There's got to be a morning after?

 My apologies to Maureen McGovern for citing the song from the Poseidon Adventure but it fits the day after an election that a few places had yesterday. The results were expected but you still have to hold out hope for a return of basic intelligence. It didn't happen.

Does yesterday's election and the results prove anything? Yes, it proves that people are stupid. It also establishes the need for voter ID and probably even returning to literacy tests for voters. 

In the interest of full disclosure, which I really don't care about, I have never been to New York. To be honest, I have never even wanted to go to New York. Working for the Waffle House in Florida, I met and experienced enough New Yorkers to know that I didn't want to go there. 

Here's everything you need to know about New Yorkers. At the Waffle House in Tampa in 1973, we had a waitress who was from Pennsylvania. Her name was Grace Swank. One night, some customer was giving her a hard time about something he was trying to order. She told him, "You don't have to be rude!" He responded, "I'm not rude, I am from New York." Another Yankee pearl of wisdom. Whenever I hear Chuck Schumer speak, I wonder if he was that guy.

In New York City, the traffic jams on I-95 heading south are already starting this morning. There's no need to wait for the collapse of civilization to get out of Dodge or New York City. Yes, the city that never sleeps is obviously in some kind of stupidity induced coma. It's too late to stage an intervention, they are going to need to work through those twelve steps for themselves.

After 250 years of freedom, New Yorkers have decided to give Communism a spin. Don't waste your time telling me that it is Democratic Socialism and not Communism. At the danger of paraphrasing a Shakespeare quote, " A Turd by any other name would smell as foul." You can call it anything you want, it is still Communism.

How stupid are Yankees? As a student of the American Civil War, this is a question that I have spent my entire life getting ready to answer. "I love stupid people" is a recurring theme over the last twenty years that I have spent scrawling out these pearls of wisdom. So, here are a few starting points to consider.

Mamdani has exactly zero experience in management. At the age of 34, he has never held a real job. There are claims that he had a brief, but failed career as a rapper. He was elected to the New York state legislature where he failed to vote more than 75% of the time. A guy who can't get hired as a clerk at the Dollar Tree is about to become the Mayor of America's largest city. What could possibly go wrong?

As a politician, Mamdani realizes the appeal of "free shit" to the masses. What he hasn't figured out is how to pay for the afore mentioned "free shit." I guess this may turn out to be the best example of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" that we have ever seen. Mamdani may try to charge people a tax to leave New York City.

What are the "free busses" going to look like? Nobody is paying to ride, so what's the motivation to provide good service or clean busses? You get what you pay for, and busses will be free.

Mamdani thinks that the police are evil and wants to send social workers out on domestic calls. There is a role for social workers in resolving issues, but to send them to an active incident is going to raise the body count in NYC. "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

Mamdani wants the city to open grocery stores. I am certain that Mamdani has no idea of how thin the profit margins are in the grocery business. Please direct me to any retail business that is operated by the government at a profit. They just don't exist. They won't exist when Mamdani is the mayor either. I want them to open grocery stores just so we can see how the Communists will deal with shoplifters.

What's the best thing about Mamdani? He was born in Uganda, so he can't be legally elected President. But since Obama has offered to mentor him that may not be an obstacle. Obama may be able to help him get another birth certificate or the Dims could amend the Constitution. 

New York City has been the financial center of the United States and maybe the world for the last couple of centuries. That's all about to end. You don't need to go to New York for financial transactions. You can do all of that on your phone or for us old guys, on your computer. Why put up with New York City if you don't have to do that? Broadway shows go on tour and the Yankees and Mets play road games. The Jets and Giants play in New Jersey anyway. There are more New York delis in Miami than we need. Let's move the Statue of Liberty to a more welcoming location which would be almost anywhere but California.

For those of you who insist on doing your financial transactions in person, Texas is getting ready to open a stock exchange there. They are calling it "Y'all street." The Yankee monopoly on financial transactions is ending.

Memo to the last American out of New York: Bring the flag!!
