Perhaps the cuntiest opinion piece I’ve ever read

YellowSnow

Cities will be better off with less rich people. Don’t worry about the collapsing tax base because the federal government can plug that hole.

The main thing that the vid has gone is ruin worthless HR and boomer middle managers

It's pushed people to adopt stuff. I believe ultimately it's a good thing

Actually there were some things I was sympathetic to in this article because I don’t like it how (to use Seattle as an example), you have to be pulling down six figures at a tech job to afford a nice home. Cities are more interesting, vibrant, and healthier when, as the author says, it’s a “quilt” of different groups and people.

But yeah, as @YellowSnow says, the cuntiness dial then got cranked to 11 toward the end of the piece:

“...City bud­gets can be res­cued by the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment. Indeed, mon­ey to bail out city and state gov­ern­ments, to pre­vent the cut­ting of ser­vices out­lined above, appears to be one of the main stick­ing points in the cur­rent stalled nego­ti­a­tions between Democ­rats and Repub­li­cans on a new Covid res­cue pack­age...”

NO. Fuck no. The federal government’s job is to not to bail out mismanaged cities.

Besides the tax base Yella mentioned, the rich folks and businesses also pump a lot of money into charities, community events, libraries, museums...things that benefit everyone in the community. You definitely don’t want them disappearing.

doogie
