New York City is dead forever

[tennmountainman]

It’s dead Jerry.

Follow the money .... Genocide Cuomo and Comrade BeBlasio have probably hired him to whine and beg people to return.

Jerry Seinfeld was a Hollywood (not New York City) actor who hasn't been in a current production show in more than two decades.

As a comedian, Jerry Seinfeld knows how well the internet killed stand-up comedy the way the 'talkies' killed vaudeville - everyone sees the good skits after they're performed once. Once it's digital, the "club" can be anywhere and is more likely going to be a streaming edition.

He worked in the entertainment industry but a city needs mainline industries to keep it afloat. New York City has been falling farther and farther behind the current world in terms of industry, technology, and infrastructure. It's a zero sum game and those caught behind are going to be forced to pay the full bill as long as President Trump and the Republicans enforce NO BAILOUT FOR FAILED DEMOCRAT STATES.

Walk around the streets without a bodyguard. Ride the subway. Then tell me you Love NY.

[SaxxonWoods]

Gee, that’s a shame.

Of course it isn’t dead. The moving companies can’t keep up with all who want to move out. But once they catch up, then it will be.

[aposiopetic]

Would be interested in your take on Jerry’s view that the energy is (uniquely, permanently) there in Manhattan, which will therefore inevitably roar back stronger than before.

[DennisR]

Just another arrogant New Yorker. The city is their god.
Business as usual.

You ever wonder why Silicon Valley even exists?

No unions?

A number of years ago I did some work at the NBC Newschannel in Charlotte, NC. It is (or was?) a place where NBC collects video feeds from around the world, and makes them available to their affiliates. Charlotte, sort of fascinated me. It had (This was back in 1992, I think.) lots of sky scrapers which was a bit of surprise to me. I thought about this place I was working. It naturally would have been in Rockefeller Center in New York City, but it wasn't. Charlotte probably had a population similar to Morristown, NJ, when I was a child. Now it supports major league sports. The politicians here in the northeast had driven the businesses and the population away.

When you use a world famous comedian to try and convince the world that New York City isn’t dead as a destination to live and visit... You know it’s over for New York for at least the next decade or more.

When I was a teen, my family went on a road trip to Florida and when we hit New York we intended to drive around it... I told my father to take a right and my sister (who suddenly decided she could read a map) told my father to go straight... We ended up driving through Brooklyn and we were treated to what looked like the bombed out shells of buildings I had seen in documentaries about world war 2... It took Ronald Reagan and 2 good Mayors... Ed Koch (who was sadly followed by David Dinkins, a terrible but temporary blip) and Rudy Giuliani...

In two short decades... Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio have done their best to return it to it’s 1970 glory days, and they have accomplished that with a zeal. Especially de Blasio.

You are right Mr. Seinfeld... New York will eventually be the New York of your comedy show set at some point in the future... It just won’t be anytime soon and it will never happen with a useless mayor like Bill de Blasio.

[TalBlack]

Jerry is speaking generally here and ia generally correct but...he didn’t address the politically driven crime spree that is enveloping NY. There are malevolents in NY and a lot of other places that have to be dealt with...

This stupid virus will give up eventually. The same way you have.

I like Jerry Seinfeld. I really do. I like his humor, his taste in cars, and the fact that he has railed against the Politically Correct crowd for trying to eliminate all forms of satire and comedy.

But what Seinfeld doesn't realize is that the same elites that he parties and rubs elbows with is not playing a game. Their goal is to enslave all of humanity, and kill those who resist. I wish I were joking, but that's the script they are running.

The "virus" will endure in one "mutated" form or another until the next phase is ready: the "vaccine", which Bill Gates told us will actually consist of "multiple vaccines."

We will get a Digital ID to let the elites and tyrants know we have the "vaccine" - and then they might even let us on a shorter leash, for awhile.

But the Digital ID, Trust Stamp, and the new blockchain that will be bundled with them all are just the beginning. It will all lead to the mark of the beast, and I am not joking. The mask is nothing more than a vehicle to condition humanity for the soon coming mark.

Sorry Jerry - but you don't see what's really coming.

New York City isn’t dead, it’s just “pining for the fjords.” Actually, NYC isn’t dead,it’s just waiting for political leadership. I was in a graduate school at Columbia U. in the early-mid 1950s and found the city interesting and exciting. I had NYC friends that I was very fond of, but, as a Southern, found NewYorkers in general exceptional rude. “An armed society is a polite society.” Hopefully, it will come back and not be much of a pain in our side.

[Vermont Lt]

NYC is not dead. What a silly thing to write.

I don’t like the politicians. I don’t like the crowds. As a group I don’t care for New Yorkers. But individually, they are people like everyone else.

But this is a set back, not a wipe out. It might take a few years, but it will recover. DeBlasio will be voted out. The cops will come back.

A story like the one in the Post is indicative of people who can’t see past the next day.
