the median household income in NYC is $57000. there is a huge amount of people in NYC who make up what you're calling the "underclass".

This is such an impressively grotesque admission, but it leads me to one question: why do people willing to throw away retail workers, home health care workers, cashiers, and janitors (you know, the most commonly held jobs in NYC) to the plague, care about 9/11? Shouldn't you and others like yourself have cheered it on? They are "people in NYC," after all.

What? The income distribution of NYC roughly matches that of the USA as a whole. Do you wish ill on the entire USA because a small percentage of Americans have acted unfairly?
