Truckers must include Northern NJ, Westchester in this boycott, as few long-distance trucks actually enter NYC - they are all served by distribution warehouses outside the city. To really have an effect, they must include Hunts Point in their boycott, the main food/meat distribution point for the tri-state area

I thought I saw that the boycott was cancelled due to low participation.

I like what Elon Musk said in a recent interview (I paraphrase):

“The only laws that matter are the Laws of Physics. Anything else is just a recommendation.”

Here, I believe we have “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”.

Or, more succinctly, “sow the wind, reap the whirlwind”.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving city.

Except, maybe Albany, the seat of the government that NYC elects for the state every year.

Living in such an obviously corrupt state has a consequence. Anyone there should also loudly complain in public so others overhear about the free money be given to all of the illegals by the Rats running the city and state.

Leticia’s James is the AG of New York State that, along with the $335 million fine against Trump for doing real estate while being disliked by the state of New York whom she represents, includes Westchester, Southampton, Buffalo and Rochester

She speaks for all New Yorkers.

What NYC really needs is more illegal immigrants from the border states in tandem with what you suggest.

“Exclusive: NY AG says she’s prepared to seize Trump’s assets”

Do you want to say something about this?

Leticia’s James .... speaks for all New Yorkers.

~~~

I am not intimately familiar with New York politics but I doubt this. Like 90+ % of Illinois geographical area being dominated and overrided by the whims of the Chicago population, I suspect the majority of the people in the areas outside NYC and perhaps a few other urban areas have absolutely no desire to see a lawfare persecution of Trump.

My brother is a mid haul trucker in St. Louis. He has been contacted 3 times to run loads from the Mid West to NYC. He quoted them double his normal price. No takers yet, but they get hungry enough, yeah, he will be hauling to NY

Long time in coming, but this reality should have been noticed and some massive fee program should have been put upon the region even in the 1990s.

One can bring up the topic with truckers and they will all have their top ten favorite cities to enter/deliver. And then they have ten worst places.

“ majority of the people in the areas outside NYC and perhaps a few other urban areas have absolutely no desire to see a lawfare persecution of Trump.”

Westchester will be affected by the boycott

That’s my only point

James was elected NY State AG

Any New Yorker not liking what she is doing in their name can quit whining g tgat it is affecting their section and realize she is AGnofvtgeir state who just shut down Trump in a political way

Starve the taxis and limos.

Make the elite have to take the streets and subways to get around.

We own vacation property in New York.

We never buy groceries in NYS. It's too expensive. We load up the car with NH groceries before leaving. Ice cream is the only thing we buy in New York.

It's a pity because it's a beautiful state with wonderful people. Elise Stefanik is our congress critter there.
