Comment on NY Gov. Kathy Hochul sending National Guard members to New York City subways to combat ongoing crime

Probably one of the more annoying things to come out of COVID is that all of a sudden every governor in the country realized they have this big red button called the “National Guard” that when pressed gives you cheap labor. Most Guardsmen aren’t military police and aren’t trained to fight crime. Those that are MPs are probably civilian police already and just change uniforms. State Active Duty orders don’t pay as much as Federal Active Duty orders so you sometimes are forcing people to leave their high paying jobs to go do something they don’t want to do while getting shafted in the bank account.
