Nobody who comes up in NYS is clean, it seems. Gotta get dirty to work the machine.

It's been a good decade for tech...

But yeah seriously, I know I'm not the median, but I'm also not a billionaire over here. There's over half a million people in NYC alone making my income or more and paying those taxes.

The problem here is never that there's no money for something, the sums allocated to various things in the city budget are mind blowing and not seen in any other city in the world. We just don't seem to get much for it.

No; your taxes only pay for about 15% of the cost of FDNY EMS; the rest is funded through cost recovery.
