f the Big Apple is to become the Green Apple, it will have to ban the steel and glass towers that form its signature skyline, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.

De Blasio, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” said that city’s most iconic structures – the tall skyscrapers seen from miles away – are the “biggest source of emissions” in New York City. The drastic change, and a switch to only renewable energy within five years, are necessary for Gotham to embrace the Green New Deal, de Blasio said.

Not one person voted Yea for the Green New Deal, so I think he knows this is all just for show.

Another socialist does it again, doing his level best to make life meaner, harder, nastier, and more impoverished for the rest of us, just like his soul fathers Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Chavez, and Maduro. Indeed, AOC has already done her part by killing 25,000 Amazon jobs that would have been created in NYC.

We used to put these people in asylums. Now they’re running the country and turned it into an asylum.

Way back in 1952 (that’s right, 1952), when I was 9.5 years old, I watched part of the DemonShit convention. They had a film eulogizing FDR and how he “ended the Depression.” One of its most memorable scenes was when the downtrodden unemployed saw hope again by looking up at factory smokestacks that once again had smoke coming out of them, meaning jobs and prosperity were returning. Imagine any DemonShit, let alone Red Bill or AOC, ever again approving such a hopeful, pro-American, prosperity celebrating ad. Instead, the modern DemonShits would haul the creator off to the nearest reeducation camp and make sure anybody else who worked on the film was permanently blacklisted.

Speaking of Billy, he pretty much got it right on this one:

Seen the lights go out Broadway
I saw the Empire State laid low
And life went on beyond the Palisades
They all bought Cadillacs
And left there long ago

They held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the island bridges blow
They turned our power down
And drove us underground
But we went right on with the show

I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the ruins at my feet
You know we almost didn’t notice it
We’d seen it all the time on Forty second street
They burned the churches down in Harlem
Like in that Spanish civil war
The flames were everywhere
But no one really cared
It always burned up there before

I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the mighty skyline fall
The boats were waiting at the battery
The union went on strike
They never sailed at all
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
And picked the Yankees up for free
They said that Queens could stay
And blew the Bronx away
And sank Manhattan out at sea

You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive

-Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)

There won’t be a repeat of the Chicago fire, AOC plans to kill all of the cows in less than 10 years.

Then, to make sure her Stalinist mass starvation plan really works, she’ll either murder most of the “rich, white capitalist” farmers or expropriate their farms and put them on collective farms. After all, she’s already said, “we’ve got to address factory farming,” a clear signal of her Stalinist intentions for our farmers and agriculture industry.

He’s a well-known socialist/commie. NYC gets what they voted for; no sympathy from me. I worked at Rock Ctr and Mad Ave for 17yrs.

Amazon was smart to pull out of negotiations, and go elsewhere. And I’m no friend of Amazon.

I always remember it being called The Rotten Apple, even when I worked there in the 70s & 80s.
