The money is running out; have you seen the layoffs in Camden NJ yesterday? They’re about to re-claim their title as murder capital of the country; I don’t envy anyone living there, even if they get cradle-to-grave free food, housing, etc. (and free housing comes with some restrictions on where you live). Their affirmative-action civil servants are being turned loose into the worst job market in recent history, and after the school crossing guards turn in for the afternoon it is best to not be caught outdoors. Somebody recently questioned the role of race in much of the budget issues in cities; there was a picture of current council members (all black) and the retired municipal employees (all white) that were the economic albatross around the neck of the municipality. All of the intended looting that began when the “we won” crowd started passing dough around has come to a jarring halt, and economic reality has set in.
President Cloward-Piven was planning on it running out. Overwhelm the system.
