I think there\u2019s some there\u2019s some sections in LA, I don\u2019t know how the f**k they\u2019re gonna bounce back. You drive down the street and you see everything boarded up. You go, \u2018How does this come back? How long does it take?\u201d Rogan <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/6uCmb5wbprKYnpGwtktjgd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\">said. <\/a>\u201cA lot of people are moving out. People are moving out. You get the sense like it\u2019s an abandoned ship, like it\u2019s a sinking ship. And then people don\u2019t want to invest money in it. They don\u2019t know what to do. They\u2019re not sure if they should stay. They start looking at other states where things are open, \u2018Maybe we should just move. Maybe we should forget about this business and start fresh in Florida or move to Texas or whatever.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dave Chappelle, a D.C.-born stage star who now lives in Ohio, replied: \u201cI can\u2019t imagine New York City not coming back from this. \u2026 It\u2019ll be a new normal, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dave Chappelle said that COVID \u201cpunched us square in our American identity\u201d as individualists and that Americans no longer trust the governing institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the core of all of this \u2014 what you call \u2018weirdness\u2019 \u2014 is these profound trust issues,\u201d he said. \u201cThese people that hoarded toilet paper and went and bought bullets out. None of these things are good signs. I think that something about the nature of COVID punched us square in our American identity. We\u2019re individualists. The mask and all these things \u2014 I don\u2019t think are actually oppressive \u2014 but I can see why Americans would feel they are, because they\u00a0don\u2019t trust the messenger, anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be able to trust the institution. So now you\u2019ll hear Americans say shit like, \u2018They should fix this. They should fix that,\u2019 but in reality the idea is we are they, and nobody feels that way,\u201d Chappelle said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/nyc-dead-forever-heres-why-james-altucher\/?src=aff-lilpar&#038;veh=aff_src.aff-lilpar_c.partners_pkw.10078_plc.Skimbit%20Ltd._pcrid.449670_learning&#038;trk=aff_src.aff-lilpar_c.partners_pkw.10078_plc.Skimbit%20Ltd._pcrid.449670_learning&#038;clickid=TBmVrsXEZxyOTphwUx0Mo3YmUkiQMRXoKQvT3Q0&#038;irgwc=1\">blog post<\/a> from former hedge fund manager and comedy club owner James Altucher declaring that \u201cNYC Is Dead Forever\u201d went viral, prompting severe backlash from die-hard New Yorkers like Jerry Seinfeld. Altucher\u2019s biggest argument for the death of New York is the arrival of competent and steady bandwidth allowing for people to work remotely from anywhere in the country that they chose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2008, average bandwidth speeds were 3 megabits per second. That\u2019s not enough for a Zoom meeting with reliable video quality. Now, it\u2019s over 20 megabits per second. That\u2019s more than enough for high-quality video,\u201d argued Altucher. \u201cThere\u2019s a before and after. BEFORE: no remote work. AFTER: everyone can remote work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difference: bandwidth got faster. And that\u2019s basically it,\u201d he continued. \u201cPeople have left New York City and have moved completely into virtual worlds. The Time Life building doesn\u2019t need to fill up again. Wall Street can now stretch across every street instead of just being one building in Manhattan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/barstool-sports-founder-david-portnoy-politicians-are-stealing-the-basic-right-to-earn-a-living\">has also been sounding the alarm<\/a> about the potential death of New York City due to the lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/barstool-sports-founder-david-portnoy-politicians-are-stealing-the-basic-right-to-earn-a-living\">Barstool Sports Founder David Portnoy: \u2018Politicians Are Stealing The Basic Right To Earn A\u00a0Living\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
