I just commented the Trump verdict is going to kill NY business relationships and Scott Adams is already saying he will no longer do business in New York (twitter.com)

while no one cares about Scott Adams, something like a trucking or shipping embargo could really fuck them up.

Without New York, who will gamble invest your retirement money into financial derivatives? Think of all the value they bring shuffling paper around (usually into their own pockets).

Sounds like 34 pending charges right there...

It is weird how they believe that. I've had that argument out too. They think as long as they have money they will have food brought to them.

The thought is, generally speaking, true. The amount of money needed will go up and up, but there are enough mercenary Americans who will, eventually, for enough money, help New Yorkers.

For 5k, some druggie with a motorbike over in New Jersey will Uber Eats your meal to you in NY.

So they aren't wrong on the surface level, but the question is how long can the supporting structure, the poor and downtrod supporting class of NY, stand it?

Yeah... but once it starts to break down people would intercept that uber guy before he got to your house. Maybe he would shoot them, like the delivery driver in Snow Crash. Maybe they'd shoo thim.

I guess Gazan elites have food. That's all I can think of right now to compare.

Pratchett died too early.

Imagine the endless carts of goods not coming and going from Ankh-Morpork any more.

Kevin O'Leary has been refusing to invest in NY since the Trump real estate suit trial. This is just yet another reason to not do business in NY/NYC. Dilbert alone isn't going to do much but I don't think he's alone.

A blue-collar action would certainly hit them harder but bleeding out businesses will still hurt in the long run.

Yeah this isn't the first or last nail in that coffin. They will make it suck more and more until more people refuse. And then these states tend to go through a 'business friendly' period where more fortunes are made.

It was the same thing with California population. Amidst Great Replacement it never shrank. Until it did. It sucked more and more until even immigrants said it's greener elsewhere.

The US feds aren't going to let a Canada style freedom convoy happen.
