out of the year so what are they going to do cut the forest down I'm sure the legislation would appreciate that happening. So they going to charge extra for gas to making New York unaffordable so people start running for it. It's such a shame because the state is so beautiful but yet it's run by complete fucking morons. And it's been like that forever.
This is why letting big cities control entire states does not work. The counties need to remove themselves from the cities grasp and tell them to fuck themselves when they want things like food and water.
Like a city over a certain population size becomes a city-state and then to your point the state is released from the city's grasp. Unfortunately they'll probably all go democrat which will twist up congress but since they're all the same I guess that doesn't really matter.
