Another critical point is that the socialism in cities ATTRACTS PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO WORK. Here in NJ, Newark is joining Paterson in launching a “guaranteed basic income” program for its idle population.
We already provide thousands in “income” by way of freebies to these parasites; I can only assume they want to give out cash (it will be in cash) to reduce the crime and corresponding murders.
A bit of that, though I think most partaking of it as a lifestyle were born into it—sadly.
