Summary
In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ breaks down the New York City affordability contradiction: politicians promise to make life cheaper for working families while protecting expensive government payrolls, overtime systems, pensions, and insider benefits. Using the story of a public housing plumber supervisor and broader city labor costs, TJ argues that Democrats cannot claim to fight for affordability while asking ordinary taxpayers to fund a system that often benefits protected insiders first.
