Do you think they care? Do you think they even truly know? Do you even think they're intelligent enough to understand?

All they care about is that they can gain more power and control. And personally, as doompilled as this is going to sound, I think it's working for them. They're boiling the frog and sticking to it. Part of the biggest issue with the USSR was how fast everything changed. But today? This has been happening for a solid 30 years at least. They've shifted from the Revolutionary methodology and instead adopted the Fabian methodology. The long game. The slow burn. The gradual shift.

That wasn't slow burn shit. Hell, it wasn't even related to that all that much. It is now, but at the time it wasn't and was mostly naive idiots thinking the grass on the other side was greener (and boy were they wrong).

Either way, it doesn't really matter what year you want to put on it, some asshole will come along and say "pfft, you think it's only been happening that long? It's actually this long!", entirely missing the point that there has been a significant shit in tactics.

Also, 130 years pre-dates USSR, and contradicts the point that there has been a shift from explosive sudden changes to subtle long-term changes.

I wonder if this would trigger a wave of closures just before the law comes into effect. Businesses who are evaluating whether to leave or not might get pushed over the edge. GTFO while you still can and all that.

NYC didn't let Rossman go easily. They were still auditing and fining him over a year after he left.

After Rush Limbaugh moved his show from New York to Florida, New York audited him every year until he died to make him prove he's no longer running business operations in New York. He wasn't doing it, and they had no evidence of any kind that he was doing it; yet the onus was on Rush to prove he wasn't doing it.

Life lesson: If you live in a blue state and you're highly effective at speaking truth to power, expect consequences...and if you live in D.C., expect serious consequences.

You don't even have to effective against them. You just need to have been a high taxpayer that used to reside full-time in the city and still maintain some connection.

People who moved out of state but kept in state residence for part time living will get constantly audited. A friend of mines father used to live in NYC, moved to Florida, but kept a residence in NYC for visiting family. He purposely makes sure to use his credit in Florida at least once a day to show proof every year when NYC claims he still lives there more than half the year.

Thankfully it doesn't matter what state you're in in Australia. At times I've lived interstate for 9-10 months at a time and it has never mattered in any way shape or form.

Anyone who was considering the idea beforehand will almost certainly do it now. Nothing like commitment to make anyone back out of a semicomfortable situation.

I'd try to get out well before then, if I owned the place. The land value, or the lease-sublet-until-lease-comes-due value, will crash and burn hard if the communists institute authoritarian command economy measures. Wait too long, and it will become more and more costly to get out.

NYC banks already "extend-and-pretend" their commercial loans to prevent them from holding a bag on their shitty vacant properties full of crime. I can see San Fran doing the same.

Hey SF, you're locking up products instead of the thieves.

Hilariously enough, I saw a picture of one CVS where the only items not locked up were sunscreen.

Their problem solving skills are just... amazing.

Couple this with:

  • the goofball in Chicago wanting to sue automakers for making cars that allow themselves to be stolen.
  • the nutter in Philly that wants to ban plexiglass barriers that protect employees.

But punishing the miscreants? No. Can't have that.

The mayor of St Louis recently spoke about holding business owners responsible for the crime taking place in and around businesses like gas stations and convenient stores.

Wait, the coof barriers? Because those need to go yesterday.

Or is said nutter talking about banning another kind of barrier. Bulletproof plexi/polymer or something?

In seasoned parts of US cities, every business has to have huge thick Plexiglass barriers between customers and the employees to keep the employees from being shot and killed over $20. They also have to have iron bars over the windows, concrete bollards in front of the doors, and in the really well-seasoned parts they have to go as far as having the air conditioner units bolted inside of big heavy metal cages.

She thinks the bulletproof/please don't stab me barriers were racist. It was back before theCoof and seemed worded to target asian businesses.

They're also obvious tells you're in a ghetto shithole, which hurt property appraisals and, more importantly, lower tax revenue for the government to parasitize.

It’s worse than American slavery because the slaves got free room and board for a small amount of work. Now they want you to pay them for the privilege of working without profit.

"He has been on the board of the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association. In the early 2000s, he worked to stop fast-food franchises such as Burger King and Domino's from moving into Alamo Square. Preston owns stock shares valued between $400,000 and $4 million in Apple, Microsoft, IBM and Cisco."

ah.. that kind of guy.. if he's so concerned, why not invest in grocery stores then, Dean?

Classic socialism. Market forces not agreeing with your ideological position? Just dictate the market by fiat. Fix or cap prices. Force businesses to operate at a loss. Arbitrarily punish or reward parties in business deals or agreements after the fact, regardless of what the original terms were.

The result is always the same: failure, shortages and more poverty.

This is a genuine “no, it’s the children who are wrong” moment.

Instead of fixing the issue and rejuvenating hope that businesses can exist in Cali without spics and niggers taking half their products for free. They are now going deeper down the commie rabbit hole and are now forcing private businesses to operate in a state that isn’t profitable for them? How long until we have armed guards forcing people to buy toilet paper at Walmart or some shit?

Are they going to mandate how many employees you have or what products you sell or how many shelves are stocked or what hours the store is open? If not, what's to stop the store from having one employee selling gum from 3-4pm only on every other wendesday? If they are going to mandate all of that, who's going to centrally plan it all? What if all the employees decide to quit? Will they be forced to work so the store can remain open according to government mandate?
