Been watching a MacBook repairman for a while, and found this gem. Essentially the city will become empty because:
Everything that people would stay in NYC to do and be worth the taxes is closed due to quarantine,
Taxes are terrible
Foreign wealthy people (probably mainly CCP) own hundreds, if not thousands of buildings that they don’t care to rent because it’s just there for tax writeoffs.
Just food for thought. Ideally, my solution to this would be a vacancy tax for commercially coded buildings, but I’d love to know if anyone had a better idea than that. Oh, also for Congress to pass a law stating foreigners aren’t allowed to own more than a certain amount of property in the whole country, if they can own any property at all.
New York City real-estate has other problems. Check out this article. People are leaving New York so fast that they're buying houses that they've never even seen. They're discovering that they like life outside of New York and they're not coming back.
But they will then take NYC to their new homes, and shit them up.
Democracy was a mistake.
That's a bit harsh. Democracy is fine buy the franchise should never have been extended past land or business owning males
The longer I live, the more "Service guarantees citizenship," makes sense.
#HeinleinWasRight
Democracy is the path to socialism. This is a Republic for a reason
The franchise will always be expanded by decadent elites seeking power.
If the "elites" get their way whether people vote or not and regardless of how the people vote; and if we are where we are as a country due to the "elites", what would have made the outcome any different had people not been able to vote?
The corporate structure works well. There is an absolute king who can be replaced by the board if he gets crazy. The board has no power themselves. We need a capitalist government with meritocratic heirarchies.
The same "corporate structure" that's all in on wokeness, degeneracy, and alienating half its consumer base?
Net-taxpayers.
Yeah that might work but then again an awful lot of highly paid idiots in academia and white collar work would qualify then.
Id rather a small business owner get the vote over any ten academics
CA also.
Incredible
Remember that the people voted into power in NY are the ones that set the policies that drove you to flee for your life. Vote differently than those that chased you from your home wherever you end up and you'll help keep it a safe home.
For some reason, only ex-USSR and ex-Cubans actually do so. Everyone else (including ex-Venezuelans) votes to shit up the place they moved to. And the kids of the Cubans do too.
The people out on the streets didn't vote.
The people fleeing did, and voted blue at that and will continue to do so because they don't see themselves at the problem

If he doesn't hedge like that, his life is over.
This is the closest a stage 4 TDS sufferer will ever get to admitting he was wrong. There's about zero chance he votes democrat for the next 20 years.
I was with you up until
You clearly don't live among these people. Cause and effect are just meaningless words to them. There has to be something physically wrong with their brains, because they can never seem to parse that the policies that allow what they hate to occur is a direct result of who they voted for. Elephant men bad! Donkey men good!
Holy shit, their number 1 destination is in my state. We are fucked. Damn these carpet-bagging Yankees to hell, they create a shithole and move away from their problems.
Georgia? It says Atlanta, which is already pretty much taken over.
Other than buffing up their left-wing voting numbers a bit, not much should change everywhere else.
Also lol none for Alabama. That's right, we're all a bunch of inbreeding hicks. Don't come here, you'll hate it.
Yeah, but Atlanta one day may eclipse the rest of the state. Will y’all take a fed up, right wing Georgia cracker if we flip blue.
Free country, free state.

De Blasio is doing his best Jan Matthys impression and recreating the anabaptist Munster commune with NYC. I can't wait for the enforced polygamy.
Only after he gets to experience the enforced polygamy in the west village.
Is it bad I know who you were talking about with just “MacBook repairman”?
I was memeing because that’s all I would have to say to make people know who it is.
Gotta be NZ residents... So for example, my employer who bought the business and a few more, a couple years ago, is Indian, lives in India, runs the place from India... But has dual citizenship. Comes back to NZ maybe every 6 months. The shit sounds a lot better on paper than it actually is.
You also get "dual citizenship" Chinese and Indians who buys a shitload of houses and businesses and only "rents" and employs his countrymen. So essentially foreign owners who use a dual citizen to buy it for them, then when they have been here long enough to get citizenship (since our immigration policy is fucked) they just "buy" it off their puppet.
And then throw in "family class/reunification" chain migration, and their huge extended families ... Only the first one has to pass any points system, or know the language and culture, the rest can just sleaze on in, even regardless of criminal history (at least in Canada.)
I honestly can't believe it wasn't already illegal for foreigners to own property in virtually every non-Caribbean Western country.
why are foreigners allowed to own real estate?
NY allow the rent from vacant properties to be written off against profits on taxes, this causes huge problems in every city in the state where it's best for the owner if the property stays empty and over priced since that just adds to the wire off.
