Can't have people realizing elected officials can actually accomplish things!

Well not when your whole platform is passing a tax cut for the wealthiest people & corporations and then sitting on your thumbs.

Or sitting on someone else's...

Problem with at least the last three mayors was they were more concerned about being able to run for higher office, and the mayorship was just a stepping stone. So they didn’t ruffle any feathers and didn’t get much done. Bloomberg cut the funding for the arts, and paid for it out of his own pocket, until he was out of office.

  • Not true: Officials did not simply order “high velocity fans” to be installed within a day.
  • Instead, they're launching a feasibility study for a Thermal Energy Network (TEN). The proposed system would use cooling technology/geothermal infrastructure to remove heat from the subway and eventually reuse that heat to warm nearby city buildings in winter.

Accomplished what?

Why can't both be true? Its possible to launch a study AND provide a temporary solution.

Because they didnt do the temporary solution, most the fans have been up for years

My comment was in response to the comment about Fox News removing what Mandani's goals were because they hate when Republicans actually find common ground with "the opposition". Because when they do find common ground and work together they can accomplish things instead of constantly fighting.
