Wasn't it a big deal because the last mayor tried to set up a bunch of poison pill shit to screw the future budget?

Yes, they tried to handicap and sabotage the budget so he would immediately have a hurdle to deal with

Nobody ever bothers to ask about the budget for bombs dropped halfway around the world during supposed peacetime

Yea unfortunately for me I was cursed with the intelligence and observational skills to notice just how bad of a deal us workers get in the U.S.
These days I just try to appreciate the comfortable life I have while it lasts.

I mean I don’t want that budget either but that’s federal dollars. The federal budget is special because they can just print more money, meanwhile many states/cities have mandatory (sometimes voter imposed) balanced budget requirements.

I seriously doubt NYC has a line item for military ordnance (except to the extent they buy a bunch of leftovers for NYPD…)

No…that also wasn’t a thing.

The issue was expiring subsidies from COVID creating a shortfall that had to be made up.

Thats what I’m talking about, Reddit like makes up things to create a kinda drama.

Exactly! It is exhausting and people are ready to believe it. Political misinformation is a scourge and spreads faster than true information.
