> Really?? Lmao, fuck your condescension. You made a statement without anything to back it up.
What exactly do you need back up for. Do you understand the concept or not?
>Which civic resources, specifically, are we going to run out of?
Economic Revenue to businesses and employees in this city; Tax Revenue.
>The MTA may be crying about lost revenue due to ridership being down, but the fact is that there are plenty of people coming in to the office at least one day a week and tourists are back en force.
No, the fact is that MTA ridership is down 30-40% and it is not sustainable to keep up operations at the same level. So the city and state will need to make a big decision on how they are gong to fix that gap.
> It's readjusting, if anything.
Okay, and the readjustment will be toward lower investment into public services. And that trade off might be worth it if most people are just sitting at home anyways.

So find new sources of that. We have the most billionaires in the world. I’d say start there.

What the fuck does this even mean. You need a news source to understand how consumer spending drives the economy of this city? You can't just use simple logic?
What does the existence of billionaires have to do with the general economy of the city? Do you think the number of billionaires in a city impacts spending at the local bodega, local restaurants, local drugstores? Do you think billionaires are just a magic source of money for everything the city wants to accomplish?
