Man, that's rugged. Animals. I thought they were going to have community based aromatherapists that would come by in emergencies like that to "provide care" to the distressed.
Just read yesterday, that defund the police is still on in Seattle. Y'all will recall that the mayor eventually backed down on the defund thing because too many people were getting killed and burned out and she was getting political heat, so she rescinded that plan or vetoed it, whatever. But the City Council has over-ridden her veto, Summer of Love is back on.
Not to worry, Antifa and BLM thugs, on route to New York from California. Increasing numbers of extreme liberal thugs are on the way to extreme liberal states of Washington, Nevada, Oregon, New York from California per reports in articles. Should make the destruction of those extreme liberal states complete before long. Just the recent labor day weekend, they brawled at the lobby of the Encore in Las Vegas. Life must be good in extreme liberal, shithole states that extreme liberals are now flocking to them. They are right at home.

Goldman Sachs eying Florida move for key division, report says Florida offers tax advantages — not to mention warmer weather appreciated by at least some Manhattan-weary workers Goldman Sachs is eying a move to Florida for one of its key divisions — in what could be yet another major blow to New York City’s position at the helm of the financial industry, a new report says. The financial titan is considering relocating its $8 billion-revenue-generating asset-management arm to Palm Beach County or Fort Lauderdale, checking out potential real estate, chatting up local officials and weighing the Sunshine State’s tax advantages, sources told Bloomberg. The potential development comes on the heels of several other investment companies moving from the Big Apple to down South — and battering New York’s bottom line with the loss of white-collar jobs. There is now the most office space empty in Manhattan since right after 9/11, Bloomberg said. As The Post reported in October, billionaire Paul Singer has decided to move the headquarters of his hedge fund Elliott Management from Manhattan to Florida, according to sources, while Carl Icahn also made the switch for his offices. Florida offers tax advantages — not to mention warmer weather appreciated by at least some Manhattan-weary workers. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that more work can be done remotely than ever before, too, so there is less of a need for costly offices, sources told Bloomberg. Still, no decision has been made by the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., which is considering Dallas, Texas, too, for its assets-management division, the site said. “We are executing on the strategy of locating more jobs in high-value locations throughout the US, but we have no specific plans to announce at this time,” a company rep told Bloomberg in a statement. New York’s economy has been reeling from the coroanvirus, as companies battle decreased business amid government restrictions and public health fears. The securities and trading industry is vital to its survival. Last year, the industry accounted for 18 percent, or more than $15 billion, of collected state taxes, and 6 percent of New York City taxes collected. https://www.foxbusiness.com/financials/goldman-sachs-eying-florida-move-for-key-division-report-says
I escaped New York year's ago and so glad I did not have to live in that prison... With technology today, there is no reason to pay that kind of rent and suffer that kind of commute for your employees just to say "look I am in mid-town!" I go maybe once every 2 years when I have no choice and enjoy it for a few hours and then feel better when we leave. I just don't get the NYC vibe people love. After being in larger cities overseas, those are beautiful and would be amazing to live in. NYC.....meh
SNL paid audience members as extras to get around comrade Deblaiso's oppressive restrictions. So I guess if every restaurant and bar pays their customers a small wage they can call them employees. But the crisis is all about saving lives. No really, comrade Bill just wants to save lives.
NYC Mayor de Blasio: 'I like to say very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth https://www.theblaze.com/news/nyc-m...bluntly-our-mission-is-to-redistribute-wealth New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) reiterated to his constituents Friday, "I like to say very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth," a declaration he has made before although he recognized that "a lot of people bristle at that phrase." What are the details? During a press conference, de Blasio began by voicing his support for the findings of a recently-concluded investigation by the city that determined the NYPD "made a number of key errors that likely escalated tensions and a potential for violence" during the protests following the death of George Floyd. He promised the police department would be reformed. "The COVID era has taught us that so clearly, and we need to do better and we will," de Blasio said. "And that means a commitment to fighting disparities and inequality in every part of the life of New York City and that certainly takes us to education where if you're talking about the problems of disparity, if you're talking about structural racism, certainly policing is not the only area to talk about. There are many areas to talk about and education must be front and center." "There has been so much that needed to be addressed in education in New York City, and from the beginning, what I tried to focus on was a very simple concept: equity and excellence," he continued. "That we needed to profoundly change the distribution of resources." De Blasio emphasized, "I like to say very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth." He added, "A lot of people bristle at that phrase, that is, in fact, the phrase we need to use." Mayor Bill de Blasio: "Our mission is to redistribute wealth." https://t.co/42Dv9tsRK0 — The Hill (@the Hill)1608315867.0 De Blasio has used such phrasing before, even just recently. In August, the New York Post reported that de Blasio "made a public plea" for "taxing the rich and redistributing their money even as the Big Apple reels from a coronavirus-induced budget crisis that's already caused well-heeled New Yorkers to head for the hills." "Help me tax the wealthy. Help me redistribute wealth. Help me build affordable housing in white communities if you want desegregation," the mayor told a caller on WNYC's "The Brian Lehrer Show" during a discussion about schools. "What changes things is redistribution of wealth," he reiterated. "Tax the wealthy at a much higher level. I just feel like this is a lot of cocktail party comfort going on rather than people honestly dealing with this issue." But de Blasio's insistence on further taxes on wealthy New Yorkers has received pushback even from fellow Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has pleaded with high earners to stop fleeing the state in a mass exodus that began when the coronavirus and lockdowns hit. Cuomo pointed out earlier this year that the wealthiest one percent of New Yorkers pay roughly half the taxes collected in the state.
