New York never fails to amuse me. We are all familiar with Saturday Night Live, an NBC production that, in its early years and with its original stellar cast, was the comedic highlight of the week as it came to us "live from New York." Even if its laugh-provoking talent has diminished since the days of John Belushi and Gilda Radner, it can still produce at least an occasional chuckle from this fossilized cynic. Additionally, the comedy routines of the Cuomo brothers, much like the brothers Marx, have me in stitches when I view them. But lately, both the city and state of New York have outdone themselves in providing smiles for citizens outside their borders.
It is widely believed and statistically demonstrated that New Yorkers live in a generous welfare state. Full benefits in New York can garner a welfare recipient the pre-tax amount of $43,700 annually, or an hourly rate of $21.01. At the same time, a Floridian in similar circumstances would receive $12,600, or $6.06 per hour. If you think that benefits in the sums available to New Yorkers are not a disincentive to being employed, you are delusional. ...........
The best comedy writers in the world could not have come up with this. Thugs, intent on burning and looting, were found to be more sympathetic and deserving to the courts of New York than the victims of their mayhem. It seems that crime does pay, at least in New York. I wonder if the Cuomos get a cut. Or Tony "masked man" Fauci. I guess I should be ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing), and I would be if I weren't SDD (so damned disgusted). ...............To Read More....
My Take - More on this in Daniel Greenfield's article, BLM Rioters Get $6M Because Cops Didn’t Wear Face Masks.
