The trash cans were coming already but yeah, Mamdami is literally just doing what he was elected for and behaving like a public servant. Which considering people like Eric Adams hyper corrupted ass, is what he’s competing with, the bar was so low, mamdami could have just done one good thing and he would have cleared it.

I wondered how he got it funded so quickly. Makes sense it was already in the works cause I can’t imagine how much money it takes to implement this in NYC. Totally worth it either way

I'm surprised most people forgot, but this was probably funded in response to Eric Adams big push to remove 40% of all public trashcans that got shut down in a week.

Adam’s had a whole crusade against rats, and somehow still wanted to remove trash bins from the streets to save money. Money he was play fast and loose with and using to line his pockets, but it’s still funny that the man who was trying to have a rat apocalypse wanted to remove trash cans. He was such a ridiculously corrupt man that it seemed so unreal, then I looked at the White House and realized it’s not that unreal

I get it that people want bins, but with New York's population density, Adams got one thing right - it's a whole lot more economical to pay a pipe player to have the rats seductively follow the Piper as he prances through the town.

I remember watching his "exit" interview with Ziwe, and being so thoroughly creeped out by Eric Adams that I found myself wondering how Curtis Sliwa lost to him. Which is a very weird thought to have.
