Progressive Utopia

5/30/2023

I started the Rational Prepper segment several months ago with a discussion regarding location. The best way to prep for 'Threats' is to avoid them. Just move somewhere that doesn't have earthquakes, hurricanes or toxic waste dumps. neoterra.us/blog/the-rational-prepper-location-location-location

Over the past 2-3 years, however, it seems that natural disasters are much less concerning than the ongoing $hit$how taking place in Progressive Utopia (aka Democrat run cities).

It is time to evacuate Democrat-run cities. Maybe it's time to get the hell out of Democrat run states. It is time to vote with your feet! Here, is just one example.

Chicago
YAY Chicago! While the Windy City continues its decline into third-world lawlessness, the State deployed 30 'peacekeepers' to patrol the city over Memorial Day weekend. Democrat Governor Pritzker launched the new Citywide Crisis Prevention and Response Unit (CPRU) to "prevent violence and address conflict and crises in the City of Chicago."

Wow, this is part of $240 MILLION in State funding to address (the lack of) public safety in Chicago.

The yellow-vested 'peacekeepers' form a mobile response unit meant to deescalate crime before it starts. We all know how warm-and-cuddly thieves, thugs and violent criminals are so it went about as well as you might expect.

Over the holiday weekend, 60 people were shot and 12 people were murdered. The most people shot in ten years.

The best part... the Clown World part... is that an alleged 'peacekeeper' has been arrested for allegedly participating in an alleged mob attack (and robbery) of a motorist in Little Village.

Who needs police when the State will pay $100/day to gang members and ex-cons to 'keep the peace'?? YAY!

Now you can show your support for enlightened Democrat law (un)enforcement with your very own "Peacekeeper" t-shirt. (Note neoTerra is non-commercial and I do not endorse or make money on any products. I just think HeyJackass is tragically hilarious).

Shots Fired
The Chicago Shotspotter system (which mayoral advisors want to discontinue) is used to detect and triangulate gunshots fired in neighborhoods. In the first four months of this year the system detected 56.323 rounds fired in Chicago neighborhoods!

Chicago (as well as Illinois) has some of the most restrictive (though rarely enforced) gun laws in the entire country. Apparently, when Democrat DAs selectively decide to ignore the gun laws they already have then you get to live (or die) in a third-world war zone.

Conclusion

GTFO Chicago
GTFO Illinois
GTFO any Democrat Progressive Utopia
Stop voting for Democrats

The Book Of Exodus

5/20/2023

0 Comments

The utopian cities of Progressive Urban Socialists (aka Democrats) are literally dissolving before our eyes.

There is an ongoing exodus from Democrat cities to 'Red' states and cities which offer lower taxes, better services and safety.

Of course the population loss is not balanced. In general, the poor cannot afford to relocate. The cities are losing productive middle-class people and retirees.... and they are taking their income, savings and future spending with them. This creates a vicious cycle... loss of economic activity, loss of jobs, loss of restaurants, shops, culture and other amenities that made the cities desirable.

New York City
New York City (with a population of 8.3 million) lost about 468,000 residents (5.3%) in the roughly two year period from April 2020 to July 2022. AND, the exodus continues in 2023.

If this trend continues, NYC will lose at least three congressional seats by the 2030 census.

The IRS estimates a loss of $19.5 BILLION in wealth and future economic activity.

San Francisco
Wow, SF actually had a bigger percentage loss than NYC. It lost 7.5% of its population and the deterioration is getting worse. Commercial real estate in the city is plunging in value due to extreme vacancy.

Last week, an office building in the financial district sold for approximately $67 Million... a $180 Million loss from the original asking price of $250M. The building has been 75% vacant due to the exodus of people/jobs from the city.

Of course there is a ripple effect. The plunge in office workers has led restaurants, stores and other small business to lay off or shut down.

Chicago
I have saved the very best for last. Sweet Home Chicago.

So many people and businesses have left Illinois that April 2023 income tax collections were $1.8 Billion lower than last year! They expect to make up part of this by increasing corporate taxes but still expect that the revenue in 2023 will be $802 Million less than last year. YIKES!

The City of Chicago is in even worse shape than the state overall. An utterly insane budget plan has been proposed by Saqib Bhatti, a member of Mayor Johnson’s transition team. The title of the proposal is disturbing “First We Get The Money”.

This is the kind of racist non-sense I have come to expect from Democrats. Please, don't take my word for it... read the 10-page report for yourself.

Here is a brief summary of a few of the 'high' points:

$12 Billion in new taxes
Reducing the ‘bloated’ police budget. “Chicago must stop criminalizing Black and Brown youth”
Eliminating the Shotspotter project that helps locate shooters in shit (I mean inequitable) neighborhoods.
Create a Chicago Public Bank to fund Chicago bureaucracies.
BEST OF ALL, place all the pension funds under ‘equitable’ management. It will save BILLIONS. This is where the real magic happens.
The new Chicago Public Bank would take over the pension funds so they could be "invested" in Chicago bonds which will grow EXPONENTIALLY.

Let me make this perfectly clear. They will create a "Bank" that has no money. That Bank will loot the various Chicago pension funds and invest those funds in Social Justice projects that have no return. Theft by any other name is still theft.

The very, VERY best part of this scam is that the Chicago pensions funds are actually broke. The City has been short-changing the pension funds for years and the City now owes over $33 Billion to the funds.

I feel a great disturbance coming to The Force.
The sound of 2.6 million toilets all flushing at once.

Voting With Their Feet

It's a dismal rain day and I'm not working on the neoTerra Victory Garden (which reminds me that I owe y'all a progress report).

Today I'm catching up on the collapse of Western civilization.

Domestic Migration - The Book Of Exodus
The exodus from Democrat-run cities and states is accelerating.

The amusing graphic below highlights the flight from the two worst states to the two best states. California lost over 500,000 people between 2020 and 2022... and New York lost even more!

It shows that when voting at the ballot box no longer works people will begin voting with their feet.

The following graphic, which shows domestic migration by county, is even more interesting. It clearly shows that even in states with a massive population influx, the Democrat-run cities are being hollowed-out.

Florida and Texas are prime examples. Although each state has had a massive increase in population, cities like Miami, Houston and Dallas are being drained. There is a similar trend in many other cities like Atlanta, Memphis and Birmingham.

A few states are so badly run (New York, California, Illinois and Louisiana) that even the rural areas are shrinking.

Illegal Migration - Contemporary Colonizers
While the Administration has committed more than $112 BILLION to defending Ukrainian sovereignty it has totally neglected the invasion taking place at our Southern border. It is estimated that there are now more than 15 MILLION illegals residing in the United States. Unfortunately, I can't show their migration patterns because our incompetent government can't keep track of people who don't exist.

To put this in perspective, the 2020 Census (updated for 2022) shows that indigenous people comprise about 1.3% of our total population of roughly 333 Million. In other words, there are about 4.3 Million Native Americans versus 15 Million illegal colonizers. www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/RHI325221

How dare the Progressives refer to my legal immigrant ancestors as 'colonizers' while they allow this travesty to continue!!

Dangerous Times
Unfortunately the Progressive Urban Socialists are like locusts. When they flee the shitholes they created many still cling to their failed Progressive policies.

My hope is that the majority of the folks fleeing Blue territory are decent people fed up with spiraling crime, spiraling taxes and unfair woke agendas. We need more honest, rational people to hold the line.
