What I want to know is why are the idiots still running all those electronic billboards if no one is there to watch?  Complete waste of electricity it seems.

I’m surprised no one has commented on this. Doesn’t it look like some kind of apocalyptic movie, or a scene from “Life Without People?”

It reminds me of this old Arby's commercial.  Classic.


If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

This is a socialist's dream world.  Everyone is locked up in their quarters, living in fear, waiting for the next edict from the all-powerful government to tell them that it is safe to come out into public.  Only the "approved" businesses are allowed to engage in commerce, the rest must endure the hardships imposed by a largely arbitrary shutdown.

No wonder Cuomo seems so ecstatic as he feigns righteous indignation at those who might question whether it is sensible to shut down the greatest city in the world to prevent hospital overcrowding.  But wait. The draconian measures did not prevent hospital overcrowding. Now New York must deal with BOTH hospital overcrowding and the subsequent increases in drug dependency, mental illness, suicides, homelessness and other consequences of the draconian and ill-conceived policy.

When will this madness stop?

Is that a very young Steve Martin?

Also, come to think of it it reminds me of the episode “Time Enough at Last” in the Twilight Zone. The one where Burgess Meredith breaks his glasses?

Well, that is unreal. Do they have a curfew on? I saw two cops who looked like they were wrestling with someone away from their units....and one guy standing in the middle of it all.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
