Policy has destroyed the heart of New York City. Watch this two minute drive through Manhattan August 7th 2020. Apart from St Patrick's Cathedral which has no windows, almost every store great and small is boarded up. Dead Man Walking.

"My favorite restaurant is closed for good. OK, let’s go to my second favorite. Closed for good. Third favorite, closed for good." And this quote: "Another friend of mine works at a major investment bank as a managing director. Before the pandemic, he was at the office every day, sometimes working from 6 a.m.–10 p.m. Now he lives in Phoenix, Arizona. “As of June,” he told me, “I had never even been to Phoenix.” And then he moved there. He does all his meetings on Zoom. "
