Rant #3,248: Another Rainy Day In New York City

Not really, but it might as well have been raining yesterday.

More about that later.

As for me ...

I am doing pretty well, considering what I have been through.

I went for physical therapy yesterday, and they ere quite pleased as to what I could do versus what I can't do.

I will be going three days a week for this series of PT, and hopefully then, after a couple of weeks, I can move on to another level, and then to another.

I know I have a long way to go, but today is the first day of all of this, and while I was quite tired after thos first round, I now have a game plan to success.

And now to other business ...

As I watch New York State Governor Kathy "The Yokel" Hochul gleefully hold a pep rally for congestion pricing--when was the last time this woman ever got into a car and drove it--it simply dawned on me that after many years of being on life support, New York City is officially dead.

It has been on life support for decades, but I do believe it has hit rock bottom as we end 2023 and churn into 2024.

The "Right To Shelter" problem has allowed New York City to become the nation's cesspool for every supposed asylum seeker who wants to come here.

And these illegal aliens have actually been empowered by certain groups to make demands as if they are citizens and actually belong here.

ThIs, in turn, has put the final dagger into, among other things, the New York City school system, which is now forced to teach thousands of students who cannot speak a word of English.

And this once great school system cannot control.its students, who take over schools and commit anti-social acts, including those professing allegiance with terrorist causes, without punishment.

And then you have congestion pricing, which will keep thousands of visitors from Long Island, Wesrltchester, New Jersey and elsewhere from coming into Manhattan, and for those that do, it will cost them a ridiculous amount to come into the Big Apple.

There is no grace on those who absolutely need to drive in, like truckers and cab drivers, and you just know that their prices will go up exponentially, and these extra costs will be passed down to the general public, which will put many local businesses out of business.

This once great city has finally died, and as someone who grew up in Queens, I do mourn its passing ... and applaud my parents, who got us out of there more than 50 years ago when the city was only on life support.

I feel terrible for the good people who live in New York City, who have had to weather horrid leadership for st least since the 1960s, and it has taken all of this time to finally break this once great city into pieces.

So sorry that it had to come to this.

i feel better, New York City is dead, and 2023 is just about over.

Good riddance.
