Instead of supporting individual liberty at home, they are supporting one of 2 warring tribes in the middle east. Makes no sense at all.

While I agree with you, the problem is that Wall St will get bailed out (at your and
my expense) by corrupt scum in D.C. and Main St will get all the suffering.
I hope the producing few will be prepared.

Let's coin a new term on this site, "JINOs," Jews in name only.

I often wondered how Nero could Fiddle while Rome burned...

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” Tytler

Well as long as there is choice between chosen and required, that's fine. Sometimes, though, while there is a "choice," the choice doesn't really exist.

Customers and suppliers choose if it isn't required. The only reason grass fed beef and free range chicken succeeds if free choice. If it becomes standard, still free choice. Until it is not.

I think we are now living the fruition of the plan set forth by Stalin back in the '20s and '30s. The Soviet Union is dead, but not the Soviet plan.

Of course there's a more Christian religious view in that God's greatest gift to mankind was Jesus Christ and Satan's response was Mohammad and Marx. Mamdani's got both covered.

Yes indeed are we not so proud of the teachers in this country!!! Some will say not all but those who are the not all are influenced by their leaders and must follow to keep their job. ONE only one man I met refused to bend and quit and doing very well out of the school system.

They said that Queens could stay,
they blew the Bronx away,
and sank Manhattan out at sea.

For a 1970s song, he was only off by a few short years.

I don't really disagree, but when it comes to animals that we are not personally raising, "approved for use" soon becomes the standard, and then to find meat that won't kill you becomes more and more difficult and expensive. Similar situation to grass fed beef, which is better for you but much more expensive (edited to add the last bit). Of course they want us to quit eating meat anyway, so there is no incentive to hold back.

What ever happened to "NO. Just no."

Believe it or not I made that up a long time ago when cow farts became so important to the global warming (morphed into climate change) crowd. I noticed a stampeding buffalo herd in a movie and thought, "Holy cow fart factory on the move!", LOL! You're welcome to use it whenever it suits you.

I 1,000% hope this happens.

Make a hundred million, and try to denoucne your citizenship and leave without selling/paying taxes. GOOD LUCK. The USA won't let you do that.

I can see NY blocking that as well...

Yes, I am counting on it. Counting on the worse downturn in NYC history, and a massive economic failure. Worse is better. Collapse is best.

Love that one. Gonna steal it!

"Approved for use" is ok with me. "Forced to use" is THE problem.

See the plan? It’s pretty clear. And, America will probably totally changed within ten years.

NYC gave in completely to Wall St corruption in the late 80's and few made any attempt at ethical behavior since.
The acceptance of thievery set an example that the young weren't taught to resist, imo.
There hasn't been significant actual production in NYC in more than 50 years, just stealing from everyone else.
Those with integrity leave. The parasites must learn by starvation. NYC is acting out AS.

I wonder if this was said in jest; unless I'm more naive than I thought I was, I very much doubt Abbot has the power to levy any kind of fee or tax to people moving to Texas based solely on their former state of residence.

The saying "be careful what you wish for; you just might get it" comes to mind. Or, in the words of Ed Koch "The people have spoken. And they must be punished."

TheRealBill, you triggered the memory of a cousin Bill who lived in Connecticut. He and his pretty blonde wife also showed up when I was visiting my parents one warm for Christmas in Dothan, Alabama, having a newspaper reporter's job elsewhere in that state during the Seventies.
Thought it odd when Bill complained to his wife that he really needed a beer just after breakfast. Me dino wondered "Who the heck REALLY needs a beer shortly after breakfast?"
Lost track of cousin Bill until some time during the late Eighties. One of my brothers told me that Bill's wife had left him long before he moved to New Orleans I guess to keep warm. Guess he didn't know you can also freeze to death during a winter in the Deep South. That is how cousin Bill died as a homeless drunk.

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

Where was the "climate change" when there were millions of buffalo (bison), elk, and caribou pooping and farting all over North America? Oh yeah, along came the white man who slaughtered all the herds and saved the planet - har har har!

Update: It is now 11/05/2025 and the election is over. Mamdani won. How long before a NYC law is passed legislatiing people are free to leave, but their wealth must be left behind - or legislation having a similar effect. I'm not one to wish ill on folks, but the NYC electorate needs to experience what they wished (voted) for. May their wealth be confiscated and spread around "for the greater good". May the keys to their homes and cars be shared with anyone who needs a place to stay or transportation - after all, "they didn't make those things, why should they be the only ones to have them?".

Winter's coming soon, fellas. Go write a message in the snow to your favorite dem :)
Memes too good to choose a favorite. Thanks once more, ouc.
