An old tweet from me saying, "You can't convince me that this is not a parody account." It's in response to these two tweets from Nick Adams: 1. "I've crunched the numbers and I think it's clear, Trump rallies provide more economic benefit to a city than the Super Bowl." 2. "Tom Brady is retiring from his marriage to spend more time with the game of football. Tom has always been married to the game and this divorce just proves it. That's why he will always be the GOAT."
Goetz understood this disorder not as the product of scant civic resources or state retreat but rather as the result of liberal misrule—do-gooder bureaucrats, failed social programs, and a city that had coddled the undeserving and the criminal. He had long since concluded that ordinary men like him would just have to look out for themselves.

Doonesbury cartoon: DUKE: Tell me, Honey, since you're the only translator in China who can still understand the chairman, how faithfully do you actually carry out his wishes? HONEY: Well, sir, he changes his mind a lot, and although his word is absolute law, I have to account for that. HONEY: For instance, last Monday he told me to have the Great Wall torn down, since it's a symbol of ancient tyranny. I reported that all 1,500 miles had been dismantled. HONEY: Then on Thursday he told me he had had second thoughts, and that he wanted the wall rebuilt at once. HONEY: Friday night, I told him that I had personally directed the mobilization of 20 million workers, and that the wall had been restored to its former condition. HONEY: Actually, I spent the whole week watching TV, but he thinks I'm a genius. DUKE: In a way, you are, Honey.
