Schools Open?

  • New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that schools may reopen in the fall, but school districts will decide whether classes are held in-person or over the computer.

    “Every region is well below our COVID infection limit; therefore, all school districts are authorized to open,” Cuomo said Friday.
Cuomo has been taking some deserved heat for ordering sick senior citizens back to nursing homes, thereby dooming tens of thousands to early deaths. After that debacle, well-to-do New Yorker's fled the city droves, depriving New York City, County and State of billions in tax revenues.

Cuomo's national ambitions can't take another major hit, so he's begging rich people to come back to the Big Apple:
  • Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been begging rich people to return to New York City from their second-home retreats so they can pay taxes to help offset the state’s growing coronavirus-related revenue shortfall.

    “I literally talk to people all day long who are now in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house, or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, ‘You got to come back! We’ll go to dinner! I’ll buy you a drink! Come over, I’ll cook!’” the Democratic governor said Monday.

    “They’re not coming back right now. And you know what else they’re thinking? ‘If I stay there, I’ll pay a lower income tax,’ because they don’t pay the New York City surcharge,” he added, noting the wealthiest 1 percent of the Empire State’s population picks up roughly 50 percent of the state’s tax burden.
Cuomo is discovering what Putzker isn't - rich people (who pay massive amounts in taxes), can always afford to relocate, or leave, for extended periods of time. And once they see how much they save and how much less restriction there is on their day-to-day activities, they find that they like it, and stay even longer.

After all, it's better to stay where the criminals aren't (be sure to check out the pictures - thi$ i$ New York'$ Upper We$t $ide):
  • Hundreds of homeless people who have been put up in luxury hotels on Manhattan's Upper West Side by the city as part of its efforts to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in shelters are terrifying residents by urinating, sleeping and taking drugs in the streets.

    In July, it emerged that 139 of the city's iconic hotels - which had been forced closed for months - had agreed to take in homeless people for $175 per person, per night as part of a scheme by the city to try to avoid a breakout of COVID-19 in homeless shelters.

    [...] A Facebook group, in which residents have shared pictures of men urinating, masturbating and laying sprawled out on sidewalks near the hotels, has been set up and there are other complaints on Twitter.

    'Our community is terrified, angry and frightened,' one organizer of the 1,700 member group, Dr. Megan Martin, told The Post.
Maybe you shouldn't vote for democrats then? They told you exactly what they were going to do and you still voted for it.

Or would that be too simple?

Time to play hardball with CTU.

Cut them zero slack.

No slight is too small.

Remember, many are scofflaws and don’t buy city stickers and have expired plates.

CTU is the enemy.

I am not a Governor CUOMO fan but at least the guy is being real and telling the truth about who pays the bills and how much they are needed.Do you think that you would ever see Pritzker or Lightfoot begging rich white people to move back into the State and City????Or even acknowledging that there is a massive flight out of this State and City?They both reside in fantasy land where everything is rainbows and unicorns.

If Gov Pigsker’s progressive Madigan Tax gets passed, you will see a lot more wealthy folks leave the state. I know several who have left already. Anyone who owns a S-corporation, LLC, LP or any other pass through tax business will leave. They can keep their homes in IL and live elsewhere for 186 days in a year and now all their investment income will not be taxed at IL rates b/c they will be residents elsewhere. Many of them are selling their IL homes and are just leaving for good. This isn’t California or New York. People WILL leave. NYC is the financial capital of the world and California is beautiful, has perfect weather, has a ton of tech companies and so the wealthy put up with the higher taxes. Not here, especially with WI and IN an hour away.

That's all well and good, but once these people actually do relocate, they vote for the same kind of assholes that ruined their previous home. They're like locusts; they just eat until all the crops are destroyed, then move to the next location.

there was a time when the democrats worked for the people. the social brainwashing runs deep in the public. groups vote against their own interests now by voting for these monsters. most rich people vote D. they want to tax you 90 % and make you live with ghetto crime. celebrities ditto. jews vote D and the party calls for the destruction of isreal. gays vote D. the party backs sharia law in america, um, they kill gays. unions support the D, even though it was D policies that sent union jobs to mexico and china. the unions backed nafta for gods sake. catholics vote D even though the D supports abortion, destruction of family and morals, legal drugs etc. i can think of many other examples. is it the non stop msm dnc propaganda? the free shit for everyone ? people want to be trendy? or have these people lost their minds. the left is eagerly, openly destroying everything good in america and it seems like everyone is all for it. to speak out makes you a paraih. i seriously dont get it. i really want to run away and im sure i wont be missed by the collectivist hive. wtf happened to my country ?

It's why we stay at our wisconsin vacation home: I can go to the beach, put my boat and jet ski in the water, put our kayaks in Lake Michigan beaches and our gps recorded over 600 miles May June July so far on the Kenosha/ racine lakefront and inland bike trails. Neither of us have covid, neither of us are dead, we are just fine, thank you. Carthage college sports teams outside practicing, Kenosha beaches literally packed with illinois residents (parking is a bitch) (I ride my bike, no problem)

Come to NYC!

Broadway is, uhh? Shuttered until next year.
The Movie Theatres are closed, or running the greatest hits from the 1990's.
NYC has the finest dining restaurants, too bad they are all closed.

At least you can still window shop, and see the finest exterior grade plywood in the North East!

Cuomo the Lesser has realized that if he doesn't open the schools, the rich are going to stay out of NYC, and send their kids to the local AND open schools. Once they change schools, there is NO reason for their families to return to NYC this entire school year. And after they see that maybe living in the benighted provinces with all those knuckle dragging provincials is not the end of the world, in fact life outside NYC is pretty damned good.

The problem with the statement of this is what you get when you vote for democrats is indeed true. However, in Chicago there is no choice. As we saw in the mayor's race it was a choice between Dumb and Dumber. Democrats have controlled Chicago since the 1930's and that isn't going to end anytime soon.

Lightfoot has been nothing less than a disaster, unfortunately the city is stuck with her for another three years or so.

Will be interesting to see if anything remains in the city besides the leeches the reside on the south and west sides.

I am not hopeful.

If anyone votes for a change in the state constitution regarding income tax, they are fools who believe the lies of Madigan and other democrats. Nothing will change, spending will just go up and the state will not make a dent in debt. Now, they are openly talking about taxing all retirement income as " fair" and a way to pay for pensions debt. I am retired and I live in a nice Chicago suburb and I like it here. But, I can tell you if the state starts to tax my pension I will move to another state, probably Indiana where overall cost of living is lower. Even my wife who has always been against moving too far away, is finally on board with the rising crime and taxes and the inability of the elected officials to manage anything

Yes but imagine a Democrat who actually wanted what was best for the city and respected law enforcement (is there such a thing anymore??). Come the next election that person could actually win. South and West sides??? Look at downtown....will there be anything left there is the question.

Demolish the Chicago Teachers Union NOW!Set an opening date for the public schools and start out by laying off any teacher or worker that is not present and ready to work on day 1.Have them all report to their individual classrooms for the 1st quarter of on line learning and if it continues on line,layoff 60% of them.

New York could be turning Purple and maybe even Red, so Cosmo’ is merely catching up due to recent secret polling. His job is safe until Nov 2022, but Joe D’Mento-Biden is sinking and NYC is fed up with Bozio’s policies who will side with radicals and he’ll ignore any Cosmo’ orders.
The DNC sides with the teachers unions - NOT NY.
The same here in IL. JB Pigster is considered dependable and hopes the favor of ending his ToiletGate investigation will be the reward for keeping Covids Pandemonium going as long as they say.

JB Pigfluenza figured out long ago how to get around Illinois income and real estate taxes, pays even less in Wisconsin and Florida. And that doesn’t include his business enterprises, which we don’t see the tax returns for. Shouldn’t he be taxed for tri-citizenships, maybe one property here in Chicago is his write-off for loss and depreciation, his upcoming IL graduated tax referendum is on the Nov ballot, want to bet he already figured out he’s exempt from this because of his Florida residency.

Went to New York once and had a great time even though it was a little expensive. Did typical tourist stuff like the Empire State building, Central Park carriage ride, a play on Broadway, nice restaurants, etc.

However, no more! We should pay top dollar for a hotel where this scum stays for zip? Shoots up in the halls, pisses on walls and destroys rooms leaving behind who knows what type of disease?

Fuck New York and the asshole governor and mayor.

Our best to NYPD and NYFD.

While I'm sure there are a few, probably very few, good and decent conservative folks that live in these neighborhoods with the hotels for homeless program, you can bet the majority of the residents are LIBERALS. And how very happy we should all be that they get to REAP WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN with their voting habits. Let's look on the bright side. Maybe they will learn something?

– Affirmative!
Show up or else. I’m sure there’s thousands of teachers in Venezuela that could be imported by H1-B-visa to fill the vacancies in CPS that would gladly work for even $15 hr with benefits and what the heck, throw in a path to citizenship to boot. Thousands.

Me thinks CTU is aware of executive orders and August 5, 1981 firing of 11,359 air-traffic controllers striking in violation of an order for them to return to work.
Nationalize the teachers like FAA ? Also possible.

MAGA or Die.

i also have a beach place in wisconsin. beaches are packed, bars are all open. life goes on as normal. weasel fruity little governor tries to scream the sky is falling, republican congress tells him, um no, go back to sleep. last i checked 9 cases in the whole county. of course up there they didnt get the memo to make every death a covid death to make orange man look bad. blue collar americans actually want to get back to work, unlike our welfare hoards and suszie snowflakes who think d.c. owes them a living,for ever. after 70 years in this shithole i wonder why im still here, even part time. the public has been played by evil dictators for so long, that illinois citizens, like the east germans of yore, think that living like this is normal. its not normal, not for america. it was a good run but illinois done. leave it for the manbuns and the welfare rats and their political over lords. sure to look like somalia in a few years. maybe omar can run for mayor after larry gets institutionalized.
