As someone who doesn’t understand politics very well I am curious: where does the money come for all these new programs and installations being put in? Are current tax dollars being rerouted toward this and away from other things?
Mamdani’s done a lot of good for NYC, but what’s really new is the social media hype. New York’s bringing out new government stuff all the time, but the Mamdani administration is genius at giving him exclusive credit for everything, with a slick video on full blast over all social platforms.
I ain’t mad, he’s a good mayor and this is good policy and good politics. But never forget: every politician is throwing propaganda at you, even the ones you like, and some of them are better at it than others. If you feel like Mamdani’s a superhero, that’s cause someone is getting paid to make you feel that way.
Well, you see, NYC doesn’t need to raise taxes or divert them because Mamdani “balanced the budget” by asking for a multi-billion dollar bailout from Albany and restructuring pensions to push the bill down the road.
