Hasn't NYC subsidized the rest of the state while getting little in return from them in the past?

I mean, yes, because NYC is where the money is. Manhattan is full of millionaires, and most of Upstate is either farmland or abandoned company towns that have spent the last three decades trying to rebuild after Kodak/Xerox/GE packed up and moved out.

Can't get blood from a stone.

They're not gonna leave no matter how much they threaten. A few maybe, but not a significant amount. No matter what, it's still THE New York City. My old sugar daddy used to bitch and moan about how he'd leave the city if Mamdani was elected and he's still there and his life has barely changed. He's screening my calls now though, pray for me
