Bill de Blasio: 'Fair-weather friends' who fled NYC 'will be replaced'
 ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...broke with Gov. Andrew SonnyCuomo  on trying to lure wealthy New Yorkers back to the city, saying he’s confident that "fair-weather" residents will be replaced by others."There’s been an uptick in crime, but it is a problem directly related to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... ," Mr. de Blasio said at a press briefing Thursday. "I think you’ll see a certain number of people who leave and after an appropriate time, after there’s a vaccine, will come back. I think you’ll see some people who maybe decide they want a different kind of lifestyle. I think a lot of those people will be replaced by other people coming in. "For decades now, as people have left New York City they’ve been replaced, and then some, by more and more people coming in. So, I think that pattern will start again over the next couple of years," he said. The mayor’s comments came after the governor revealed he was personally pleading with rich New Yorkers to return to their homes in Manhattan. "I literally talk to people all day long who are now in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house, or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, ’You got to come back! When you coming back? We’ll go to dinner! I’ll buy you a drink! Come over, I’ll cook!’" Mr. Cuomo said. Mr. de Blasio and Democratic state politicians want to raise taxes on the wealthy to help offset the state’s $30 billion coronavirus-related deficit, but Mr. Cuomo claimed that could cause the wealthy residents who fled to never return. Mr. de Blasio said he isn’t interested in making "decisions based on the wealthy few." "I was troubled to hear this concept that because wealthy people have a set of concerns about the city that we should accommodate them, that we should build our policies and approaches around them," he said. "That’s not how it works around here anymore. This city is for New Yorkers. This city is for people who live here, work here, fight to make this place better, fight through this crisis. So, there’s a lot of New Yorkers who are wealthy, who are true believers in New York City and will stand and fight with us. And there are some who may be fair-weather friends, but they will be replaced by others. But we must build our policies around working people.” Related: Bill de Blasio: 2020-08-06 De Blasio: ‘What We’re Seeing Here’ with Isaias ‘Is the Result of Global Warming’ Bill de Blasio: 2020-08-05 NYC Health Commissioner Resigns with ‘Deep Disappointment’ after Clashing with De Blasio Bill de Blasio: 2020-08-04 De Blasio: Painting BLM Murals My Decision That ‘Transcends All Normal Realities’ Related: Andrew Cuomo: 2020-08-11 Cuomo rejects independent investigation of nursing home coronavirus deaths as political Andrew Cuomo: 2020-08-07 Good afternoon Andrew Cuomo: 2020-08-07 Over 80,000 mail-in ballots disqualified in NYC primary mess Related: Fair-weather friends: 2017-09-27 NFL Pigskins at the Public Trough Fair-weather friends: 2004-09-29 SF Chroinicle Bitch-Slaps Kerry and the Dems Fair-weather friends: 2003-11-17 Behind the Deception Posted by: Fred 2020-08-13 |
