The spread of this DISEASE started in earnest under 0bama and that idiot Merkel in Germany and all of her European counterparts!.
There’s no doubt in my Military Mind that we’re in for so much more - and worse!
All I can keep saying is for people to plan accordingly for increasingly disfunctional governments at all levels under Socialist Democrats.
Arm yourselves while you can. Prep and be ready to move out if need be. Move to Greener Pastures if you can! They’re gonna catch up with us all eventually, but maybe you can eek out a few decades of peace and quiet until then. :(
Kansas City tried the same thing. Their government run grocery store failed miserably.
It’s going to be interesting. We know the suckup press will spin everything in the most positive light they can.
Look for lots of lawfare as the city sues entrepreneurs
There are many ways .gov uses force. You must obey
Yeah, that quote is a pretty clear statement of totalitarianism. That’s actually mainstream left these days.
Not really-go to grok, duckduckgo, etc to check out govt grocery stores in the old USSR-take a good look at the empty shelves, etc-that is what NYC is going to get. MrT5 was career Army-I never saw a shortage of anything in a commissary I shopped at...
Can't wait for the 911 calls when that happens. After all, idiots call 911 when McDonald's runs out of chicken nuggets.
Eye opening for a 13year old when I went.
I was roughly the same age.

Glad for the trip.
Same here. Gave me a perspective many of my generation didn’t have.

LOL! And the current have zero clue.
Right here in Kansas City one of those stores recently failed.
And mandated to eat with your fingers, no utensils.

The current NYC Sharia police will be expanded and permitted to inspect homes for Sharia compliance which means residents can have no decorations or furniture, only rugs and cushions on the floor. Photos are absolutely forbidden and if found, a fine will be levied.
Women on the streets without covered hair will be beaten into submission. Refusal will result in a stoning.
I lived in Gitmo in the 60’s.
A number of Cubans came onto the base every day to work. They didn’t really work for the money, because the guards confiscated almost all of it. But they would eat all week and fast on the weekends. That way their families could eat their rations. They said all of Cuba could eat on the scraps the Americans on base threw away.
One time a lady we knew came in bawling her eyes out. In the middle of the night the army came into her village and used machine guns to blast the locks off everyone’s doors. They announced there is no private property in Cuba. Now, anyone can walk into her home while they are at work, any take anything they want.
One year around Christmas we gave a woman some tiny toys for her kids. The guards took the toys and hung her by her wrists for the 3 day weekend. They beat her several times a day. She came back with black eyes and a swollen face.
Fascinating. I didn’t know such a place already existed.
Our commissary in Gitmo had rotten potatoes and empty bins often.
But that was 63 years ago.
But it was still better stocked than what they had on the other side of the fenceline.
As businesses flee NYC, watch for the requirement that vacated and unmarketable commercial space be repurposed as low-income housing.
