minus-squareFlashMobOfOne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 month ago The state gave the city around 8 billion. So, you’re telling me, that people’s taxes are being used to pay for services that benefit them in addition to billionaires being taxed? Inject that shit into my veins. People’s taxes being used to fund their services is how this shit is supposed to work.
