Regarding Department Of Justice Identifies New York City, Portland And Seattle As Jurisdictions Permitting Violence And Destruction Of Property
[Not literally, figuratively.
Those cities, and other socialist cesspools were already on their way to near total waste like Detroit. This just makes it more clear socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money and that rule of law is superior to rule of mob.—Joe]
Annnd this changes what, exactly?
It allows the Feds to stop sending money to these sinkholes?
The cities are in financial stress (I know New York, for certain, and I think the others as well) and asking to be bailed out by the Feds. If they were already getting Federal money then cutting off that income source will put additional pressure on them to behave better. If they don’t they could easily enter a death spiral. Boeing just announced they are moving 787 assembly to South Carolina and WA Governor Inslee wants to eliminate existing tax breaks for Boeing. Boeing already moved their international headquarters to Chicago. Amazon is considering moving out of Seattle because of Seattle’s new payroll tax. Microsoft and Google are other big employers in the area but they have empty offices now with almost everyone working from home. And home can be, and is increasingly, dozens if not hundreds of miles from the city. With COVID shutting down a huge percentage of the restaurant business and the looting, vandalism, and arson closing up a lot of the remaining business the cities are really hurting. With Democrats the only solution is to raise taxes. They have started a death spiral.
Without Federal bailout and cutting off of existing subsidies cities infected with the socialist plague will, within the span of a few years, resemble ground zero of a small nuke. See Detroit as a model.
Rolf is right, of course, with his question, will the people learn the lesson and reform? I just don’t know. I’m working on my exit plan from a Seattle suburb…
Come on up to Snohomish County, Joe. I live on a hillside facing the Cascades, on 5 acres, surrounded by about 40 like-thinking neighbors. On a nice day it sounds like a precursor to Boomershoot, with everyone out practicing pistols and rifles.
Not as politically beneficial here as Idaho (after all, we’re still in Washington) but we do get left alone up here.
I have things moving in Idaho. But thanks for the suggestion.
All the fun happens in Idaho. Even SEL has purchased land in Moscow Idaho…
The billion-dollar question-series then becomes: what percentage of liberals flee the shithole cities and take their shithole city voting patterns with them, versus how many have a come-to-Jesus experience in the process and change their thinking? Will it tip the balance in the purple areas decisively one way or the other? Too, the the same question applies to those who stay. This election will be both a total shit-show, and totally lit.
Well, there’s nobody shitting on the sidewalks in front of my brothers’ families homes, so no come-to-Jesus moments for them yet. Other than that, they don’t see the problem with voting against personal responsibility and self control.
It’s the only way to be sure!
Did everyone see the statement from the NYC anarchist organization?? objecting to this. They felt calling NYC anarchist damaged the anarchist brand.
That’s the sort of thing you would only find in the news from Clown World.
