You would think the money men of NYC would convince the leaders to stop the problem.

Yes, I am bewildered that this hasn't happened.

I think they are trying but they’re dealing with Stalins and Hitlers and Maos and that type knows better.

My opinion. Drive productive people out of the cities and decrease real estate values. Bring in illegals/invaders to fill them back up. Big city dwellers move to the suburbs to move them further left and big cities are replenished with more liberals. Evil geniuses they are.

These shoplifters aren’t “kleptomaniacs.” They are organized groups that sell the stolen goods online, often to feed their drug habits.

This just furthers the devastation of NYC. Either the leaders are idiots or this is on purpose. You would think the money men of NYC would convince the leaders to stop the problem. So I guess I answered my own question.


a thought.

When there is no hope and no new wealth being created it becomes a game of marbles. There are only so many marbles and the goal is to get your share before the game ends.

Good thought, I just need to figure out how owning an office building which you cannot lease out enough to space to generate a profit is not a liability instead of an asset. Maybe it’s the gentrification of office building plan?

Since restitution would be a fool’s dream in this case, let’s start by putting security guards that are armed to the teeth at entrances to retailers. Give the guards military grade weaponry and the finest body armor on this planet. If anyone walks out with stolen merchandise, shoot the perps without trying to damage the goods themselves. Since cameras won’t be enough, the guards should also patrol aisles and checkout lanes.

Wonderful! That is the Democrat Party’s dream: To total and completely destroy the United States of America. And with the help of the People, they have almost succeeded. President Trump thought he could reverse the trend. He was shown that he could not and kicked out of Office in the 2020 elections. The People replaced him with Lying Joe Biden. A charter member of the Destroy America Club.

answer is govt grant......................

The govt IS the economy even though we think differently. we tend to manage the past, not the present.

There are some areas of the economy where there is less govt but I have not found anywhere there is no govt.
