Is NYC Dead Forever?

 From The Altucher Report:

NYC has never been locked down for five months. Not in any pandemic, war, financial crisis, never. In the middle of the polio epidemic, when little kids (including my mother) were becoming paralyzed or dying (my mother ended up with a bad leg), NYC didn’t go through this.  This is not to say what should have been done or should not have been done. That part is over. Now we have to deal with what IS.

In early March, many people (not me), left NYC when they felt it would provide safety from the virus and they no longer needed to go to work and all the restaurants were closed. People figured, “I’ll get out for a month or two and then come back.”

They are all still gone.

And then in June, during rioting and looting, a second wave of NYCers (this time including me) left. I have kids. Nothing was wrong with the protests but I was a little nervous when I saw videos of rioters after curfew trying to break into my building. Many people left temporarily but there were also people leaving permanently. Friends of mine moved to Nashville, Miami, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, Dallas, etc. (Read more.)


From Dan Bongino:

Even Dr. “infinite lockdown” Fauci thinks the hysteria over voting in person is nonsense. While he said that those who are high risk should take advantage of normal absentee voting methods, Fauci said in a recent interview with National Geographic that “I think if carefully done, according to the guidelines, there’s no reason that I can see why that not be the case. For example, you know, when you look at going to a grocery store now in many regions and counties and cities that are doing it correctly, they have X’s every six or more feet. And it says, ‘Don’t leave this spot until the person in front of you left their spot.’ And you can do that, if you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing, and don’t have a crowded situation, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do that.”   

Conspiracy theories that President Trump is attempting to sabotage the USPS have exploded in liberal spheres. One viral tweet claimed that Trump is trying to gut the number of USPS letter collection boxes, with the evidence being a truck hauling off said boxes. In reality, they were simply old and being replaced – something that happens to the tune of 10,000 blue collection boxes per year. This would also be a weird way of rigging an election, because anyone who lives in a home, apartment, or condo can simply go outside and use their own personal mailbox to send mail to circumvent this supposed sabotage.

If people can fill a supermarket shopping for food there is no reason why they cannot go to the polling booth. This is just another political ploy to.

Awright, awright, protests are a constitutional right but not when they block streets, disturb the peace and frighten people in the area of the protest so they are fearful of attending to their errands, and the children are fearful of going outside, etc. The Constitution specifically states , "Peaceful assembly". The protests I have witnessed on TV news media are of people marching around banging on pots and pans and engaging in many other sorts of disturbing and disrupting behaviors.
