Great. More POS city folk moving to the “country” pretending they’re farmers and such. All the while voting like they still live in Manhattan.

But it will affect upstate and it’s politics. Which is on average much more conservative. Still NY, but better.

“Leftists just HATE it that normal people don’t want to live in the city”

You have to live under us, let us BEAT on you, TERRORIZE you, and most importantly, TAX you so we can live for FREE!

Life as an S&M episode with the Normies relegated to the Bottom role. How modern.

You don’t have to wait for Starlink.

or

A tiny bit more expensive then the terrestrial versions, but not a big deal.

“If I were investing in suburban shopping malls, there is the potential to make a huge financial killing since the revival of suburbs could also mean the revival of shopping malls.”

The Burbs are still there and full of people. The malls went bankrupt because black gang-bangers drove everyone out. People won’t shop where it isn’t safe.

The cities definitely had their day. 150 years ago people in London used to get mail deliveries 3 times PER DAY - and letters were usually delivered (if within the city) in 3 hours. And it was needed for business, considering that phones didn’t exist.

Now what’s the point? Culture? Not much else and since culture is being destroyed, what’s the purpose. Expect to see a lot more Detroits, where they’ve given up on most of the city, only keeping the downtown as a tourist trap.

Look at the photo at the top of the article.

What do you see?

What is manmade and what is natural?

Even dyed in the wool Marxists don’t want to live in a Marxist paradise anymore.

As I understand it, Hughesnet has unsatisfactory latency and the speed is not that great either.
Starlink will supposedly have comparable latency and speeds to fibre cause they are in LEO.
We'll see.

Yeah 500,000 people left New York City but they will attract millions of immigrants in coming decades.

President Trump and Ben Carson should have been on AFFH a long time ago.

After growing up on a farm I went on a trip to New York City in 1968 after graduating.After a week I was so glad to get back home to the fields,the woods,the animals and the crops it cured me of ever wanting to go near a big city again.

I think indoor malls are dead. Kids hang out and harass people and older folks use them as cheap exercise yards in winter. All the heat and air conditioning. seems like outdoor strips are the rage.

We have a mall that still is buzzing not with great stores but it is very busy. I wish we had outdoor strip malls. They would do great in the area.

The liberal virus has infected the NY cell, reproducing to make millions of more viruses. The cell is about to explode hurling all those viruses into the Conservative areas of the USA.

The West Coast virus infected cells have already exploded and infected the West Coast, and Rocky Mountain areas of the US.
