>>The virus has killed 24,000 people in the city
Over ten percent in the nation.
And it is “Trump’s fault”?
What were they doing? “Ignoring the science”?
The NYC subway system — perhaps the single most likely place on the planet for the transmission of viral pathogens — was never shut down.
In MAY, that mutt Andrew Cuomo announced that the subway cars would be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis.
The Wuhan virus didn’t destroy NYC. It just exposed a level of ineptitude in city and state government that wouldn’t be tolerated in a cage full of monkeys at the zoo.
Trump doesn’t “scorn the city of his birth”. He rushed them ventilators. He converted the Javitz center into a 3000 bed hospital. He sent a Navy medical ship into NYC’s harbor. He scorns the political atmosphere and the political leadership... both deserving of scorn by all. In a city that votes 75% Democrat, you probably have near universal consensus that their Democrat mayor is an imbecile.
And I will never understand why NY Governor Cuomo issued two contradictory orders - one, prohibiting visitors to nursing homes to prevent visitors from bringing Covid19 virus inside (a good idea) while simultaneously ordering nursing homes to bring known infected Covid19 victims into nursing homes (ridiculously stupid, reckless, and self-defeating). There is something rotten underneath that decision, probably having to do with money, federal aid, medicare, etc...
No pity from me. NYC asked and voted for its own demise.
Embrace the suck NYC.
Oh, and by the way, the taxpayers of America do not want to pay for your self inflicted disaster. Bug off idiots.
‘Democrat problems™’
I hope this topic comes up during the debate with Biden tonight. Also California’s messes as well as San Fran, Seattle, Chicago, and every other major Liberal-run city.
Great way to clean out the middle class riffraff and lower the prices of real estate in NYC to have only tyrants and serfs living in the city.
Partial agreement.
They shutdown the private sector, and kept the Government open
Maddness
REMEMBER THIS: New York/NYC teachers have great pensions. I mean six figure pensions for life. I’ve seen some pensions in the $150K range.
Yet they are EXEMPT from paying NY state income tax in the state of NY on their tax payer funded pensions. They want more money for “education” but they don’t want to pay their fair share.
Cuomo, deblasio and the third world legislature, you dont have to look far
Just a note, its starting already my friend just e mailed me telling me hes got an alert form the mayors office and the governor of NY, there is a wuhan flu spike in the city, and some upstate counties. Just in time for mail in ballots
No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law;
Paging Nancy. . .
Am I the only one envisioning a flood of plague rats?
I read the article, as much as I hate to spend any time on the NYT website. Other than a brief mention of shootings being up not one word was said about rioting and looting, or about DeBlasio dumping homeless drug addicts into Upper West Side hotels.
The entire USA has had to deal with the Pandemic. Only New York has had to deal with the toxic combination of Cuomo and DeBlasio. Times Square is now filled with junkies and crime. It won’t be filled with tourists or businessmen anytime soon.
Don’t believe the faked coroner’s report,New York City did not die from CoVid-19.
NYC voted for this kind of thing, so they can just suck it up and quit whining to the rest of us.
So arrest the mayor. He’s the commanding officer.
N.Y. politicians need to look in the mirror..
“the president, a native New Yorker who openly scorns his city of birth”
That’s a bald face lie. Trump loves New York and does not scorn the city. However, he does scorn the mayor and the governor. Big difference.
