      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A49       MSGID: 1:342/201 7be400ec       REPLY: 1:120/616 92c9b823       TZUTC: -0700       On 04 Oct 2025, Ron L. said the following...               RL>         RL> Ya, but I'd say there is a very good chance that NYC will 'elect' a        RL> socialist mayor who has already said that he will make everything gov't        RL> owned. We have plenty of history to show how that will end up.        RL>         RL> I think we can say that less than half the people in the city now are        RL> useful people. If that number was larger then they wouldn't have had        RL> the socialist mayors of late either.        RL>         RL> So they are past the point of no return there. Socialism will come in.         RL> Everything will collapse - like it always does under socialism. The        RL> Left will screech because Trump will not fund them. The city will die        RL> and the useful people will come back in and buy it back up for pennies.        RL>               I just sent a message to @Arron and in that I expressed that I think he'll       have some challenges implementing his policies.              People with money are moving from the city and the state... Companies are       doing the same... Why be where the taxes are high and the regulatory burdens       are equally as high.              There are several states with no income tax and less regulations... If the       money moves out there is no money to through around.              So, Like some needed Joe Biden to be in office for 4 years to remind them       about what the Democrats are really about... NYC gets a commie for 4 years.        It'll remind some about the importance of not voting commies in... it'll also       shot the younger crowd that communism doesn't work.              It might also knock some sense into AOC... She's in a bubble and needs to be       woke up.               RL>         RL> But there's not enough people there to get him elected.        RL>               I still love the guy... Never seen someone care so muck for NYC.               RL>         RL> Just like the Socialist Utopia of California.        RL>         RL> If it wasn't for the Deep State in Washington propping them up with our        RL> tax dollars, California would have failed hard long ago.        RL>               California maybe a lost cause.               IB Joe, Pronouns (FJB/LGB)        AKA Joe Schweier       SysOp of 4A 6F 65 73 42 42 53        -=JoesBBS.com=-              ...
