#1 If you play SimCity and your sim-Citizens start moving away, it means you're losing. It kinda sorta works the same in Real Life(tm).

#2 Lest we forget the volunteer workers who came to Nueva York to help in the fight against COVID-19 only to be taxed by the state.

With every passing day I continue to be amazed at just how disconnected with reality Wilhelm is.

#4 COVID is a disease of age and density.

If you're older get out of anywhere dense.

Wealth is correlated with age, especially baby boomers who've signed cheques in their kids names (via the government).

#5 Mr. de Blasio said he isn’t interested in making "decisions based on the wealthy few."

Once the tax revenue starts drying up, he should have to reconsider it, but he won't. I have to conclude he's trying to destroy NYC; what else would you or I do differently than what he's doing now?

#6 He and his wife have been ticks on the public payroll so long, they've lost all touch. She wants to be on the City Council. Make them get real jobs

#8 How much are they paying to replace the "wealthy few"?

I assume he wants to import some rich Chinese right?

#9 Get the rich Chinese ? Yeah they would move in but they have their own way of preventing crime against them. " Dis hatchet be for you if taxes don't come down . "

#10 Maybe.

But their wealth sure as hell won't be replaced.

#11 He's moving their homeless population into over 100 hotels citywide, so maybe that's what he was referring to.

#12 The voters are getting what they voted for - good and hard. I think that old saw about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time is a good predictor of where they are going.

#14 I'm sure the plan is to import lots of rich Chinese. Problem is, those able to be imported already figured a way to get their money out of China, they aren't going to turn around and park it here.

They'll come back if I press the disaster button one more time.

#17 He's counting on a Biden Bailout.

And if he, and those like him in other cities, fully succeed in Curleyization, then every major city in America can go 120% for Biden -- even red state cities.

Who will stop them?

#18 There dwelt in the Channel a digger
Whose chick had a helluva figure.
He: "Fiddle-dee-dee!
Sure, she'd be on TV... whatever that is...
If the bastids would hire a jigger."
