Sadly, the Genie is out of the bottle for good now. The toothpaste is out of the tube. The yutes will not be able to control their lusts for free loot and bloodshed

I think at this point it would be easier to post a list of dem politicians who have actually criticized the rioting and looting (I won’t refer to that behavior as protesting). I guess as soon as one does so a thread will get started. Might be a while.

If arson and trashing the place was the path to growth, Africa would look like Singapore from ocean to ocean.

Sick b*tch.

Hitler cremated Jews to grow a cleaner forest too, my dear AG.

Apparently, some of those ashes blew up your nose or other orifice and took root.

Local small businesses dying because they aren’t insured or if they are don’t have lawyers to deal with insurance companies if how multinationals grow, which increases inequality as well as decreasing accountability to the community.

"Yes, America is burning, but that's how forests grow" Healey said ...

This bum ditch doesn't know the first thing about plant ecology. Burning creates clear ground which allows fast growing annuals (weeds) that would otherwise be a minor constituent under the canopy to proliferate. The human dregs on riot speed-dial congesting our cities are those weeds.

“The parable of the broken window was introduced by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay “Ce qu’on voit et ce qu’on ne voit pas” (”That Which We See and That Which We Do Not See”) to illustrate why destruction, and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society.

The parable seeks to show how opportunity costs, as well as the law of unintended consequences, affect economic activity in ways that are unseen or ignored. The belief that destruction is good for the economy is consequently known as the broken window fallacy or glazier’s fallacy.”

From what I surmise, the afterthought justification that all the little people are supposed to buy is that this will usher in green businesses. You know, because that just what broke people are going to do on their way to the bankruptcy court.

It’s an interesting idea, but the businesses that are going to grow are the exploitive ones (if reputable businesses leave the cities), and large corporations that can afford to bend politicians to their will.

Ask yourselves this greenies, does being on the same side as Sen. Chuck Schumer make you wonder what you are missing about this whole thing?

the Gay State as well as we do,

Speaking of the Gay State, I just spoke to my mother-in-law who lives in Massachusetts. She lives in a complex, not a nursing home but about 1800 apts. owned mostly by the elderly.

She tells me that the owners have informed her that "Gay" flags will be hoisted above the main entrance and over each bank of apts and over the long term care building.

Gay flags? Mother-in-law was a wreck. She's 91 and tells me she just can't up and move. Not that she should I suppose but darn if I'd want to live in a building covered with gay flags.

Whatever they are.

Forests are natural occurrences. Cities are not. Businesses will not regrow naturally. Burnt-out buildings will not renew themselves. People who flee mayhem and violence will not drop seedlings on their way out of town.

The analogy is as vacuous as its author.

Auditioning for Fauxcahantas’ senate seat?
She would be perfect; a black Irish lesbian who is soft on crime and enviro-mental.

Ask a blacksmith. You heat the metal red. Hammer it to the shape wanted. When cool it’s strong again with a more useful shape.

Iron doesn’t flee but capital does, grocery stores do.
