New York City has been through a lot. Fires, blackouts, terrorist attacks, and hurricanes. And the city has bounced back! Except for bad mayors. For the past 50 years New York had to deal with people like Abe Beam, David Dinkins, Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams. Adams only came to the center when he saw his political career going down the tubes.
Then there’s Zohran Mamdani. A quarter century after Rudy Giuliani led New York from total anarchy and the worst terrorist attack in American history. Those New Yorkers passed away or moved away. Mamdani is a 33-year-old anti Semite and communist Assemblyman from Queens who never held a job. His big ideas include city owned grocery stores. He wants New York City owned and operated grocery stores. I guess he never heard of the grocery stores in Russia owned and operated where citizens had to wait in long lines for stale bread. Mamdani probably never went to a city owned hospital. New Yorks Finest do not want to be taken to city owned hospitals if shot. Mamdani probably doesn’t take the subway which is a mess and probably wasn’t alive when the city owned betting parlor Off Track Betting (OTB) lost money and had to be subsidized by city taxpayers.
Mamdani also wants to have social workers police the streets. So some city social worker will de-escalate a meth head chopping up people with a machete. Then he wants to raise property taxes on “richer and whiter people.” Imagine if he wanted to stick it to “blacker and poorer” people!?
Unfortunately New York is full of trust fund socialists who don’t have to work, have no kids and live far away from the neighborhoods with “busy houses.” Luckily Mamdani can be mayor for only 8 years!
