I'll bet the greedy bastards even have the audacity to pay their PROPERTY TAXES!!!
And if we let 'em get away with that, I'll bet they even try to turn a PROFIT!!!

The land is nearly worthless. There is little property tax to pay on worthless land. They are gambling that, in time, the city will rise again.
Believe it or not, Pete, some people still take the long view and gamble on the future.
Just because the city is in the mess it's in today, doesn't mean it will be forever.

A time honoured American tradition, if you have an unfunded defined benefit pension plan find a judge who will let you declare bankruptcy and you can ditch the plan, The list of corporations that have gotten away with this would stretch from coast to coast.

Yeah, but it's for our own good. You see, the less rewarding work is, the better off we are. Only pussies expect to retire some day, anyways. Haven't you heard?

In two more years I will have been drawing my pension for the same number of years that I worked for the company.

But they're wolves, and must be stopped!
Unless they're actually wolves, then they must be protected!
Unless the carcass they're chewing on is Fido, then they must be stopped!
Unless its the neighbor's dog that barks too much, then let those wolves eat it!

Wolves and fleas? Must be some apocalyptic vision of what's to come. I dunno...none of it makes much sense to me. Fatalism, perhaps?
