And now this fool is doing the same thing to the American people. This should loosen the bowels of every taxpayer out there.

AC was awesome back in the day, better than Vegas in a lot of ways, but now you can gamble all over the place, even on your phone. Originally Posted by JacuzzmeNo you don't.

BREAKING: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is getting absolutely TORCHED online after his administration's emergency snow shoveler signup was exposed — requiring two passport-style photos, two original forms of ID (plus copies), and a Social Security card just to shovel snow for $19/hour.
Meanwhile, most registered voters in New York City can cast ballots without showing any ID at all.

Far left Mamdani proposes to raise taxes, raid the rainy day and pension fund.
And now he wants to waste $70 million more at the expense of tax payer, for city run grocery stores? These grocery stores have never worked any where.
He’s actually ahead of schedule to run NYC into the ground.
Crazy fucking Dems ruin everything they touch.

Old Biden let ‘em in and bused or flew them all over and NYC is a big attraction. But those illegals aren’t free. Shelters, food, etc. They got help that wasnt budgeted and Biden and the Dems cheered at the expense of the NYC taxpayer.
But saying ‘Democrats ruin everything they touch’ isn’t analysis, it’s just a slogan.
If you think city-run grocery stores won’t work, that’s a fair argument to make — what evidence is there from other cities? What were the outcomes? That’s a policy discussion.
‘NYC is going to hell’ is a headline. Whether a $70 million program is wise or not is a debate. Originally Posted by fd-guy
