You heard people died? I mean, I'm sure people died during the strike, but I didn't hear of anyone dying because of the strike.

Yeah. This shows--yet again--how truly FUBAR things are when you dig a little beneath the surface. In the end, it's all about money.

"In the end, it's all about money."

Not to be late, but as someone who has cared about NYC's economy for a while, retail does mean a lot. Retail is money not only for big corporations, but also the people that work for them. And a huge loss of tax dollars.

I'm very pro-union, but I'm actually counting the days until Toussaint appears before a judge (9). The city lost 12 mil in sales tac revenue, and the business in generall lost hundreds of millions. Some of that money goes into our schools. Definitely a priority.
