A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

So, he's still just a city mayor

If NYC were an independent country, it'd still rank among the top 10 GDPs in the world.

If NYC were a state, it'd hold about the 12th highest population, about equal with Virginia.

It's population is larger than Hong Kong, larger than Laos...almost as large as Switzerland, Austria, Greece.

To say he is "just the mayor of a city" is like saying Eric Clapton is still "just a guitar player".

You're right. His role as the rapper Mr Cardamom dwarfs any role as "just' the mayor of a city.
