The above is a synopsis of the video at the link. The video is 48 minutes long and worth the time to view (or listen to while you do Sunday afternoon chores).

2nd paragraph: “Mega billionaires are giving money to defend the police movements.”

It’s supposed to be “ . . . *defund* the police movement . . .”, not “defend the police”, right?

I always wondered how great empires and cities fell into dispair.

Now I know, they were liberals who abandoned their fathers heritage for something “fashionable”!

How do “elites” benefit from this compared to a peaceful, productive society? They don’t want to be able to go to fancy eateries anymore? They want to worry about home invasions, carjackings, street attacks, etc? Doesn’t make sense. They should want the populace happy and quiet.

“They want high retail theft”

It costs a lot of money to incarcerate a people for stealing comparatively cheap things.

The Democrats stopped the incarceration but failed to ensure punishment for retail theft. I have suggested penalty time rooms so criminals can serve time without having to be provided with free food, housing, medical care and lawyers.

I visited Oakland 15 years ago.

The language I heard was worse than that of a high school.

Everyday people have seen and understood for many years, if not decades, what is happening to our cities and who is responsible.

Politicians, the government, media and other Rocket Scientists and Experts are just catching on?

Hard to believe since they are the ones doing the destroying.

Seventy Five years ago Detroit was America's fourth largest city, prosperous, dynamic and the center of automobile manufacturing for the world.

Now it is twenty ninth and still shrinking.

Politicians and the government are responsible for this decline, not Working Americans.

"In 1950, the United States accounted for more than 80% of global car production, excluding commercial vehicle production.
However, this share declined to about 4.6% in 2010 and 2.7% in 2021, reflecting a loss of competitiveness in the American car manufacturing system."

I will explain exactly what is happening.

The vast majority of property in the “city” is owned by people who don’t actually live in the city and thus can not vote in that cities election

A landlord that lives in the suburbs and owns 30 properties in the city, gets ZERO votes in city elections. And nearly all commercial property is owned by people that again live outside of the city itself.

This distorts the electorate to favor the homeless, renters and those in jail. All of which actually live in the city and are thus the only ones allowed to vote.

This is a complete perversion of our system which originally ONLY allowed property owners to vote. Now.. they are the least likely to vote even though they might own the majority of the properties.

It is a grift wrapped in a series of grifts.

Trillion$ were stripped from “middle-class” taxpayers during the orchestrated pandemic then pocketed by the corporate billionaires.

They purposely destroy the cities to lower property values through crime and government mismanagement. They then grift more money from taxpayers to create “Opportunity Zones” for the perpetual victim class. Those zones come with extremely favorable tax advantages. The zones never stay in the hands of the “victim class” for long. Case in point, Trump created Opportunity Zones in Democrat run cities. George Floyd riots orchestrated to burn and loot those zones. Victim owners do not have the assets to recover and sell off properties at fire sale prices to the corporate billionaires. Corporate billionaires now own prime city properties on the cheap and shelter their billions in the newly created tax havens. Go look up the maps of the riots and the rioting magically stopped at the edge of the Opportunity Zones. Then look up the names of those who acquired those properties. Wash, rinse, repeat.
