The video is a preview of what you can look forward to if you decide to vote Biden into office. (or at least the shell of the man who used to be Biden)

Not true. We should all care and have a say, because what is going on there is what the Democrats have planned for the entire nation. This is the future they want and are working to achieve. They want the complete destruction of private business and want people to have no choice but to turn to the government for everything. Obama even gave a speech about this as the end goal back in his day.

So apparently, Democrats idea to MAGA is to destroy most major USA cities. How much more proof is required to demonstrate that the left is totally and completely insane?

Looks like New York might want to 'Reimagine' their PR Campaign:

70s NY never bothered me. Wish I can buy an apartment now at triple 70s prices even with the problems of the of that era.
My concern in NYC is covid 19, anything then or now I can deal with.

While I believed him, I had no way of knowing to what extent things have gotten to.

He sent me this link of someone who did a video;

It is hard to believe virtually every major store/shop is bordered up on his 4 minute drive, with some never to return.

What did you think losing 1/3 of the US GDP in one quarter meant? Business as usual? That's not just Manhattan, that's the whole country. The IRS is projecting 37 million fewer W-2 tax returns this year.

Trump has run the economy off a cliff. When it hits bottom, there won't even be any pieces to pick up.

My goodness, would you be saying the exact same words if Hillary or some other Democrat was president when the Wuhan virus decimated the world economy?

Trump had the economy running strong and had eclipsed every dire prediction of the leftist economists. Then the virus hit the world.

Say what you will about Trumps personality, and we might even find some common ground there. However no fair minded person would blame him for the virus and the inevitable economic calamity that is following.

I can tell you this much. I'd rather have Trump in office to make a comeback, rather than the guy who was the VP when their "new normal" was going to be 1% growth.

As lousy the city was back then, I prefer it to today. Studio 54 was only a few stop on the subway train from dirt cheap apartments in Soho district. Train ride was only 80 Cents. No Studio 54 this time around and a lot fewer businesses, too.

I don't remember if there were coops or condos then but a house may have be had cheaply. How much did apartments rent for then?
