Reply to comment by The_Lone_Apple in FDNY wants to up the cost of ambulance rides by more than 50% by NYY657545

Your specific taxes covered a gallon of diesel and 7 bucks worth of hand warmers

My city tax alone was over $6000. It should cover this shit.

It's been a good decade for tech...

But yeah seriously, I know I'm not the median, but I'm also not a billionaire over here. There's over half a million people in NYC alone making my income or more and paying those taxes.

The problem here is never that there's no money for something, the sums allocated to various things in the city budget are mind blowing and not seen in any other city in the world. We just don't seem to get much for it.
