Is NYC that fucking stupid?

Yes, yes they are.  Not only did they vote for Alexandria "Donkey Chompers" Ocasio-Chavez, the googly-eyed socialist who's dumber than a sack of wet hammers, they also voted for Bill De Blasio and his communist wife, who just managed to blow away $1.6 billion dollars with no real record of what it was spent on.

How many other big-bucks initiatives are in similar straits is unknowable — mostly because bureaucrats never blow the whistle on themselves and also because Gotham’s formal watchdog, city Comptroller Scott Stringer, is among the most incurious individuals ever to hold the office. 

That the co-mayors could fly under the radar to burn through $1.6 billion to no obvious good effect is an embarrassment — but understandable in the abstract. Things happen. 

That Stringer could sleep through it all is the real scandal; why does the city even have a comptroller, if that’s the standard of performance?

Bill "Blah Blah" De Bolshevik is a hard-core Marxist through and through, so we don't even have to guess as to where the money went - it went into the pockets of his political allies and cronies.  Just like it does in every Marxist government around the world, ever.

Every time I hear anyone on TV or radio try to tell me about how people from NYC are so educated and intelligent, I can only roll my eyes and look at who they elected to represent them.  "Oh, but our financial center of the country is in Wall Street!"  Doesn't have to be.  That's just geography, and it can be moved.  "Oh but the arts and culture!"  HA!  Has anyone been to a museum of art lately?  If you wanted a backdrop for a horror movie, all you need to do is stroll into the Modern Art section and take a look around.  Modern "art", which seems to come from these vaunted urban areas, is a collection of garbage, mental illness, and wasted paint.

Bottom line, I don't want to hear one smug New Yorker trying to brag on about how great their city is.  It's run by "Blah Blah" De Bolshevik, and you have Hugo Chavez's ideological daughter running thousands of jobs away in her first year in office.  Bra-fucking-vo.  Enjoy the homeless people pissing and shitting on your streets, New Yorkers!  It couldn't happen to a nicer toilet of a city.
