The government will run out of stuff, when there is nothing left to take.

Exactly. The government store is the biggest fencing operation ever. It’s got nothing to sell other than what it stole from us.

Not sure about that. Government is something you almost never run short of.

How long will it take NYC's wealthy corporate tax base to fold even further? Zohran ze socialist will probably make corporate tax cut outs since that's what Democrats usually do.

The Demos can GTFO, the beauty of Manhattan shall be automated.

To be enjoyed by the Enlightened.

I mean really 🧐

… the peasants are long overdue a downsizing.

It’s an estate, not a community.

The Ideal NYC is a few gleaming skyscrapers and the rest automated, Dubai on the Hudson as Sailer calls it.

Really something so beautiful is properly only appreciated by the few, and inhabited by the fewer.

Just the urban version of the country estate.

Soon enough the surviving Campuses and schools of America shall follow the same model.

Corporate taxes are ideal, the demos - to the extent they still exist- don’t notice, and don’t understand anyway.

With modern monetary theory being the bedrock of all our affluence, taxes themselves are somewhat anachronistic.

Government cheese became an important topic for the press in the 1980s, when the press learned about the milk products that were being stored across the nation while millions of Americans felt food insecurity. During the same time in the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan's administration cut the budget on the US federal food stamp program.[1]
