Don Surber: NYC won't recover

Very interesting. Surber, looks at the actions of Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Mario Andrew Cuomo and their handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing unrest in NYC.

Oh he had help this time. Covid 19 sent the city reeling. Work from home showed corporations they don't need an expensive presence in New York City. Bars and restaurants folded like Republicans in a government shutdown. The elitists fled the city as the quality of life -- no Broadway, no restaurants, no gala parties -- dropped like a dead fly.

But de Blasio, and his fellow Democrat, Governor Dumber Than Fredo Cuomo, went out of their way to turn New York City into the epicenter of Wuhan Flu.

...

New York City's 23,002 covid 19 deaths are more than the total deaths of the top 3 states by population: California, Texas, and Florida. They have a total of 90 million people.

New York City has 8 million.

Covid 19 hits those with a comorbidity first, and New Yorkers saddled themselves with the Comorbidity Couple: de Blasio and Cuomo.

The first comorbidity was stupidity.

From encouraging people to hug strangers in Chinatown to putting people with covid 19 in nursing homes to not disinfecting the subways, de Blasio and Cuomo spread the virus like hot butter on toast.

But the real comorbidity is crime. It shot up. Democrats released people arrested for crimes from jail to commit more crimes. De Blasio alienated the police. De Blasio embraced the looters and rioters protesting the police.

New York City topped Chicago in gun murders last weekend. Amazing. Chiraq may relinquish its title of Murder City USA to New Yorkistan.

People notice. The escape from New York City is on.

And I feel as if NYC is the tip of the iceberg. I'd rather hope the greatest city in the world - actually Chicago is the greatest city in the world but isn't in the best shape itself - isn't near its end. It's important to be optimistic, however, it's disheartening to see such a large and important city descend into chaos.
