Go woke, go broke! San Francisco mayor warns crime-ridden city now faces a $728m budget deficit
Story by Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com • Yesterday 12:42 PM
 

San Francisco's mayor is asking municipal departments to find significant savings as the embattled city braces for a $728 million budget deficit, predicted for the next two fiscal years.

With some of the lowest office occupancy rates in the country, thanks to the tech companies that make the city's lifeblood retreating to remote work, San Francisco has seen residents move to the suburbs - pushed also by rising crime.

The city's income from property taxes and office rates has plummeted, causing sleepless nights in City Hall.

London Breed, the mayor, on Thursday asked municipal departments to identify ways to reduce costs by 5 percent in the next fiscal year and by 8 percent in the year after that.

'We know the challenges facing San Francisco are significant, and we have a lot of work ahead of us to maintain the city's recovery efforts,' Breed said in a statement.

'As we work to close this deficit, it will require tough choices and real tradeoffs.'

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

It isn't going to happen.  There are already too many piglets for the sow to feed.  Plus, being good lefties, they will sue to keep the milk and honey flowing. :pigs fly:

We are rapidly nearing the time of the separation of sheep and goats. My sympathy for the pain that these continued kind of decisions cause is getting less and less and less.

You did this to yourselves. Sit down, shut up, and eat the crap sandwich that you made yourself for lunch, and deal with it till you change your ways.

Will the US end up as a goat nation?

Hoodat wonders:
"Will the US end up as a goat nation?"

And Vulcan ponders:
"Or maybe not as a nation at all."

That's why it's time to start thinking about how a new nation could be forged from the core of the old one.

Hence, my call for a New Continental Congress to examine the possibilities...

(San Francisco would NOT be included in such a Congress, nor in the new Union)

Problem is I don't know if we could control the outcome.

Everything will resolve itself. We now have roving gangs of Black people killing other Black people. They will eventually wear each other out.

I'm thinking about the Mafia. The biggest problem with random attacks is that you never really know who you are f**king with. These guys will all eventually kill each other off, or someone will do it for them.

No bail? No jail time? That is fine with me. I like it

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

America is not as 'snowflaky' as the street thugs seem to think we are.
Go ahead and mug a 70 year old woman in NY, you creep.
But if you come around my town, things will take a different turn.

Always a good reminder. It's not the Republican controlled jurisdictions that have a consistent pattern of uncontrolled crime.

How could the Colonists know what "the outcome" of their first Continental Congress in 1775 was going to be?

From what I've read, the original CC was convened with the intent of working out the Colonists' disagreements with Britain (and perhaps believing that they would remain "colonists").

But then, events progressed and attitudes changed.

I dare say that what they eventually ended up with -- defeating Britain and establishing a new nation -- wasn't that much "in their minds" when they first got together.

So... to answer your doubts...

We may be able to control "the outcome"... or we may not.
We may not even know what that outcome will be.

But... if we don't try... we certainly DO KNOW what the outcome is going to be:
A new communist America in which The Party will do everything in its power to crush whatever freedoms remain in the red states.

Which future do you choose?

But then they didn't have to deal with radical atheist statists trying to turn things into the globalist Marxist 'utopia'.

Conservatives can't outmaneuver these guys now, much less if we get there.

As quickly as the ILLEGALS are pouring in and the mass exodus from blue states, there aren't going to be many red states left. The future of or a chance for a CC is looking pretty bleak. How many ILLEGALS will be on board?? Doubtful any.  They aren't assimilating now, what makes you think that they'd assimilate to a new Congress? I just don't see a clear path to success and then there's also the issue of leadership and the resistance of the current Congress. All things considered, things could get very ugly.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

The First Continental Congress was made up of Delegates who represented each specific colony (or state).  No such representation exist with our current Congress.

It was just this type of urban decay and dystopia that gave rise to 1970s cinematic anti-heroes.
