The op-ed is below the weird video at the top of the screen
I looked it up. The fool lives in New York City.
Fool needs to find a normal place to live.
That might make it a little hard to show up at work.
Thank God there is fly-over country.
Good opinion piece. He makes the point how for many years he had just enough and finally made it to live in a high-priced trendy part of NYC (and no doubt paying the heavy taxes living there entails). And after they came for the goods in the stores, they returned to loot the residences. Only the hiring of security guards kept them out.
From the column:
No one has the right to take what belongs to you. No one can say, “That’s no longer yours -- it’s mine.” But not in the minds of the identity obsessed and eternally aggrieved. If you’ve succeeded in life, then you’re easy pickings for life’s envious losers.

Never forget that chilling phrase: “First they came for...”
Very good article. He assigns a lot of blame to the media for keeping this going and says we need media reform. And he’s IN the media.

About a decade ago, I had a situation in which someone told me to just give them something I was holding. I said that no, I wouldn’t.
That person is a nurse. This was in a hospital.
Good article and I like his hatefulness against the scum who deserve it. Reminds me of myself. When I discovered him his sarcastic, ironic style reminded me of my writing (here and elsewhere).
Someone here once said to me “You will never raise yourself higher by cutting others down.” True. But I still do it.
Powerful.
There is a solution. You just the will to do it. FOX News is not the nirvana of jobs. As conservative as he sounds on television, he still has the big city mindset that someone needs to look after my safety. Look after your own safety. Move. Do something but do not wait for someone to do it for you.
Very good piece, well worth reading.
However, while it is gratifying to see the media correctly blamed by a member of the media, pressing the "training and policy lever" won't do anything. I have read that nine (9) unarmed blacks were shot and killed by American police in 2019, according to the Washington Post. Does anyone believe that reducing that number to zero would make the slightest difference?
"Institutional racism" is not the problem.
“Very good article. He assigns a lot of blame to the media for keeping this going and says we need media reform. And he’s IN the media.”
.... yes it is a good article. There is one thing that Mr. Gutfeldt seems to overlook with regards to the media. The vast majority of the media support the Leftist agenda, which is to destroy this country and remove its Constructive foundation.
What was it?
For years, my husband and I lived in places that cost under $50 per month. Our big place was in Old Town Chicago where we have a one bedroom walk up for $150/mo. Then we paid $15 to live in our van in front of a “commune.” It was burned down by one of the occupants. (The commune, not the van). We continued to live there until my husband’s father loaned us $4K as a down payment on a small duplex (both sides). We then used his GI bill to buy another duplex and keep the first one. I won’t bore you with our odyssey. But we now have a portfolio of about $500K in real estate, probably more... all paid for. Other assets, we’re doing okay in our retirement, aging and recovering hippies. We’ve worked hard, me as a lawyer, Mr. Mercat as a designer and then a property manager. We raised three children, lost one. It’s been hard but we have been blessed. I’m a prepper now. I don’t assume that this nice life we have will continue. I could never live in NY. We live in the country. In a small underpopulated state. I love it.
I was minding a nice purse for the better half, I’m embarrassed to say
