One of my favorite thinkers - he has a good essay on why New York City will not recover from the self-imposed bad management and Wuhan Flu lockdown. From LinkedIn:
NYC IS DEAD FOREVER. HERE'S WHY
I love NYC. When I first moved to NYC it was a dream come true. Every corner was like a theater production happening right in front of me. So much personality, so many stories.
Every subculture I loved was in NYC. I could play chess all day and night. I could go to comedy clubs. I could start any type of business. I could meet people. I had family, friends, opportunities. No matter what happened to me, NYC was a net I could fall back on and bounce back up.
Now it's completely dead. "But NYC always always bounces back." No. Not this time. "But NYC is the center of the financial universe. Opportunities will flourish here again." Not this time.
"NYC has experienced worse". No it hasn't.
A Facebook group formed a few weeks ago that was for people who were planning a move and wanted others to talk to and ask advice from. Within two or three days it had about 10,000 members.
Some really trenchent observations - this is what socialism and bad management looks like. Let this serve as a warning. I doubt it will make the marxists STFU like it should - they will just whinge and say but it wasn't really tried properly
