Elections have consequences. Maybe one of these decades, the NYers will learn.
The idiots voted for the socialist Democrats so this serves them right.
New Yorkers keep electing and re-electing HORRIBLE politicians. I don’t feel that sorry for them, they need to stop putting such sh*tty leftists in power.
Excellent work Cuomo. You met your objective.
Venezuela II.
If you like lockdown, you’ll love the Green New Deal.
It sounds like Gov. Cuomo absolutely despises minorities.

Headline should be “Coronavirus INSANITY AND IDIOCY Forces 100 Small Businesses To Close Permanently”.
They love it. If they starve people, they will vote for them. So they believe.
The virus did not kill the businesses; the Communist lockdowns or imprisonments did.
They are the drones who filled the streets weeping when Stalin died.
The Dream Cafe, Mom and Pop Shoe Store, The Soup Stand.
Just devastating.
Bump
It was the plan from the start. Screw the economy and elect Biden. So transparent.
Headline is fake news. Governments response to Coronavirus destroyed these businesses. The lie needs to be confronted over and over and over again until the truth comes out.
