Let New York Suffer
Derek Hunter
I used to love New York City. You could go there and walk around, unmolested, and enjoy the sights and sounds the city had to offer. Now, the aroma of urine and weed permeates the streets like a poorly ventilated cigar bar on its busiest night.
There is no real punishment for crimes short of murder. Walk into a Duane Reade, a pharmacy and convenience store chain owned by Walgreens up there, and you will see less security than in a bank. As leftists insist, “People need to steal to feed their families,” you can’t help but notice that the only items NOT locked up behind Plexiglas ARE the food. All the make-up, cleaning products, detergents, hair dyes, etc., require a button to be pushed to summon (eventually) an associate with a key to liberate the things you want to purchase…and take them to the front counter, where they will sit until you pay (because people can’t be trusted to carry products around the store).
But food – everything from pre-made sandwiches to canned soup – sits free for the taking by the “starving masses” who don’t exist. How can the food be safe from people suffering “food insecurity”?
That’s because “food insecurity” is a lie; a myth created to justify bad actions and worse policies. Poor Americans are more likely to die from type 2 diabetes than from malnutrition. In fact, all the cases of malnutrition I’ve ever heard of in the United States were the result of malicious actions by evil people, not neglect.
