Here’s what happens next:
1) Now that existing landlords can no longer can raise rents as costs inflate, they either let their apartments fall to ruin or quit entirely
2) New development ceases as investors avoid investing where revenue is fixed, expenses are not, and their work is vilified
3) The now state run, run down apartments are exploding in cost as housing units go offline and new development completely stops outside of wildly over budget, always delayed government housing
4) The communist response is to blame greedy landlords and developers for not being willing to go bankrupt to provide housing for others
5) As the productive flee the city, the communists have no choice but to increase taxes even more - on everyone, not just the few rich left in the city
6) The race to the bottom begins, as societal unrest grows, factions develop, and in-fighting reigns
7) The great hope - which is not a guarantee - is that reason eventually prevails and a reversion to common sense enables the slow, painful recovery of New York City
There is no path for this to go well, NYC.
It ends as it always has throughout history: Less housing, higher prices, and higher taxes for you.
RE: Don Lemon
So Democrats are screeching that Don Lemon is being persecuted in violation of his First Amendment rights as a journalist.
At times like this, I like to flip the facts of the scenario ideologically while leaving the legal facts the same, and see if the argument still holds up.
So here goes.
Let’s pretend Kamala won the 2024 election.
Let’s further pretend that there is a mosque in a deep, deep red Oklahoma county, and that mosque’s imam is suspected of being a Muslim Brotherhood leader.
Let’s further pretend that the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers organized a secret protest against that mosque that was to occur during prayer services.
Let’s further pretend that they carried through on the protest, loudly storming the mosque, chanting “Remember 9/11,” wholly disrupting the prayer service and scaring innocent children who were in attendance with their parents.
Let’s also pretend that Laura Loomer accompanied the protest, reporting on it as a journalist.
Finally, let’s pretend that Kamala’s Attorney General (Mark Elias) had Laura arrested.
Would Democrats be screeching about Laura’s First Amendment rights?
Of course not—even though the legal issues in my scenario are EXACTLY the same as those that are the bases for the current charges against Lemon.

@VintageHobbyGuy It will eventually start to kowtow you and give you incorrect info. I have a chat in which I've trained it over and over with what to look for. Then test it by uploading pics of clearly OC cards and see if it picks it up. Once you have it trained, it's a great tool.
We told you doctors got kick backs for pushing vaccines and you didn’t believe us.
Once again, we were right.
How many times will it take before you start paying attention?
Come on @BarackObama, say his name. It’s the easiest opportunity you’ve ever had to give some credit to President Trump & unite Americans. This fact that you refuse to do it, even in this one very special case, reflects why we’re so divided.
Happy birthday to The Captain 🥳
