NY is very important in the world of politics. They gave us Donald Trump, Rudy Gulliani, Mike Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo...

That's a small argument bro. Where were the Wright Brothers and einstein born? Surely it should give us more like them.

Except it doesnt. Where a person's story begins is step one.

Millions of people in New York do not achieve that level of national prominence. The place alone doesn’t guarantee it.

You're right. It also gave us people like Epstein, Diddy, and Harvey Weinstein.
