Re: Land of the Oppressed
Well, its official,<br /><br />As of today, 8/1/03, it was reported that 17,500 jobs were lost due the smoking ban here in NYC.<br /><br />That adds to 300,000 people who have yet to find a job since they lost their previous job due to the terror attacks on 9/11/01.<br /><br />Thats 17,500 jobs in 7 days!<br /><br />Street cleaners as well as bartenders and waitress' have been laid off due to closings of establishments that just could not survive 1 week without the revenue that the smokers contribute to their business, or now the lack of cigarette butts on the street to keep these people who cleaned them up, gainfully employed.<br /><br />The economy of NYC just cannot survive this blow, what with all that has happened here in the last 3 years.<br /><br />Besides that, all that money that was promised to NYC after 9/11, well the citizens of NYC have yet to see one cent of it, yet Hillary Clinton had 9/11 funds diverted to the Red Cross in her new home town of Chapiquita, NY, to componsate for the loses of 9/11 in her community, but no one from Chapiquita were killed that day, yet Hillary supports the smoking ban!<br /><br />I'll bet the citizens of Chapquita support the smoking ban, what with $1.1million injected into their region, for no just cause , they can afford to take a hit in the employment rate in that community, but the rest of NY cannot!<br /><br />The town of Garden City, NY, lost 26 people that day, yet have recieved nothing from the federal government for those loses!<br /><br />Some of those families are now on welfare, and suffering great depression, yet no assistance!<br /><br />NYC has not recieved any federal monies to get people working again promised after the 9/11 attacks.<br /><br />NYC has not been reinbursed for the costs of 9/11 yet.<br /><br />But the people of NYC must now try to struggle with inadequite fire and police protection.<br /><br />150 new police officers were hired to replace the 21 lost on 9/11, and those officers were already in the acadamy on 9/11, yet NYC has only been able to get 70 new fire fighters to replace the 343 that were lost on 9/11, and they too were in the acadamy at the time of the attacks, because the City doesn't have the money to send another class of cadets through the acadamy's, and has had to close 2 firehouses to cut costs!<br /><br />So how is it that this law that restricts smoking is going to help everyone?<br /><br />It ain't workin here, and its only been 1 week!<br /><br />Kenny
