I’ll be damned if I’m going to live in the state of Long Island.

XO, Queens

Long Island “the douche state” has a ring to it

Please do and blow up the Queens, RFK Bridge and Midtown Tunnel - all those firemen and carpenters can stop sapping all the pension money out of the NYC budget

I first saw this I was totally prepared to add my two cents concerning Long Island Ice Teas. As a consultation, I love any city named Queens 🙂

I used to live there. Periodically, the question of forming a new state would come up, but it was the people who lived upstate who wanted to secede and form a new state, because they felt that too much of their tax money was going toward programs in the NYC area.

Sure. They don't seem to like each other anyway. Just like California, split it up.. And Texas for that matter.
🐣I gave no real thought to this answer btw🐣
