The Trump verdict last Thursday overshadowed a far more disturbing portent for New York: yet another daytime attack in the heart of Times Square, the second in a month, this time a machete assault outside a McDonald’s at 45th and Broadway.

New York’s failure to control crime — regular crime, not Trump crime — is slowing its tourism recovery, as new statistics from Broadway’s theater industry show.

Like New York overall, Broadway is having a slow rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“These idiots voted for this.”

True, but it makes them feel morally superior to the little people of flyover country.

The basic underlying DISEASE that is crippling this country isn’t some ‘Covid-blah,blah’. It’s called BIDEN46

The Big Apple is rotten to the core. Time to flee.

Nobody with two functioning brain cells wants to go to NYC.

New Yorkers vote overwhelmingly Dem (not Staten Island, so please don’t remind me).

So this couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of anti-American Trump haters.

Post COVID comeback?! COVID has not been an issue for three years. How long is the comeback supposed to take?! Might the more accurate issue be that people just don't want to come int the city?! Because of crime and vagrancy... Last visit to NYC i was hit up by panhandlers every block and in every subway station. The streets weren't too bad - I think they cleaned them up because it was the week of the marathon.

I know people who live in Brooklyn and Queens and very often say how proud they are to be from there. I don’t understand it.

Don't blame COVID. Blame the lame woke products which is all they produce. They jumped the shark with Hamilton.

Yeah, it is the policies and the people you voted for.

We don’t care. You have prioritized illegal criminals over citizens. You have prioritized home grown criminals too.

Sorry, we don’t care.

Broadway and the Big Apple are finally waking up to the realization that there are far greater dangers far more lethal threats than the Coup-flu cooties.

All NYC needs is some investors with big ideas and friendly banks to make loans. Should be boom-time there. What could possibly go wrong?

It would be a very, very, very cold day in Hell before I would even think of setting foot in that Hellhole.

A recent trip to broadway indicates to me shows are divided between cheap, mass-market Disney remakes and woke, post-modern crap.

Hillary Clinton is now producing Broadway shows. ‘nuff said.

Its not “Covid”

The same thing happened to Hollywood. It's mostly crap with notable exceptions like Top Gun by Tom Cruise. If you want to watch a quality show nowadays, you'll have to look for an international production. At least, they're not infected by the woke virus outside the U.S.
