What is this 'urban blight'? Is that a euphemism for something else?
They surrendered their neighborhoods willingly. They have no idea how hard it will be to take them back.
What do you mean you want "full" payment for that new computer. You a racist or something trying this math $4iT on me man.
BS - this is not “Urban Blight” which was caused by people moving out of cities to suburbs and decimating the customer base.
This is outright uncivil and evil behavior perpetuated by Democrats who are hell bent on destroying America.
Refusing to prosecute actual laws - without the legislatures actually, yknow, REPEALING them is itself a criminal act.
And It Will Get Worse
Democrats own that
Here in Chevy Chase DC we though that solving racism downtown and places like Columbia Heights was exactly what we needed to do. Now our neighborhood blog reports gunfire an a couple of times a night basis. No wonder, we say. This racism got really out of hand.
It is a relatively small number of international billionaires who are responsible for the decline of western civilization.
Their funds have financed the Woke/leftist long march through the institutions—politics, media, education, health care, non-profits, big corporations etc etc etc.
Once folks realize that the map is not the territory and understand who the real enemy is, then things can begin to turn around...
Thugs sleep in late.
Rats are just implementing communism. When the Rats refuse to provide a safe business environment, the criminals steal the businesses blind. That means business assets are stolen so much that it becomes unprofitable for businesses to operate. That eliminates the incentive for businesses to invest and take risk. What you are left with is an absence of free-market activity that is essentially the same as communism. This is a very evil game being played by the Commie Rats.
“... past a powerless security guard ...”
Was this security guard hired by Walgreens????
If so, why do they waste their money???
The worst part of all of this is that the leftists, aided by the MSM, will come out with endless speeches to tell us that this is, somehow, our fault.
“This is not a problem just for the inner cities....”. “We all have to join together to .....” (meaning some increase in taxes could help with this problem....).
New York City had a real revival when Times Square was cleaned up (cleaned out) and policing went after small crimes / criminals. Set expectations and society responds. Here, the expectations are for accepting bad behavior and no policing. These results will not be pretty and the long term is worse!
Thankfully we now have ESG so no profits are required.
Remember how Democrats called bakers racists for not loaning to the underclass who were unable to payback loans... and then we got the great financial collapse? You watch, Durbin , Pelosi and other Dems will now browbeat corporations (Not sad) and grocery chains as being racist for leaving food and shopping deserts. They will be villified as racists all while they defund cops and loot every store with no criminal charges.
baker=bankers
I'm afraid most of our major cities have reached the point of being beyond saving. Civic leaders have actively aided this devolution with cries of racism, lax law enforcement, and fighting their own police departments and prosecution. Throw in that the schools are in general a disgrace, little more than baby sitting facilities turning out functional illiterates. All productive law-abiding people who can are leaving or will do so. Then what will be left?
Family Dollar and Dollar General have been taking up the slack in the inner cities over the past fifteen years. They provide a much needed service in urban areas. Of course, the race baiters hate these stores for some reason. I serviced these stores in the ghetto for years. The everyday shoplifting and violence in the stores was nearly overwhelming when I retired three years ago. The ridiculous shrink is factored into their pricing, there’s no other way to continue to serve these people.
We should have picked our own cotton.
I know. I’m Captain Obvious.
I see a lot of tweekers in the morning.
