Love the NY Post coverage. Anytime there’s a situation in which people who need to be helped are actually being helped it’s always a matter of money. And they’ll always be there to make sure you know how much it costs. Riles up that indignation. How much?. “I don’t want my tax dollars going to those people.”

They’re in business to divide and conquer the 99%. With stories just like these.

Notice there’s never a story calling into focus the obscene budget of the NYPD. Or the fact that the CEO of energy monopoly Con Ed takes in over $10million a year (for what?). Or that the NY Public Library has their “budget” constrained constantly while the high crimes of the financial looters go on pillaging without pause? Or that some scumbag Wall St hedge fund guy will make in a week what most people here on Reddit won’t see in a year.

But yeah. Let’s just keep beating up on the needy, the poor, the maligned and marginalized. The good ole American Way. Or more likely according to the truth, as Lou Reed put it, “Give me your poor and tired, I’ll piss in them. That’s what the Statue of Bigotry says.”

I’m not saying that anytime one of these “deals” are made there isn’t the hint of corruption present.

But be careful. If you’re really concerned about corruption the NY Post, the ultimate propaganda mouthpiece of the ruling elite and the cops, is gonna misdirect you every time.

Practically everything they print is for the purpose of keeping you in Fear. So that you’re more easily manipulated and subsumed under their control. They choose an angle for a story that, instead of eliciting focused indignation for an economic system that is a failure in providing a safeguard for people who genuinely need it, makes you turn your indignation to the people themselves.
