Peoples’ Republic of New York

New York City has decided to lean into socialism.
It’s hard to say what exactly the fallout will be.

Certainly there will be destabilization of the city’s economy and safety.
This would present an opportunity for foreign powers to gain a stronger foothold within the USA to further espionage and other shenanigans.

I’m curious what the professionals think as to the risk this creates for the nation as a whole.

He's already started the 'tax the rich' mantra and that'll be popular for the comrades.

I can't see that working tho...there are no freebies in the long run.

However, he'll blame everything on anything but his socialist programs when things go south.

It will be interesting to watch him finding the things that a mayor's office there can't do.

you guys give our "citizens" too much credit. They will just push harder, tax more, take more, crush opposition. Things will get VERY ugly in the long term, possibly here right quickly.

They just voted in a commie Muj as Mayor not one generation post-9/11. New York deserves to die, and die it will.

Now, on the bright side, maybe this will provide the impetus for the all out revolution that we all know is coming. I say let's get it on while we can still fight; whether that "fight" is intellectually in the marketplace, or in the streets against the mob.

What surprises me is the amount of jews voting for this guy and lining up to be tossed into the ovens....again.

It’s going to be very interesting to see how many of “the rich” that they intend to tax , move out quickly (?). When the Billionaires with a B no longer reside there then they’ll have to come after the millionaires. The same millionaires that Ole Bernie used to say should pay their fair share until he became one, then he started saying let’s make the billionaire pay his fair share.

They’re always about going after and giving away someone else’s money; that way it has no effect on them. You know, “free shit”; like they do in those European countries.

Federalism will be put to the test.
People will vote with their feet.

The key question:
Is political power decentralized enough to enforce natural consequences?

Three legged stool

Well….. guess the other two haven’t worked yet…. I’m glad I’ve stocked up on the third…..

Soap Box: Not enough seem to listen to the warnings

Ballot Box: You can vote yourself into tyranny but you need the 3rd Box to get out

Cartridge Box: 5.56 seems to be the best option due to plenty of battle field recovery options. I prefer 77gr Black Hills if anyone knows where to find any……..

I’m glad The Box is on our side!

As many of you know, I fled a deep blue state two years ago and moved to Free Pineland. The natives here don't like the influx of new people, but usually they accept me when I (1) tell them I am a refugee, not a missionary; (2) show them my "Don't tread on me" license plate; and (3) show them a photo of my gun safe.

People do vote with their feet, however they tend to bring their F-Up ideologies with them and the vote for the tools with flashy websites that create the problems. Then the tools spend big money on out of state consulting firms to show them how to F*** things up even more. DEI Sheriff, DEI Police Chief, DEI Mayor, DEI City Council, DEI School Board, DEI County Officials, DEI State Officials, spineless/cooped representation on the Federal level is the death of Federalism and the Republic.

Looking more and more like there is only one box left to reverse the cancer that has metastasized.
