DeBlasio’s plan to destroy New York City is working wonderfully

It’s no longer news that, once the Wuhan virus descended on New York City, the rich did what rich people always have down when plague appears: They packed up their goods and their money and left for comfortable country homes where they could wait out the disease.

The New Yorkers who remained in the city ranged from the upper-middle-class down to the homeless. Mayor Bill DeBlasio then had the bright idea to bring these two classes together, something that’s working out about as well as you would expect. It’s also a preview of coming attractions for the rest of America should Biden win the White House and Democrats take full control of Congress.

Cuomo is still sufficiently connected to reality to try to stem the outflow of the city’s super-rich, who are responsible for 50% of NYC’s tax base. The mayor, however, is saying the equivalent of ‘good riddance to bad rubbish.’ When he says he doesn’t like rich people, de Blasio isn’t kidding.

Elections have consequences. I hope the 020 elections result in sanity for the red parts of the USA.

No sympathy for any of them. Communism has consequences.

Now Downstate knows how Upstate feels.

It sucks to be all of us.

His #one advisor, Mayor de Blasio’s wife says eliminating NYPD would be ‘nirvana, a utopia’
BizPac Review ^ | June 11, 2020 | Jon Dougherty / FR Posted by kevcol

“That would be like a nirvana, a utopia that we are nowhere close to getting to,” McCray noted in a TIME100 Talks discussion. McCray’s comments come after elected leaders in Minneapolis have caved to demands by Left-wing groups to disband that city’s police department in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of a few bad cops last month.

DeBlasio is worse than David Dinkins was. That’s not to say that DeBlasio is the worst mayor in America today - he’s got stiff competition from Lori Lightfoot, Ted Wheeler, Jenny Durkan and a host of other Democrats.

At least Seattle is having a serious recall petition for their nutjob mayor. I really can’t feel sorry for New York City folk who put this jerk in office, not once, but twice, and now after all he has done to wreck the city, still refuse to have a serious recall. Let them suffer. No federal funds for you. Or in the words of Gerald Ford. Drop dead.....again!

NYC deserves everything that is happening there. The sad fact is that the ignorant youth of the city have never studied what happens in a communist take-over. Well, just take a look New Yorkers. You have your “utopian” society. Now go suck on it!!

[Liz]

Amen.

Just like Venezuela, its rulers are not foreigner invaders imposed on them and kept in power by others. Their society is an exact mirror of their own morality, and their governments are products of the local culture, and their own choices.

Well at least he’s done one thing spectacularly well ; )

Pretty much says it all. NYC seems to be 0K with watching their city decline under de Blasio. Its as if they don’t care.

[M-cubed]

yup..they move..but continue to vote D....

and once they've been there a few months they get into the local politics and explain how they did things in NY!!!

[shanover]

And the NYC morons will EASILY re-elect what they have. NYC is becoming uninhabitable and yet the left wants this to be the new normal for the rest of the country.

[Vaduz]

About the only left in democrat run cities are tombstones their job is done.

When he says he doesn’t like rich people, de Blasio isn’t kidding.
