I don’t want to fall into the trap of hero worship but yeah, this seems like what mayors should always be doing.
I don’t think it’s hero worship. There are 1,616 mayors in the United States; the fact that there’s basically one who’s doing his job, and that he happens to be the one at the helm of the biggest municipality in the country, is noteworthy.
Put another way, the respect and esteem owed to the mayors of the USA is just all being piled onto the only high-visibility one who actually deserves it.
I don’t think it’s hero worship to recognize the apparently amazing job Mamdani is doing, either. I’m just very wary of falling into the hero worship trap.
Random question but where are you getting that 1,616 number for number of mayors in the USA? That is way too specific to be an approximation but also feels way too low for the number of cities and towns in the US with municipal governments structured in such a way that they have a mayor/city executive
The 1616 is for towns over 30,000

Oh dang, you’re right. I remembered the 1616 number because it’s the Marvel number with a 1 in front, and I forgot it was just for bigger cities.
Wiki has it at 135k for mayors+town council members. Which seems far more accurate.
coke
Shoulda spread em out better
These aren’t the only ones in the entire city. NYC has lots of people. Lots of people produce lots of trash. That means multiple dumpsters are needed in each place, so they don’t overflow between collections.
I’m sure there was math involved. Something about the expected collection schedule, and estimations of how much trash is produced per day.
Besides, it’s better to put 3 or 4 bins in one spot rather than spread them out every couple hundred meters. It keeps the stink contained to specific locations.
Nothing quite as socialistic as public trash bins
socialism is when the goberment does stuff and the more stuff it does the more socialister it is
and the more stuff it does the more socialister it is
It evolves into communism after it becomes so social it’s socialest, but you have to use a water stone.
Also receptables for useless ex-mayors.
All these threads are hilarious.
Dude gets elected to the job of running the city and actually RUNS the city and everyone’s shocked.
Like take a step back and realize that if actually having potholes fixed and garbage collected is ‘new’ maybe you all need to stop re-electing the same loser assholes year after year.
It’s because he’s Muslim.
That’s it. He’s talked about so much because he’s a brown person doing good things and that goes against the white American collective hive mind.
Yeah, people seem to still not get this part… it’s factually a race issue like most problems in this he US
I think it’s because he’s socialist. Americans have spent the past forty years (at least; probably longer, but I’m only 41) being told that socialism was evil and would inevitably lead to bread lines and mass death and corruption and like…perpetual rain or something. But now we’ve got a socialist running the biggest metropolitan area in the USA, and actually everyone there is doing great, while the Republican presidency is doing the mass death and corruption stuff. Americans are having their preconceptions rewritten in real time.
It’s because he puts the needs of the workers over the needs of those with so much wealth their entire lineage will never have to work again.
They’ll use him being a Muslim to turn us against him and against each other, but that’s not why he’s opposed by the billionaires who own the media or the billionaires who fund the GOP and establishment Democrats, all of whom teamed up to try to keep him out of power.
When it was Bernie, they tried to divide us by gender. When it’s a Muslim, they try to divide us by religion. When it’s a white Christian man, they try to divide us by lying about him being a fucking vegan.
There’s no war but class war.
It’s a collective “wait this is what socialism is” moment.
This isn’t socialism though, it’s just actual city management.
Probably what all other politicians usually do: Fill their pockets with money and power
Socialism:
Everyone starves to death but at least the garbage is in bins.
Lmao, someone’s been drinking the capitalist Kool-Aid.
lmao you might mistake socialism for authoritarianism
Ya jackass
You insult the good name of Detective Columbo.
Socialist Communist Mamdani is genociding the Rat majority population of New York by wiping out their food supply /s
Not to rain on everyone’s parade, but this is not Mamdani’s initiative, though of course he is making the correct choice in continuing it.
Eric Adams just did it because he has a lifelong hatred of rats
So he is self loathing.
The truth is one of the most important things. 👍
Well on my list of important the most important things it’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Yet, some people can’t handle the truth.
So help you god?
I use to believe that as well, till you realize that the truth is whatever the victors say it is.
I have a million dollars!
Edit: dang it, it didn’t work. I’m a Victor and what I said didn’t become truth. 😭
Yuk yuk yuk
Mamdani has expanded it.
Seems to me Adams initiative only had the household size bins. Mamdani got larger bins for apartments etc.

there’s a big one one the pic though
Well if Rudy was anything to go by, trying to bang underage girls and sweating away the last vestiges of their credibility in a landscaping company forecourt.
Eric Adam had is hand full.
Fraud.
I think i know who these are for
They got rich.
