Kurt Schlichter at Townhall.com has an article today entitled Chaos Is A Choice, using as an example the recent cleanup of San Fransico. But, the cleanup was not done for the taxpayers in SF, nor the convenience of the businesses downtown. It was not done, in other words, for the normal people. No, it was done because a Commie dictator was flying in.
Well, California’s rulers finally decided to clean up the junkie-strewn and poop-positive streets of San Francisco. But, of course, they didn’t do that because foul boulevards and medieval subways are a problem for normal people. California’s rulers did it because China’s Winnie-the-Pooh-looking dictator Xi is coming to town. You would think that the people of San Francisco would be insulted, but they’re not. Maybe they are into the city’s weird S&M scene on the masochist side, since they keep electing the people who force them to dwell in squalor. With basically a wave of a wand, and a bunch of cops with some support, their leaders cleared out the street vermin infesting the City-by-the-Bay overnight. They would do that for some commie potentate, but not for the people of San Francisco.
Note that the homeless and the drug addicted who sleep on the streets, and defecate wherever they please do not vote. You would think that the people who pay taxes to have clean and safe streets, in other words the voters would have voted the ruling class garbage out with the bums. But they haven't. Which goes to show that the chaos is a choice, and that the voters apparently like it that way.
What this all goes to show is that this chaos is a choice. It doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t have to have mayors who make excuses for the social pathologies that ruin it for everybody else. You don’t have to tie the hands of the cops. You don’t have to have DAs who refuse to charge criminals with crimes, but who will charge citizens protecting other citizens from the criminals who should have been charged but weren’t. You can stand up and say, “No.” No to crime. No to trash. No to hobos. No, no, no.
But they don’t. And they won’t. They won’t because their own blue voters don’t matter to them. The weird thing is that the blue voters don’t seem to care. They keep reelecting the same people with the same failed policies over and over just because the candidates have a “D” after their names on the ballot. At some point, you have to assume that the voters are pretty happy with the chaos because they are choosing it. It’s kind of weird to allow yourself to be treated with such contempt by people who depend on you for a job. Why do they allow it? Is it to get a virtue signal tingle when they refuse to support putting the hammer down on people upon whom the hammer would come down in any civilized society?
As shown by the San Fran ruling elite, it really isn't that hard. The city already has a police department, a sanitation department, and if needed a fire department. Just spin those puppies up and set them to work. It can be done in a day. They proved it, but they just don't want to. So, the people suffer in the stink, or they move away to someplace where the government provides the services the taxpayer is paying for.
Go read Schlichter's article and if your own government decides to let a bunch of bums live on the streets of your community and dump sewage into your streets, threaten people going about their business and generally making themselves unwelcome, please point to San Fransico and tell them it can be cleaned up in a day. But if pandemonium is what they want, far be it from me to stand in their way.
