Former Long Island Representative George Santos received a sentence of seven years and three months in prison, reflecting broader corruption issues in New York. The article humorously critiques the city's political landscape, referring to it as the 'greatest city' while highlighting its challenges like crime, high taxes, and corrupt politicians. The author reflects on the thriving culture and wealth of New York, contrasted with the corruption and lack of genuine concern for citizens from elected officials. The sentiment suggests a need for change and a critique of governmental employment prevalence over genuine civic responsibility.
"Our pols go to the can. Get nailed. Sentenced. Dumped. Do their time... Why do so many pick politics instead of weighing tuna at the Fulton Fish Market? Because they're hacks."
"There needs to be a revolution. Greatest city in the world doesn't care about the city. Only about elections. They're building employment in government."
