Governor Pencil Neck Poindexter (Bob Ferguson),
just signed a blatantly Unconstitutional State Law into effect taxing the income of anyone making one million dollars or more.
The State Constitution expressly forbids an Income Tax and the voters have shot it down repeatedly, knowing full well that in short order that the one million dollar cap is going to drop to fifty thousand in no time.
The ink wasn’t even dry on it when a challenge was filed.
Large companies that originated here are already fleeing the state and it’s going to get worse.
This is what we can expect,
I’m glad I saw NYC before it was a shithole.
I’m glad I saw America before the corruptocrats destroyed it.
I have a few old friends that where life long NYC’s. they all out of there now and have been for the last 10 years now. most of them sold out when the “market” was still “good” kind of . as they put it. there all retired but for one or two and even they moved out of that shithole years ago. what pisses me off the most is I remember
the cities when they where great in the 1960’s. wonderful places to be.
a guy I went to high school made mega bucks buying old run down houses and redoing them in the 1980’s and 90″s as he told me later on, the first 3 where tight.
after that, they paid for themselves and the next 3-4 houses.
his Dad was a plumber who did well and his kid did a lot better. then too he had help from other guys in the trades working under the table say back when work was hard to find. in the early 1990’s he was doing a warehouse into apartments
last time I saw him, he was sanding the floor in that warehouse. big ass floor sander cleaning up real nice old oak floor boards. and clouds of dust !
he put sheets over the windows and had some monster floor fans blowing out.
every 20 minutes or so, he had to shake out the sheets and they got choked with the damn dust. I must say, the floors came out really good looking afterwards.
This is what Grok has to say:
No, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is not leaving NYC. Its historic headquarters and primary operations remain at the iconic building on Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, where it has been based for over a century.

What actually happenedIn February 2025, the NYSE (owned by Intercontinental Exchange) announced it would reincorporate its existing NYSE Chicago division (a fully electronic equities exchange) and rename/relocate it to NYSE Texas, headquartered in Dallas. This is an expansion adding a secondary electronic trading and listing venue, not a relocation of the main NYSE.
ir.theice.com
NYSE Texas is designed to serve companies in the South and Southwest (Texas already has more NYSE-listed companies than any other state).
It operates electronically — no traditional trading floor like the iconic NYC one.
The NYSE has explicitly stated this broadens its footprint and does not replace its New York operations.

The plan predates any recent NYC political developments (it was announced well before the 2025 mayoral election involving Zohran Mamdani).Why the rumor spreadSocial media and some headlines amplified the story as “NYSE leaving for Texas” or “fleeing socialist policies,” especially after Mamdani’s win and amid broader talk of Wall Street firms expanding to lower-tax, business-friendly states like Texas and Florida. Fact-checks from outlets like Yahoo Finance and Snopes rated the full “leaving NYC” claim as false.

Dallas is indeed growing as a financial hub (“Y’all Street”):NYSE Texas leased space in Dallas (Old Parkland campus) and plans to open in 2026.
Nasdaq announced its own Texas presence.
A separate Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) is also launching in Dallas in 2026 to compete with NYSE/Nasdaq.

Many individual Wall Street firms (e.g., Goldman Sachs building a big Dallas campus, JPMorgan with more Texas employees than in NY) are expanding southward, and Dallas’ mayor has talked up a potential “flood” of moves. But this is about decentralization and growth, not the NYSE itself abandoning its NYC home.Bottom lineThe core NYSE — the “Big Board” with its trading floor, bell ringings, and primary listings — stays in New York City. The Dallas move is just one more electronic venue in a multi-venue system (trading happens across many platforms anyway). Rumors of a full exodus appear to be exaggerated or misleading.
And yet he wears a badge with the insignia of the Dem Party and likely still votes Dem. He can’t see the forest for the trees.
He’s Democrap by the lapel pin He’s right…. which is weird for a.Dem.
The “Secretary of State” denied/rejected the filings (as expected) and actually inserted the word “or” into his quote of the State Constitution to justify his rejection. So now its up to the (bought and paid for by the Occupying Party) State Supreme Rubber Stamp…I mean Court…..
I’ll bet he brings his tired old blue voting pattern with him wherever he goes, never realizing that he’s the problem.
Bullshit, most of the wallstreet operations are marxist look at fink.
