Secession would work. Just the cities.
I love how the New York Times thinks they’ve uncovered a scoop or something.
At least the homeless are working and contributing to the economy... they have stolen the wires for the street lights 4 times by my shop, now they are strung along the top of the poles.
I took in a trunk load of copper and aluminium last Friday, got $300. Not bad. Stripped the wire while watching TV, easy money. Did not steal any of it, btw, just scrap.
I saw an article recently that theives have be taking LED lights and wire off of a major bridge.
How could that go unnoticed?
That would also take a lot of nerve (drug induced or natural) to climb up these massive cables on a suspension bridge.
The elves of Valinor scatter gems they trade from the dwarves across their beaches to make them look prettier, because they don’t know what else to do with them.
We have the monopoly for this county.
$1/pound
What the ****?
We have to pay a $3/pound federal tax.
I need to see and photograph your ID.
Smile for the camera!
For a moment I optimistically thought it was thieves strung along the top of poles.
and the NYT caused it by supporting and even starting narratives that got us where we are.
Now they put out an article - OMG look where we are. This country is starting to suck, How did this happen?
Must be white men with their transphobia or climate change.
Seems like another Democrat culture issue
BINGO!
All of the copper for EVs, EV chargers and the infrastructure to get the electricity to them has to come from somewhere.
Also all of the extra copper for heat pumps and mini splits.
The climate change cultists have no idea they have driven up the value of scrap copper so much that folks will strip cities and towns for it.
yes, 15 years ago i worked security at a truck trailer yard in the Hispanic area of Kansas city, Kansas due to the visitors stealing the wiring off of the trailers for 5 dollars worth of copper and the cost to be restrung was 400.00 per trailer.
This isn’t just part of increasing crime, this is very specifically a 3rd world style of crime.
two thieves in Santa Clara (CA) county were pretty brazen about their heist, driving down the line in broad daylight. 60-year-old Danielle Mayo and 55-year-old Frank Pacheco:
So, who’s buying this stuff?? Go after them, and voila, no more theft. Yes?
America is being rotted out precisely by followers of the leftwing ‘progressive’ ideological garbage the NYTimes has been spewing for nearly a century.
Illegal aliens. nyt won't say it.
