NYC Regrets
So after electing a islamic-socialist mayor who promised to de-fund police, pay for government run grocery stores and raise taxes along with all sorts of other crap, regular New York citizens are realizing how badly they screwed the pooch.
- he is proposing to make the speed camera zones around schools active 24/7/365....when kids aren't even there and schools aren't even open;
- the speed limit will be knocked down to 15 MPH
A money grab pure and simple to fund his impossible budget....and it's going to tag the common folks more than any millionaire or billionaire. And that has reduced the governor to begging for wealthy people to come back to New York so that they can pay fines there:
Gov. Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy New Yorkers who fled the city to encourage their rich pals to come back and continue padding the Empire State’s lavish public handouts.
Hochul made the case against caving to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s demands that she hike income taxes — by saying she not only wants fat cats to stay in the city, but also by clawing at those who have moved to states with better business climates like Florida.
“Maybe the first step should be to go down to Palm Beach and see who we can bring back home because our tax base has been eroded,” the Democratic governor said at a forum hosted by Politico last week.“I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals,” she said.
Meanwhile, Hollywood "elites" are fleeing California and the multi-millionaire owner of Starbucks is leaving Washington for Florida.
H.L. Mencken said it best:
- Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
Gooder and harder New York (and California and Washington and yes, even Illinois.)

Come on...They'll re-elect him next time....
Voters are stupid ..... That's why they let them vote.
Even for the cyclists?
When the Cone reads about this story he will implement the speed limits here. And you thought traffic couldn’t get any slower. Great money grab, and as Nancy Pelosi would always say, “It’s for the children”!
Economics 101 should fix the problem
You do realize all the ones fleeing are the same ones who funded the current situation right? They'll do the same shit in their new states too, fund "progressive" politicians who end up destroying everything.
I love the pandering to the weak thing begging them to come back to New York.
Democracy is the worst form of government, until you compare it to all other forms of government
Just came back from Florida. Half of the license plates down there are from New York and New Jersey. It's disgusting. The Democrat refugees are ruining Florida (Tennessee and Texas as well).
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for lunch.
Luckily, the United States is a constitutional republic. Not a democracy.
Absolutely right, Voters are complete fucking idiots. Complain about high taxes, High Crime, Poor schools but yet keep voting for the same crap that gets them deeper into another Detroit! Chicago is on par.
By now, all who fled New York are asking themselves "Why didn't I do it sooner?"
even in new york you can't fix STUPID it's forever
Can’t we just all agree that the people of NY are idiots. This mayor told you, point blank, what he was going to do if elected. He didn’t sugarcoat it. He was “transparent” about his socialist ideas. And YOU DUMMIES STILL ELECTED HIM. Every other political candidate in the country never truly tells you their agenda until after they get elected. Even Conehead isn’t as radical as this guy. Politicians talk in generalities. They use buzzwords. Not this guy. He told you flat out what he wanted to do and YOU STILL VOTED FOR HIM. So choke on it NY. You own this one.
speed limits are like getting i/d's,,, it's racist because people of color are not capable of reading those signs
I'm sure all they have to do is ask nicely and they will pack up the Uhaul and turn right around.
Ya gotta be impressed with the speed in which he's destroying New York doing exactly what he said he was gonna do.
The weak have no money and are forced to stay and pay.
Ignoring reality has consequences.
All these billionaires fleeing to Surfside, Florida are certainly gonna have zero problem with “gubmint” handouts after the inevitable next major hurricane.
You wanna live in a disaster zone swamp? Fine. But don’t steal my tax dollars to prop up your McMansion there.
I guess those movies Escape from New York and Escape from LA were not too far off..Maybe Kurt can come back and do Escape from Chicago, but he dies at the end because Chicago is something special under this administration. Kurt would die from a sink hole or something, because its the City that Works!!
He never lied, said what he was going to do and then did it. Maybe he's correct, give him a little time.
Governor Kathy had Peanut the Squirrel killed.
Regrets, they have a few, but then again to few to mention.
And they'll do the same thing to their new home states they did to the ones they fled.
You are exactly right
Stay out of Florida! Florida sucks!! Stay in Illinois, California, and NY!
Only 20% of New Yorkers voted. The poor, illegals masses are much cheaper and easier to manipulate. New York, DC, and LA will be run by the illegal vote until the next civil war.
Gooder and harder New York (and California and Washington and yes, even Illinois.)
And at the ultimate cost of many lives good and bad.
Speed walkers, vehicles for the handicapped and skate boarders.
Communism isn't cheap
Texas is in trouble because of that, but Florida has already taken the stand of "leave your leftist politics at the door, or else turn around and go back to where you came from."
Except we don't have a democracy (which is a polite term for mob rule or majority rule), we have a representative republic.
And claiming it is "patriotic" to allow yourself to be gouged on taxes. Especially when much of the state's tax money is going to fund housing, food and medical care for illegals. Not one of the intrepid "journalists" at that press conference asked about how patriotic it is of Hochul and Mamdami to prioritize illegals over citizens.
Like 80% of the under 40 crowd voted for this disaster. Thank a teacher, free shit is very attractive to the uneducated
When are people going to begin to take the communist menace seriously? These folks are dangerous. They’re the vectors of a national suicide agenda. They hate everyone and everything. It’s time for POTUS to designate communism a religion so it can no longer be taught and glorified in public schools.
NY State and especially NY City voters deserve whatever misery they get. And it's only the beginning of a long four years. They are truly the fool's fool. NYPD stay strong.
Are you fucking nuts?
Democracy is not a form of government, only a method of electing/selecting those who govern.
Our Constitution defines the duties and obligations of those elected/selected to govern.
I do not live in NYC but in a suburb which requires me to pass through the 5 boroughs. The speed limit cameras are every where and set to a whopping 5mph over the limit. Just got my paper in the mail. 26 in a 20. 50$ fine it’s Wild and now being lowered it is absolutely impossible to transverse the boroughs without getting a speed camera ticket, a red light ticket or paying a toll to move.
Thing is NYC and SF/LA have reasons people need to be there -- Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Hollywood -- so they can afford to charge a little more. Nobody needs to be in Chicago.
No different from Chicago.
