Under leftist Mayor Eric Adams, New York City has showered $billions upon $billions on illegal aliens, even providing them with prepaid credit cards, while driving out the tax base with Marxist policies, forcing cuts in essential services like police. Now is the time for him to give his underlings a $2.1 billion raise:

The salary increases, which Adams approved in February without putting out a press release, will retroactively boost salaries by 16.2% for managers and other non-union employees when compounded annually over a five-year period dating back to 2021. …

Under Adams’ order, managers and non-union staffers making $100,000 will see their pay increase to $112,550 next month and $116,208 the following year.

Most Americans who do actual productive work make a lot less. Systematically destroying a formerly great city pays well:

Anyone earning $200,000 before the agreement – first reported by Politico – would have their salary surge to $225,101 in May and $232,417 next year.

The greed and arrogance of our moonbat rulers are so prodigious, you almost have to stand in awe.

Where will the money to pay for this come from? Your savings, after NYC’s inevitable federal bailout is financed through inflation.
