Garbage socialism: Mamdani gives it to New Yorkers good and hard

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker  

"Trash and rats are piling up as snow stays uncleared, but Mayor Mamdani has more important things to do."

 "Under socialism, New Yorkers are learning the hard way how fast a city can go downhill.

In Mayor Mamdani's New York City, they don't actually remove the snow, they just spread it out on the street so that everyone suffers equally.

. . . "It's a nightmare. I've lived in New York and know what it's like in February. Black snow, freezing rain and slippery sidewalks are bad enough, and everyone is just sick of the cold temperatures and snow mess that's made as the wreckage of winter slowly melts away. But the snow was always cleared under Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. Now they don't bother. Handicapped people cannot cross streets, snow plows are abandoned, and garbage is piling up, complete with rats eating through the decay and putrification.

"Mamdani was elected mayor of New York, not ruler of the world. But he's acting like the latter. Mayors keep streets plowed and garbage collected. Mamdani makes Instagrams instead. Now New Yorkers are learning the hard way that they don't matter as all power concentrates in the hands of the state under socialism. This is as true of New York City as it is of China, Venezuela, Cuba, or any place that has embraced the socialist model."
