I'm old enough to remember when New York went *bankrupt* and the Republic didn't collapse because of it (2/2)

Front page of New York Daily News from Thursday October 30 1975: Ford To City: Drop Dead Vows He'll Veto Any Bail-Out Abe (Beame), Carey (then Governor) Rip Stand Stocks Skid, Dow Down 12

And like damn - I'll make fun of this state like nothing else, and do all the time, but real people live here, and the GOP HATES this fucking city so much, they're trying to redistrict, and were just at the WH.

"the GOP HATES this fucking city so much" I very much understand. They want to invade my hometown like it was Iraq. And then turn it over to the same people who ruined Iraq. "Chicago-itional Provisional Authority."

Yep - absolutely. My Nazi Lt. Gov and the FOP president would love it so much. They're all up Caitlin Clark's ass, but scared to shit of the city. Okay, dorks.
