New York’s decline picks up pace: For those who thought New York was suffering under Killer Cuomo, Kathy Hochul is proving to be even worse
American Thinker ^ | 09/27/2021 | Irene Heron

In the Western world, we use “BC” and “AD” to denominate the two major time periods in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. I have come to think that, in our current situation, those same initials apply to “Before Covid” and “After Death,” referring to the death of our most precious liberties that were taken from us beginning in March 2020.

As I write this, I can no longer even imagine a world in which the news of the day, in every blog, newspaper, and media outlet, isn’t dominated by the Chi Com Fauci Flu. It seems like, no matter how many people get the shot or how many children are suffocated by their masks, the nightmare will never end. There is no fixed date on the horizon when the “pandemic” will be over. I am reminded of Frederick Douglass’s writing that “the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

In New York, we are entering our second autumn AD with a new ruler who is turning out to be much worse than her predecessor. Who would ever have thought that Kathy Hochul could make us long for the good ole days under Killer Cuomo? I have been politically active for many years and have never seen such a brutal takeover, even in this corrupt oligarchy. The Demo-Marxists must have planted her years ago as a Trojan Horse for the ruling party.

Just as the Bidenistas immediately dismantled President Trump’s MAGA programs and initiatives (except, strangely enough, for Operation Warp Speed), so too did their New York counterparts immediately tighten the noose within hours after Hochul assumed the throne. As usual, the New York GOP was either totally unprepared for the onslaught or complicit in the tyranny.

Incredible as it may seem, within days of taking office, Hochul quickly moved (among other things) to:

Meanwhile, and not to be outdone, Comrade Mayor Bill DeBlasio imposed a vaccine mandate on the City schools and workforce as well. This is on top of mandatory proof of vaccination for indoor dining, sports, entertainment, and a host of other activities. Nobody seems to care that these establishments are far from recovered from the various lockdowns and restrictions that were enacted in 2020 when we lost an untold number of businesses that will never return.

I hope New York is broken into at least two states, like Virginia was.

The only problem is, like California, the rats will scramble to other places and foul them.

The governor and mayor are off the charts insane sociopaths—no doubt.

But—as old Adolph learned in his bunker—being a crazed lunatic is easy, getting your commands enforced on the ground is a whole different ball-game.

There are a lot of anecdotes about venues ignoring the rules...

There has been a Long Island secession movement in existence for as far back as I can remember.

See here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_(proposed_state)

It never gained traction.

On a smaller scale, Staten Island is trying to secede from New York City.

A simple upstate/downstate split would be good.

NY grew as a highly diversified, manufacturing and trading economy. But over the past 50 years, its come to be dominated 100% by NY City - and a strange and very small clique of aggressive statists, leftists, who are funded, ironically, by the taxes on a narrow class of Wall Street crony-capitalists supported mostly by the Federal Reserve and America's fiat money.

Meanwhile the rest of NY State has declined and depopulated, with zero representation.

Next move will be to try to remove Hochul from office to make way for Brian "Defund the Police" Benjamin.

She has also signed into law a bill mandating that all automobiles sold in the state be electric by 2035.

She and Whitmer should get a room.

"Not to derail this thread but what is this crap? If you are embarrassed to say HIS name HE will be embarrassed of you."

Explaining it to the millennials on this forum: B.C. stands for “Before Christ.” A.D. actually stands for the Latin phrase Anno Domini which means “In the year of our Lord.”

“After a long history of political activism and with a background in charity work, Kathleen C. Hochul seized a rare opportunity to launch a short but busy congressional career.

“Her politically and socially conscious parents often cared for and hosted underprivileged children and instilled in Hochul the values of public service from a young age. While attending Hamburg High School, Hochul began volunteering for local politicians during summer vacations.

“Following law school, Hochul worked briefly as an attorney in Washington, DC, before serving as legal counsel for a pair of prominent New York Democrats, Representative John Joseph LaFalce and Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. She returned to western New York in 1991 and became a lobbyist for small business groups in the region. She also worked in charity, founding the Kathleen Mary House with her mother and aunt in 2006 to support victims of domestic violence.

“In 2011 Hochul leaped onto the national stage in a high-profile special election to replace Republican Representative Christopher John Lee, after he resigned from the U.S. House on February 9.”

The decline of New York State has been going on since 1940 as evidenced by the census numbers. The state government has worsened the decline instead of reversing it.

Commercial ships outgrew the ports and rivers, vehicle size and numbers outgrew the roadways, and companies outgrew the geographic layout. As the financial industry continues to withdraw, made possible by a fiber-optic and satellite network, New York will continue to decline.
