I can't help but think that God has a sense of humor to shape human events because he knows his children so well, he knows what stupid things they will do.

This may be the latest example of mega-cities like New York losing their stranglehold over a nation's destiny due to their arrogance.

Others in history include:

• Hitler's ill-fated decision to invade Russia (after allying with them to start the war) in order to end England's last source of hope.

• Gorbachov's decision to crack open the iron curtain just a little to make the Soviet Union seem just a little less threatening.

• The deep state's decision to unleash the corona virus so they could control elections with manufactured mail-in voting thereby showing many more people could work from home.

“The deep state’s decision to unleash the corona virus so they could control elections with manufactured mail-in voting thereby showing many more people could work from home”

Here in the US, we always sell the worst deals to foreign investors. Canada and Japan are usually good for a lot of money.

Of course, in foreign countries, US investors get the same treatment.

If you don’t understand the how the markets work and what the laws are in the country your are investing in, you are quite likely to be sold the investments domestic investors pass up.

why sell???

“...make the Soviet Union seem just a little less threatening.”

Along these lines, This Guy saw this happen first hand—awesome!—Slava class cruiser Marshall Ustinov peacefully pulling into port at Hampton Roads, Virginia:

So, help me with this. If it is “fraud” to overvalue what you own (even no one was defrauded), isn’t it also then “fraud” to undervalue your property to get out from paying taxes on what it is worth versus what you sold it for?

I live in NY State. It has become two completely different worlds between NY City and Upstate in politics, society and economics.

NY City and its politics dominate the State, which means high taxes, wokeism and ridiculous marxist mandates hobble upstate, while the City and downstate survive only on printed, fiat money, financial trading and debt.

Anything that diminishes the power of the Democrat money-power machine is a good thing.

Escape from New York.

Sounds like a movie.
