Love this from the comments section:

Fuck them, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK! Leave them with the zombies that they already own..
Get the fuck out, while you can! Don't even go into the city, if you can work from home, DO SO! Shift your life AWAY from their zone of control.. Minimize contact with them.. Cut into their tax base, watch them shrivel into the begging dogs they really are.. See what happens when nobody plays their game.. THIS is how you really hurt them..

Yeah man, destroy the system by selling on ebay for a living.
