Stupid whiny babies

A commenter responds to Hilzoy.

"Going Galt" is the conservative version of "Moving to France." Lots of people talk about it, but no one has the balls to actually do it.


Actually that's not quite right. I've had to suffer far more stupid white liberals threatening to to "Move to Canada" than to France over the years. But the idea is the same. All of these stupid whiny babies seem to have an over-inflated sense of their own value. What? You're going to stop "creating wealth" by lawyering or day-trading or blogging all day? I'm scared. What? You're moving to Canada because you're unhappy with the current (temporary) political mood? Bye. Can't say we'll miss you.

In New Orleans, we have our own version of stupid whiny baby "Going Galt"ism. But here the whiny babies have fallen into the habit of threatening to move away (where? anywhere!) with every new report of public corruption, violent crime, hot weather, etc. New Orleans is not your boyfriend. It won't suddenly change its ways out of fear of losing your eminent talents. But enjoy your fit anyway.
