George Floyd (II): Say His Name

[Kaslo]

the show/movie was popular because life is exactly like that for many people

i know it doesnt quite compare to looking out your window and seeing a target burning down or a toddler getting shot in a drive by but i found it to be alright

Maybe when you look back on it many years later.

[Lokus]

I wouldn't consider relatives "something to do," but to each their own. Maybe in Alabama.

Cuomo begs wealthy New Yorkers to come back to save the city and pleads 'I'll buy you a drink!' as he fights off calls to raise their taxes - which he fears may scare them away forever
Cuomo said on Tuesday that he speaks to the city's wealthiest residents 'every day', begging them to come back
Many fled for the Hamptons, upstate New York or Connecticut when the pandemic hit
In May, at least 420,000 of the city's wealthiest residents had fled the city
Their exodus was cemented when riots and looting tore through the city in June
Now, there are calls for higher taxes on the super wealthy to offset the projected $30billion deficit New York is facing over the next two years
Cuomo is resisting it, saying it will only drive the billionaires out of the city for good
He is furious that there remains no national plan to tackle COVID-19, and says the ongoing catastrophe in other states is holding New York back
Crime is up in New York City with a shocking 286% in robberies on the Upper East Side alone

The pandemic hurt NYC badly, but alot of the rich people leave town right now anyway. Have you been to New York in August? Its fucking hot. LOL at trying to make this about taxes and riots though

Like at least 75% of the upper middle/upper class kids from "Christian" families down here were/are on pills. Half my middle school church league basketball team is dead from drugs. Their parents also forcibly pushed my mom/grandparents out of the voting congregation because they weren't rich enough.

Very wholesome Christlike people for sure. My family still wonders why I detest the church.

"Rural" southern town life is great as a kid until high school. Then it just turns into clique lifestyle, drugs, and getting arrested.

You are all making me appreciate growing up in Madison more and more.

I grew up in a nice, relatively wealthy pre-war town of about 20k, right off a major commuter line into the city. It fucking sucked growing up with hardly anything to do except congregate at the park. Visiting as an adult I love the place, but I totally get why heavy drugs were rampant in my high-school (with at least one notable OD death during my 4 years).

yes?
