Turns out you can improve both public transit and driving! It was sort of being implied by haters that driving was going to get way worse under him IIRC.

Should've used rats to fill them in. .
Boom, two birds, one stone.
I should be mayor. Amateurs.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall . . .
Potheads in shambles
By himself? That's quite a work ethic.
He's used to filling holes since college days

This should be in every Mayoral orientation handbook.
There's a flip side. My country has roadworks everywhere right before election time lmao
The problem is, you see; hardly anyone reads books these days.
I have dozens of books (that warn exactly, with instructions) on how to avoid this exact situation.

Great things happen when the wealthy pay their fair share.
This is exactly why they never want us to see it happen.
They're gonna pay one way or the other.
We don't want cake.
Sure sure sure, but did the government make any profit from doing this?
Fucking socialist, wasting money on things people need.
Business owners whose vehicles now need less repair and maintenance: “This is unacceptable“

I know you're joking, but it is so depressing that this is EXACTLY how so many government officials think and how so many constituents have been brainwashed to think.
and, equally if not more depressingly, governments can make waaay more money by TAXING THE FUCKING RICH!
The typical conservative response to that is "but then they'll take their businesses elsewhere and now you get nothing."
The typical conservative response also fails to even consider just how difficult, expensive, and risky it is to move a large business to an entirely new region. Real estate has to be purchased and sold, employees have to be relocated or replaced, logistics have to be established in the new region, valuable business connections and contracts will have to be severed, and for brick and mortar businesses, the competitive landscape will be different.

Of course.
Actual uplifting news and it's something Zohran Mamdani did. Sucks that this guy isn't eligible for the presidency.
Trump won't be eligible in next election and I'm certain that won't stop him from trying. Why can't we do the same?
...because Zohran Mamdani isnt already the president and isnt being supported by the richest men in the world and is actively being worked against.
This is good but cis people still need to push him to keep his promise on protecting trans people that he made during the campaign and stand up to Mount Sinai and Langone.

New campaign slogan:
Zohran, he'll fill all your holes.
I wish those movies were still funny today. They were so great in their time.
They aged terribly
I'm so glad someone finally had the bravery and moral courage to take on the scourge of...Austin Powers movies. Truly this is the cause of our time.

Can my city borrow Mamdani for a couple months?
This guy seems like he’s off to a great start.
And who would have thought paying people to provide services would work? I’m shocked!

Can he please fill the pot hole in my heart next?
I mean, I do legitimately wonder how he did this when other administrations didn't or couldn't. Would like an insider perspective. Like, did he just pay tons and tons of OT? Did he order the potholes filled quickly, even if they didn't meet the normal standard for quality? Did he crack the whip and say "fuck your union rules!" Or were past administrations just this corrupt/lazy/incompetent?
I'm sure his fanboys will say "obviously it's the last one - he's not a corrupt capitalist pig", or something. And I'm open to that explaination. But I'd like, yaknow, some actual statements from people who were actually involved.
