Hats off, to all those brave job-seekers in Manhattan!
"Wow!" said the cabbie in Gotham, and "Oh wow!" sez I, sitting at my desk after watching this video of gutsy New Yorkers.

Beware, we're talking about 250 million US dollars already paid as federal occupational disability money to early LIRR retirees since Y2K.
