When it comes to greed Bernie Madoff was a piker in comparison to DeBlasio.

(From the article): " De Blasio said the city was tracking those who'd left... "

lowbridge : " Thats a progressive for you. Leading us forward into the 19th century."

I'd like to know how !
(IE.: surveillance , census records, tracing agents, cellphones/ stingray, police patrols, etc., ).

If physical proximity to the stock market ceased to be a factor in the ability for financial firms to operate (and lots of money is generated these days from computer algorithms making stock transactions at speeds so fast that physical location on a fiber optic network is actually important), half of its tax base would evaporate, with the highest earners leaving first.

People don’t live in NYC because they like the high prices and the crowds, they live there because everything is there and there’s a status to living in certain locations. Take enough of the stuff away and the whole system collapses.

“If the federal government fails us we should immediately return to Albany to the discussion put a tax on wealthy New Yorkers.”

In other words, if you are a wealthy New Yorker, get out now while you can.

I love the “don’t buy a car” admonition. Of course, cars mean freedom of movement.

So, in conclusion: It’s OK if rioters destroy your property and life, and even higher taxes are coming, just sit still and get ready to pay the price of my authority. You’re grounded, no leaving!

You need to quarantine. You need to use public transportation. You can’t carry a gun. Defund the police. Close the bars. Raise taxes to cover lost taxes from COVID. Meanwhile De Blasio’s wife is getting rich off taxpayers funds that are supposed to go to housing for the underclass. Gee, why would anyone want to leave?

I just read an article the other day saying how garbage is starting pile up all over the city.

You cannot make this crap up. Oh, wait...you don’t NEED to make it up. You can just look at Lefist management of big cities for the past 60 years, and simply copy it.

Dems are doing the best job ever of forfeiting an election.

Nobody could come up with the ideas they’ve done themselves.

So they kill the golden goose and now surprised they won’t be coming back?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

New York City in July:

Murders up 59%

Shootings up 177%

Burglaries up 31%

Auto thefts up 53%

What is the response from New York’s wack job of an attorney general?

Dissolve the NRA!

“...Thousands of apartments were vacated as the wealthy fled the city during the pandemic to seek refuge in places such as the Hamptons and Connecticut....”
******************************************************
Since April 1 is the official “where do you live on date”, New York City should have an even bigger census loss than would have otherwise been found.

Doesn’t the office of Mayor for NYC have term limits? And when does DeBlasio get to be removed, hopefully by force and without any escort once outside of the building, by those men in blue of NYC from his office?
