1·6 days agowhat makes you think New York City deserves more relevance than other places? What specifically gives it more importance beyond population size or media attention?

1·6 days agoAh, there it is! the grand finale of the last word freak. You’ve circled all the way back to saying nothing, but louder this time.
You belong on reddit.
Been hearing that for 30 years. That and the rapture is tomorrow. And aliens coming the day after that.

1·7 days agoThat’s not a flaw in my point, that’s the whole point. No city has inherent importance, least of all New York. It’s a monument to self-congratulation — a place that mistakes its own noise for relevance. When the money dries up or people move on, it’ll be just another overbuilt relic.
You keep demanding some mystical definition of “inherent importance” because you need it to exist, not because it does.
Your just a silly plate of spaghetti at this point and a last word freak.

2·7 days agoBut Chipotle sucks. There’s a reason we dont make it at.home. its another version of subway. Which is horrible fast food.
In the UK subway lost the rights to call their loaves bread because of the sugar content.
She has no points
A) women are voluntarily driving 100% of demand for this drug B) if we could make it for guys, we would. C) if we did unplanned pregnancies would dry up and women’s power/control of birth would change vastly for the first time in our biological history.
This screen shot is meaningless kindergarten thinking.

1·9 days agoYour entire reply boils down to feelings instead of facts. Zero evidence, zero logic, just noise.
If you want to debate, bring an argument instead of a tantrum. Right now you are just a bowl spaghetti w/o sauce n cheese.

13·10 days agoFinancial centers are not holy ground. They are habits that formed because of historical momentum, not because the soil under Wall Street produces capital.
London used to be the unquestioned financial center of the world. Before that, Amsterdam. Before that, Venice. None of those cities lost intelligence or charm. The center moved because technology and incentives changed.
The New York Stock Exchange is a brand name. The actual computers executing trades sit in New Jersey. A huge amount of financial work has already shifted to cities like London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and to digital platforms that do not care what city they are in. People stay in New York because of existing connections and infrastructure. That is convenience, not destiny.
Claiming New York is inherently responsible for the success of global finance is like saying the Oscars create good movies because the awards happen in Los Angeles. If the event moved to Cleveland tomorrow, the films would still be made by filmmakers, not sidewalks.
Now make an argument worth arguing against.

13·10 days agoThat’s a small argument bro. Where were the Wright Brothers and einstein born? Surely it should give us more like them.
Except it doesnt. Where a person’s story begins is step one.
Millions of people in New York do not achieve that level of national prominence. The place alone doesn’t guarantee it.

15·10 days agoIf a plate of spaghetti is what people want, the kitchen it came from is just a container. You can move the same recipe to a different kitchen and the dish still satisfies the same hunger. The restaurant does not create the value. The spaghetti does.
In the same way, the power of markets and industries does not depend on New York. The companies, the capital, the investors, and the trades are the real substance. They could operate successfully in another city because the value is generated by the economic activity itself, not by the street address. The spaghetti is what feeds people. The kitchen is replaceable.

212·11 days agoThe New York Stock Exchange does not prove New York is uniquely strong. New York benefits from hosting it, but the power comes from the global market, not from the location.
It is just a place where companies come to trade. The success belongs to the businesses and investors, not the building or the city.
The exchange is digital now, so the trades could happen anywhere with fast internet. If the NYSE moved to another city, the same companies and money would follow.
Again…New York benefits from hosting it, but the power comes from the global market, not from the location.
