New York Mayor Mamdani has angered his constituents by allowing up to 8 ft-high piles of rat-infested garbage all over the city. Except his mansion, of course. He had that plowed out and left the rest of NYC to rot.
14 people have died on NYC streets because the Mayor decided to leave homeless encampments on the streets so that police could not force them to go to shelters. Brilliant move. Way to decrease the surplus population. And increase the rat-infested garbage.
“The mayor’s Upper East Side neighbors are being forced to trudge through garbage-plagued streets, roaming rodents and mounds of snow tainted with dog pee a full week after Winter Storm Fern. Blocks away, the sidewalks outside the lefty mayor’s digs on East 88th Street are squeaky clean… “Clean as a whistle for the mayor,” Rivers said. “Look at this side.”
“This side” is marred by massive piles of garbage as high as 6 feet that have been building for days and attracting rats — even as Mamdani late last week patted himself on the back, claiming he’s keeping things on track.
Fourteen New Yorkers have died in the bitter cold since arctic weather blew into the city.
Other streets in his neighborhood are home to even higher piles of debris — some as tall as 8 feet.”
That's not "socialism" or any other "party-ism" but is certainly negligence or incompetence somewhere. Or huge spending-cuts or serious strikes by municipal staff.
What has actually gone wrong, without party-politics?
@ArishMell Yep, for a big snow, NYC has to scoop it up and truck it away. They have plows that they mount on garbage trucks; obviously if a truck is plowing it can't also be collecting trash. Plows clear the roadway, more or less, but for removal, they also have front loaders and melting trucks and places to cart away mountains of snow.
Whining about Dept of Sanitation trash removal while Dept of Sanitation snow removal is happening 24/7 is disingenuous in the extreme.

UPDATE
Yes, NYC uses private contractors in addition to Dept of Sanitation for heavy snows like this; plows, dump trucks, etc.
Just another day of flaunting the moral bankruptcy of those people that vote to empoverish a large segment of the nation, but use the poor and less fortunate when it's politically advantagous.
@FreddieUK I didnt refute anything you said - just saying what you think doesn't matter because you are not American and American is not your country.
Americans dont give a shit about what happens in the UK so you dont hear us talking about it or its weak leadership. UK is not our home so anything we say about it - true or false - is a moot point. It doesn't count. It works both ways.
@AmericanAvenger You're very welcome to say what you want about my country. You engage on the world wide web and the world participates. YOU think we don't count (whatever that means). That's a view shared by others. However, I'm pleased to say many of your countrymen and women and those internationally are welcoming of comment. Use the block if you would prefer not to read anything that offends you: I do.
