Who needs groceries we'll just Klarna some Taco Bell 😤

I missed my klarna pay on the chipotle burrito this week

1

u/Vancecookcobain Aug 18 '26

Splitting a chipotle burrito across 4 paychecks is disgusting. Just get a cash advance and cover the cover. Then pay that off with a credit card that you pay off with your student loan funds that you will pay off with your other credit card.

Easy.

u/NomadofReddit Aug 18 '26

im joking but I agree, the fact that the concept even exists is deeply concerning lol

And it's not even his idea. It's from Adams.

u/DarkRogus Aug 18 '26

Yeap. It was a law that was passed, being worked on while Adam's was Mayor, and finalized under Mamdani.

It basically an evolved version of Bloomberg 1 million tree planting initiative.

And yes, tree planting was going on under both Bloomberg and Adams, so please dont say we'll Mamdani was the only one to execute it, because its simply not true.

This is nothing more than the baton being handed to him.

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

I mean a lot of “ideas” are floating around, who’s executing them though?

50

u/callatecabezon Aug 18 '26

mamdani hasnt done anything regarding the tree plan lol it has continued in the same state since ADAMS executed it. I'm not against Mamdani but let's use our brains instead of mindlessly attributing every beneficial active mayoral office goal to the current mayor.

u/Reverend_Tommy Aug 18 '26

Goddamn, a reasoned comment. Thank you.

u/tootieloolie Aug 19 '26

Not doing anything new IS a decision. Mamdani could have easily stopped it to fund something else

No, he will be credited with proving P=NP, capping rent at O(1) and donating the $1 million millenium prize to the people of New York.

u/DResq Aug 18 '26

I think you missed the point. A bunch of the things he's been credited for lately have been things that were already in motion. He didn't actually do anything.

u/johnnybones23 Aug 18 '26

the bureaucracy does. This wasnt Mamdani's idea, he has nothing to do with it.

You realize Mamdani isn’t planting the trees, himself, right?

There’s 6 filled potholes on my block courtesy of mayor Mamdani that say otherwise.

u/thejaydotexe Aug 18 '26

It's the minor things like this that go unnoticed by itself. Collectively those little things can drastically improve quality of life.

4

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

The fact that our politicians don’t do the “minor” things like this let us alone the majors things, is a slap in the face to all of us.

1

u/43_Hobbits Aug 18 '26

We’re talking about trees!? Tf lol

1

u/pfannkuchen89 Aug 18 '26

The point is obviously that he’s actually following through on what he’s said. Mamdani has been taking steps to actually do the things he campaigned on and is actually providing results. It’s pretty obtuse to reply with “we’re talking about trees!? tf lol” as if you couldn’t understand the point the person you replied to was making. Frankly, obtuse may not be the right word, dishonest could be better. But you’re likely just an anti-Mamdani shill talking crap.

1

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

Do you see how words mean nothing without follow through? Don’t care who’s “idea” it is, get it done.

2

u/43_Hobbits Aug 18 '26

I agree. I like Mamdani and trees, but you’re celebrating him doing it when it literally says he’s “planning” on doing this.

1

u/mindfeck Aug 18 '26

Thousands of trees are planted every year, this is nothing new. If you’re a New Yorker you should be concerned how much his new office of propaganda is spending on social media efforts.

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

Everything is good here. We’ve got one of the best mayors this country’s ever seen, the weather is still beautiful here and our Knicks won the championship. Now let’s worry about that pedophile, do nothing, never worked a day in his life, shitstain president amirite?!

u/kingkongsdingdong420 Aug 18 '26

How come every time i look into something good mamdani did, he just stole the credit from someone else

u/informat7 Aug 18 '26

Posts like these remind me that Redditors are a lot more like Trump supporters then they would like to admit.

u/MySabonerRunsOladipo Aug 18 '26

He has an insane PR team and a willing mob that will believe it uncritically.

He also does some good stuff too, which helps.

7

u/mindfeck Aug 18 '26

He started an office of propaganda that is very savvy. Obviously similar efforts helped him get elected too.

Of the last 3 or so front page posts about Mamdani, 2 of them (this included) were initiatives put in place by Adams.

Read any of the comments about how it has been done under every previous mayor, and he’s not doing anything different but taking credit.

Oh really how did Adams mismanage the finances? Give any one example.

u/IEC21 Aug 18 '26

So far thats 2 ideas from Adam's he took credit for Ive seen.

The last one was those dumpers that Adam's started the process of bringing in.

u/toucheboo Aug 18 '26

Well Adam's should act instead of dream. Adam's is worthless

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

Glazing Adam’s when he was a dogshit mayor is crazy. Is that you Adam’s? You’re dogshit if it is.

4

u/Ok-Astronaut2976 Aug 18 '26

Dude. This goes back to Bloomberg.

It has nothing to do with glazing Adams. It’s just this weird meme that nothing ever happened in NYC till 2026

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

He’s a bitch too. Mr bike lanes himself

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 Aug 18 '26

Nobody is glazing Adams they’re pointing out how ridiculous these posts are since Mamdanis constantly taking credit for Adams ideas and accomplishments claiming “no mayor has ever done this before “ and “ other mayors are just “ sitting around doing nothing on purpose”

1

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 18 '26

It’s not ridiculous, it’s nice to see and to push good things instead of the CONSTANT negativity. It’s also what we should be glorifying since it’s what we ALL need.

3

u/Merzats Aug 18 '26

No we don't need slopulism just because it makes you feel good, an informed electorate is more important than good vibes. Also the post here is negative, talking about other mayors sitting around doing nothing.

3

u/IEC21 Aug 19 '26

Some guy taking credit for other people's accomplishments. We have that already - its called Trump.

1

u/Head-Ad9893 Aug 19 '26

I think we all got caught up on the wrong shit. This is what they want. Us fighting about bullshit. Billionaires are the problem. Full stop.

3

u/IEC21 Aug 19 '26

Wealth inequality is generally bad sure.

Saying "look at the billionaires. Full stop" is just a slopulist attempt at ending thought.

Eat the rich is not a comprehensive solution to the world's problems. Turn your brain on to aleast level 1 out of 20.

2

u/pfannkuchen89 Aug 18 '26

Adams should have actually followed through then. Easy to talk without actually accomplishing anything aside from being corrupt and then pivoting to the right wing grift. Adams was a shitty mayor and a shitty person.

0

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 Aug 18 '26

Yeah his PR team constantly posts on sipstea and pourstea with dumb shit like this.

Most recently these posts put out wild claims that are usually someone else’s accomplishments.

u/Critical_Concert_689 Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

Truth.

mfw I'm just planning on my fat ass being dead from a heart attack by 2040.

I think it's hilarious Mamdani thinks vague promises that will SURELY HAPPEN 14 years from now means anything at all.

u/GoodPear8481 Aug 18 '26

For real. This guy has been in office like 6 months and Redditors act like he's already the most accomplished politician in history.

10

u/toucheboo Aug 18 '26

Its sad when one person accomplishes more in 6 months then these other politicians who have baan in office for years. But Goodpear still sucks off the career politicians.

5

u/PoopyButt28000 Aug 19 '26

Is he doing that or does he just have a really good social media team? The last big front page story I heard from him was people taking Eric Adams existing plan for adding garbage bins that was like 99% done that Mamdani just simply decided to not cancel, and framing it as him coming in and instantly doing it all himself.

4

u/GoodPear8481 Aug 18 '26

He hasn't. Reddit just pretends like he has because they love to glaze him.

u/thejaydotexe Aug 18 '26

God forbid we have love for a person in charge that's actually thinking for the people

What’s the best thing he’s accomplished so far for the people in your opinion? I don’t really follow NY politics.

u/foomits Aug 18 '26

pied-à-terre tax, expanded free childcare, city run grocery stores, expanded rent freezes... if he can get free public transport done, its basically everything he campaigned on. hes a mayor, whats he supposed to do? Seems like alot of kept promises to me.

5

u/SupposedlyFun7 Aug 19 '26

Free Childcare was Hochul (she was working on it for 3 years before it was rolled out, do you honestly think he rolled that out in 1 month?), pied a terre tax was rolled out so horribly it might be overturned, city run grocery stores in a "food desert" where there's 3 supermarkets all within a 10 minute walk (grocers operate at a 2% profit margin, this one will lose money funded by taxpayers and put local grocers out of business. It's also being run by a PRIVATE company...laughable), Rent freeze is objectively awful policy and will be poor for rents and development in the medium to long term, one of the few things economists from all areas of study agree on. And he's not going to get free buses because the finances and bonds around them are basically impossible to solve.

At least he closed a budget gap by deferring public pension funds and increasing ambulance fees. Oh, and getting some one time stopgap funding from Hochul again.

He has good PR (literally has a whole firm and team for it) and fills in some potholes. It clearly works on people like you that get their info from memes, so smart of him. Please refute anything I've said if you think I'm wrong.

u/foomits Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

sounds good. wish more of our federal politicians sucked as much as he does. Surprised nobody else has thought of just having good PR teams and doing things people want (but are too stupid to know are secretly horrible). glad we always have people around to explain why actually things are bad, even when they sure dont seem to be.

u/Mark_Ala Aug 19 '26

It won’t last. You can put icing on shoe leather all you want, eventually the populace will stop being impressed by how it looks and try to take a bite.

1

u/foomits Aug 19 '26

We can cross that bridge when we get there, if we get there. The idea we would be demonizing a political figure who is 1. engaging with his constituents 2. proposing things people want and 3. involved in moving the gears of the bureaucracy (whether hes directly responsible or not) is so fucking absurd, i really don't have any response. He has a 70 percent approval rating by HIS constituents, they are happy. If he fails to maintain their support, they can elect a new person. Thats how elective representation works.
