If illegals kill and rape thousands a year (they do) - would NYC do anything about it?

I’ve long joked about loading up on beans and other fart makers and riding crowded New York City elevators ... just to thank them for all their city has done to the Republic through the years.

In his latest column, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman inadvertently revealed how New York-centric his view of America is. Friedman, like virtually all his colleagues at The New York Times, opposes opening up any state in America at this time. He writes: "Every person will be playing Russian roulette every minute of every day: Do I get on this crowded bus to go to work or not? What if I get on the subway and the person next to me is not wearing gloves and a mask?"

Only a New Yorker would write those two sentences. In the 40 years I have lived in the second-largest city in America, I have never ridden on the subway or any other intra urban train or bus. In fact, it is common for New Yorkers to look at Los Angeles with disdain for our "car culture." Like the vast majority of Americans everywhere outside of New York City, in Los Angeles, most of us get to work, visit family and friends, and go to social and cultural events by car -- currently the life-saving way to travel -- not by bus or subway, the New Yorker way of getting around.

But Friedman is a New Yorker, and because his fellow New Yorkers walk past one another on crowded streets and travel in crammed buses and subway cars, South Dakotans should be denied the ability to make a living.

In her first interview on "Fox News Sunday" since 2017, Billionaire House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke to anchor Chris Wallace about the coronavirus pandemic and its effect on Americans.

"People are taking to the streets, pushing back against some of the more stringent restrictions in some states," Wallace said during the interview, which is set to air Sunday on Fox News Channel. "Can you understand why they're doing that?"

Ice Cream Pelosi responded: "No, not, not really because what we have to do is, is, is shelter in place. That is really the answer."

Meanwhile,Nancy, In the real world, not your billionaire world, Our economy/citizens have been brutally raped/abused with the actions of your fellow elites, democrat governors and mediots!

“A shutdown is a broadly destructive solution, to a problem that could have been solved with far more targeted approaches!"

Quarantines only work to keep a small amount of sick people from going out and spreading the disease!

They don’t work to keep the vast majority of healthy people locked inside.

Thanks to HotHunt for this great visual!

If people want to stay home, let them! NO ONE wants to force them to go out!

Half of the people of New York City do not know where Montana is, or even WHAT it is.

Flyover country is pretty much undifferentiated to them.

I really pity folks living in NYC.

For N reasons, where N is a very large number.

Don’t forget Washington D.C. Anybody outside the 495 beltway is a bumpkin.

Also same in Boston MA. Worcester is consider the far west. And the people outside that 495 beltway exist only to serve Boston.

I’m wondering why the CDC hasn’t updated the reported cases since Sunday. They had been updating their “cases by report date” every day at 4pm eastern. Cases had obviously turned the corner - flattened out. I’m wondering if the 4/20 numbers are actually significantly down and they just don’t want to report them yet. Or maybe they’re waiting to see if the 4/21 numbers are back up. Or maybe it’s just a glitch... But it is odd that just now there is a delay.

Remember why we shut down

Between 160 million and 214 million people in the United States could be infected
As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die.

Maybe. If the disease were serious enough. If cities are incubators of disease, eventually most of the deaths wouldn’t be in Montana, but in big cities - maybe not in NYC, but in places enough like it for New Yorkers to be worried.

That’s what the “experts” told us on March 18th.

ALL THOSE DEATHS ARE ON THE HANDS OF THE DIMOCRAT leaders of the city. They told people NOT to worry about it. Go to China Town for the new year big blow out. Go to ball games, the movies, the theaters, shop downtown, use the tube, no worries. THEY said everything was okay. THEY killed all those people. BUT NOW, they hide those speeches. Don’t want anyone remembering them. The mayor, governor, all of the Dim leaders were shouting this from the roof tops. No worries. No problem. Won’t happen here. Tell that to the 35,000 dead.

They are probably moving bodies to nursing homes so they can be “discovered”.

Having grown up in Stamford, CT, a suburb of NYC, and as an adult, living on Long Island, another whole suburb of NYC, and now living in hurricane country, aka Louisiana, NYC does not give a rodent’s butt, unless it impacts them directly!
