They will laugh at this. $100-$200 a week is nothing. They keep saying if we invest and do this by spending huge sums of money there won’t be these issues. Well ever watch a show like drugs inc where they interview and work with real drug dealers? Many make many thousands per week dealing drugs. It’s not uncommon to hear them say $20,000 or $30,000 per week. I’m sure they are the area leader or whatever they are called but $100-$200 a week isn’t even groceries these days. Good luck.

How much they gonna pay the good, law abiding citizens to stand by and allow these payments to happen? Which, in an unexpected paradox, would certainly make this get very interesting, very quickly.

Correct. I’m not a criminal so I should apparently be paid for it.

We're putting up with them (the politicians.) How about they pay us before we get pissed off?

These are minimum wage crooks. The top dollar crooks are in Albany.

Mayor Ben is a pussy, now he's proven himself to be a stupid pussy. Pussy mayor Ben Walsh *took a knee* during a protest in Syracuse during the 2020 summer of love. I've lived in and or around Syracuse all my life. And over the years about 90% of the city has turned into a shithole.
