#2 Grom,

I have a feeling that the real issue here is that the right birds didn't get their beaks wet. A couple of checks here, a 'charitable donation' there, and it'll all be hunky-dory.

#8 Who are "THEY" Harcourt?

The rich guys or the Mayor and company?

In any case I think MM has it right. BLM, Antifa, the teachers union, ACLU, et. al. will turn their utopia into a cesspool in a month with Guv. HairGell cheering them on.

#9 Another start at utopia, but they'll get it right, this time.
