Unions demand lower wages for American workers. I'd ask for a refund of my dues if I was in one
Nothing like the hive mind and mindless virtue signaling. Send a bus of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard and the hive mind becomes unsettled. NYC is buckling over trying to accommodate several thousand illegals that they once couldn't wait to welcome with open arms. Now it's the Republican's fault.
HOW IT STARTED: Next mayor wants NYC to be even more of a ‘sanctuary’ for illegal immigrants.
Every single one of the eight Democrats running for mayor vowed to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, solidifying the Big Apple’s often infamous status as a “sanctuary city.”
* * * * * * * *
Entrepreneur Andrew Yang, the son of legal Taiwanese immigrants, said, “I appreciate anyone who comes to this country or New York City for a better life.”
And Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said migrants were his neighbors growing up in Queens.
“My mother worked two jobs to provide for the six of us and we had a group of undocumented residents that lived in our community,” Adams said.
The other candidates — city comptroller Scott Stringer, former Obama housing secretary Shaun Donovan and nonprofit leader Dianne Morales — also voiced their support for the Big Apple as a sanctuary city.
—The New York Post, June 2nd, 2021.
How it’s going: Adams plays race card, accuses Abbott of hurting ‘Black-run cities’ with migrant buses.
—The New York Post, yesterday.
This isn’t who we are. Adams clearly needs to reread the words on the Statue of Liberty — and his own promise that New York is a sanctuary city.
Earlier: Sanctuary Cities Seethe as Illegal Immigrants Actually Arrive.
The surest sign that public policies are simply virtue signals is when the messages don’t cost anything. The easiest way to tell when that signal starts to fail is to watch politicians flounder as the costs start to rise and voters demand relief.
It was free—and meaningless—for progressive churches to post banners calling themselves “nuclear free zones” during the Reagan era. Their dwindling congregations loved it. It was free, after George Floyd‘s murder, to post woke catechism signs on your front lawn, proclaiming “In this house, we believe: Black Lives Matter, women’s rights are human rights, no human is illegal” and so on. Maybe the neighbors gave you high-fives. And for years it has been free for deep-blue cities to proclaim themselves “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants. That’s changing now that voters want some sanctuary for themselves.
Changes like this happen when voters realize the old virtue signals actually entail serious costs—and that they will have to pay them. That is exactly what’s happening in New York City and Washington D.C. now that Texas governor Greg Abbott is sending those cities a few busloads of illegal immigrants from his state.
These progressive bastions were silent when the Biden administration flew planeloads of illegal immigrants to suburban airports in the middle of the night. TV coverage was prohibited, and the arrivals were secretly dispersed. Abbott’s buses, by contrast, arrive downtown greeted by local TV crews. Now you can hear the politicians screech.
Go figure. Decrease criminal penalties, have a Soros DA who refuses to prosecute theft or undercharges combined with no cash bail and no follow up on parole violations and you get skyrocketing car theft and crippling shop lifting. Then all of a sudden, it's a problem needing some band aid solutions. DA and Mayor Ted NOW figure out that something needs to be done. No one yet, however, says they need to be put in jail and stay there.
Daughter just lost her first job out of college down in socal as the company (large) is going out of business. But the Pedophile in Chief says this is the strongest economy ever. Mello loves this shit because his dumb ass works for the tyranny destroying this cuntry.

At least around here, car thefts and chop shops are a Russian business.

The professionals aren't getting caught five or six times. It's the amateurs who jack cars for kicks and then drive around above the speed limit and get caught.
More good news for the average American. Car prices have skyrocketed since the dementia patient took over and implemented his wonderful economic policies. The new CAFE gasoline mileage standards are going to really jack up the price of a full size car or truck. ==== https://instapundit.com/
STICKER SHOCK: There are only 3 new cars priced under $20,000 now.
The average price paid for a new vehicle was $48,008 in March, according to Kelley Blue Book, a drop of $550 from the prior month.
“We’ve been anticipating transaction price declines, as inventory has been steadily improving and choice has expanded. More vehicles on dealer lots — and on their competitors’ lots — means dealers simply don’t have the pricing power they did six months ago,” said Rebecca Rydzewski, Cox Automotive research manager of economic and industry insights.
Prices are expected to continue their downward trend, but are unlikely to reach the $37,736 average they were at in March 2020 anytime soon, if ever again.
Last month: Biden Administration Announces Ambitious Final CAFE Standards.
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced final Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, which will improve gas mileage for new passenger vehicles sold in the United States between now and 2026.
The new standards require a 49 mpg fleetwide average by 2026, a 33% increase over model year 2021 standards.
Lose the your core blue collar customer numbering in the millions in exchange for the tranny light beer drinkers. A pretty fickle mentally deranged group or so I've heard.
The replies are illuminating. Nordstrom is lying. They closed stores in Canada. SF isn't rotten. A few brave souls saying - uh Nordstrom is opening 5 stores in California and SF really does suck
