"New York and California are dead, Jim!"
I can’t say I’m sad about that.
This sucks because they are going to move to Red states and vote to bring their commie laws with them.
Fox News should move their broadcast offices to either Oklahoma City, or Lincoln Nebraska. Then they could just quit caring what happens in New York City (like most of their viewers)
When it’s finally time they can pay their debts by selling off the contents of their public museums for all I care. No bailouts.
“Escape from New York” was a future historical document.
And if we’re smart, we’ll be waiting around the edges of that doomed city and filtering the good (conservatives) from the vermin (progressives).
Cats, dogs and the dead are ready to vote in California.
Reap what you sow.
“the NYC Police Force, once the best police force in the entire world.”
Um, one word, Serpico!
NYPD has always been corrupt, only the details of their corruption changes.
The thing that made cities work was the concentration of employment opportunities. What killed cities was their tax structure that relied on sucking money from those who provided jobs. Due to advances in technology and the availability of workers in lower taxed venues those jobs have moved, permanently to other places. Nothing will bring back those jobs to cities. Nothing. So, cities in general are in decline. In particular, cities with Democratic majorities can never be rehabilitated because of cronyism and existing liabilities and debt.
As for California, they have actively courted illegals to move there. This means legitimate businesses and sources of income, the rich, are moving out. Reversing this would be somewhere between hard and impossible. So, goodbye New York and California. Of the two, only California will be missed.
“And that hope is that the voters of these two states politically destroy the entire Democrat Party. “
Ha! Quite the opposite, those idiots will flee the sinking ships of NYC and LA only to move somewhere nice, and foul it with their voting habits.
By March 31, 2021, the Census Bureau will send redistricting counts to the states. This information is used to redraw legislative districts based on population changes. The first election for this to impact will be 2022.
“...And she feels locked in and confined to her home for a reason no one has yet to give her that is Meaningful & True!!!...”
Is she under quarantine? Or in an area that was good but now is not?
I can’t speak for California these days but New York is in a race to the bottom. People are leaving.... depending on what the Governor does with schools, there are going to be a lot of homes on the market at the end of the summer as folks are going to move elsewhere.
My advice to Freepers out there in the free world... please welcome your new neighbors and explain to them why things are so good in your neck of the woods. Most New Yorkers don’t know anything about the rest of America beyond the poisoning they receive from the local and national MSM.

Forced by illegal diktats to go out of business, restaurants laid off hundreds of thousands of workers who were then forced onto welfare. And done people couldn’t get proper hot meals anymore as not everyone has cooking facilities and many have difficulty buying groceries due to restrictions at the markets. After many weeks of this crap, the politicians said they’d Finally let the diners open again if they’d install plastic dividers between tables and a bunch of other garbage. As if viruses can’t float around plastic panels! Ha ha! The virus got all the way here across the Pacific Ocean from communist china but none of them can make it around Little plastic panels in an open air room? —- anyway our local restaurant said they were on verge of bankruptcy and had to try it to hqve a chance of staying alive. So they ran up thousands of dollars in material and labor costs ( they’re last big investment, almost all had to be with borrowed funds) to get the required framing and plastic all installed. After inspection ( another charge) they were Finally permitted to reopen. Employees and customers were thrilled. About one week later, governor shut them all down again. No new reason, just more bullsheit scare talk about how the virus didn’t go away. Now the diner is going into bankruptcy. These damned politicians ( all DemocRATs at least so far as we know) who are destroying so many people’s lives work employment and businesses must must must be removed from power ASAP! they’re destroying millions of lives and frankly going this country more wanton damage than any foreign enemies have ever managed to inflict on us.
NYC was claw its way back.
It is the country and its citizens that I am most worried about.
Keep voting Democrat.
NYC is not NYS.
You are comparing CA with NYC. Not a valid comparison.
What’s dead and dying is the cities.
The rest of us in flyover country are doing much better.
