Other cities can balance their budgets but NYC, for example, has been in bankruptcy in the 70's and may be staring at it again. I have misgivings about bailing out loser mindsets and behavior. Our federal government included.
Barr is trolling well. That's an important skill for an AG.
Barr is not trolling.
Why single out NYC?
"The heads of over 160 major corporations, from Macy’s to MasterCard, are pleading with Mayor Bill de Blasio to finally crack down on crime and address quality-of-life concerns so New Yorkers can return to work ..."
Because de Blasio is running it into the ground.
Why Portland?
Over 100 nights of rioting and it is starting up again.
Why Seattle?
Because anarchists took over 6 city blocks for several weeks and the mayor did nothing for the longest time except say "Maybe it is another summer of love"
There are still liberals, Democrats, and children playing Red Guard in Seattle.
China is run by an steelfisted oligarchy, but in the future historians might say that during this time it was civilized whereas the US was not.
A hallmark of civilization is being able to use public transportation safely. It is not the only hallmark, but on that, China has us beat. It certainly has us beat, when looking Seattle, Portland and NYC.
Look, 95% of the US is civil, I know, I travel a lot and see nothing of all this rioting. It’s just focused on a small portion of the population and is not a thing other than for the media to harp on and get everyone’s panties in a wad. If you want to see chaos, look at what the Italian black shirts did or the German SA (not SS), they were bullies of 25-100x in comparison.
The largest 50 cities all had protests (okay) and mayhem (not okay). We do not hear about Detroit, because there is nothing to destroy. The Democrats have misruled it for so long.
In Austin and elsewhere in Texas a Democrat governor cracked down and prevented Democrats from using their bully boys.
In Louisville it is ot the governor and it definitely is not the mayor. BLM and others are afraid of the citizens who might meet force with force.
We had problems in St Louis. The DA there is a Soros DA. There are still problems in Denver. Lincoln had problems but the governor sent the national guard.
More cities would be experience periodic violence except Nancy Pelosi got back the internal polls that showed it was hurting the Democrats.
Where I live the hooligans wanted to hit the major city and the next 6 largest cities. The police were enough by themselves merely being a presence.
Miss nancy showed her colors. Her behavior had little to do about the country but she came to life [for a fossil] when this behavior meant lost votes.
No shame.
Give me the money I will put a end to all that madness
