Mamdani Team to Terminate 179 Adams City Hall Staffers

Mayor’s Office shakeup in store “as is standard practice for a mayoral transition.”
Quote

 

Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, called the layoffs, “a massive loss for New Yorkers.” 

“These long time civil servants should not be the victims of political gamesmanship,” he said.

A spokesperson for Mamdani’s transition, Dora Pekec, said in a statement that “as is standard practice for a mayoral transition, the Mayor-elect and his transition team are working to build their City Hall plan, which includes new staff in key roles to ensure they can deliver effectively on their agenda.” 

Mamdani said Monday that the transition team has received more than 70,000 applications to work in his administration — and vowed to shake things up to make city government run better.

Every city with more than 25,000 people could benefit from these changes. Opening a small business in Dallas proper is a fucking nightmare.

Why do Dems resign? MAGA would wear this shit with honor, dems try to take the high road which never works.

This chick was, like what, a high school junior when she tweeted that stupid shit? The lengths ADL will go to do cancel culture against their perceived political enemies, but are totally fine with a grown man, who literally palled around with a present-day antisemite and knowingly spread a hateful trope about jews, not only keeping his job as a professional athlete but being heavily utilized by his team. In his case, a simple apology note is fine, right? Or, of course, when the richest man in the world does a Seig Heil in front of millions of viewers, they can look past that, right?

She's just not important enough to justify keeping her on the team, and she recognized that, but at the same time I have zero reason to believe she's actually antisemitic in adulthood. Surely an apology note like Puka Nacua's would have been good enough for her to keep her job, right? I think she would have done a great job, but so will the replacement. You don't mess with the Zohran.

I mean, I guess what one could argue as the difference is that she’s now, or rather was, a government employee and is, therefore, accountable to the citizens she worked for.

But, yeah, when you bring Elon into it, who became a very powerful quasi-public employee, causing untold damage to the country while retaining ownership of his own widely-viewed and influential toxic cesspool of a social media site filled with antisemites, to whom he provided a platform, I can see the hypocrisy.

One other irony is that the poster who seems to have a real problem with antisemites on the Left has no problem frequenting a website (and therefore financially supporting through his viewership and "clicks") that actively promotes Far Right antisemites.

Oh, and you're right to point out the Puka shit that everyone's blowing off because he's just a young meathead who plays a sport that we're all addicted to.

By the way, this woman was 18 when she made those tweets; old enough to know better but young and dumb enough to do it anyway. That said, it's unfortunate that she's part of a generation that came of age at the dawn of social media, so every stupid teenage thought they expressed online is digitally preserved for all to see until the collapse of human civilization.

I just found it astonishing that he wasn't even suspended for like a quarter. Was he even fined? I'm pretty sure MLB, NBA, even NHL would have meted out some kind of discipline.

No kidding. I mostly had the game on in the background, but my ears perked up when the announcers were all just like (paraphrasing), "He's just a young and naive kid. Probably shouldn't have been hanging out with that guy." My jaw dropped at how nonchalant the excuses were, including the coach's after the game.

This was at the swearing in ceremony for Mayor Mamdani. If you are familiar with NYC politics you know who Jumaane Williams is. The best descriptor I have for him is if you asked me to name an American that walks the walk and genuinely cares about their fellow human beings this is who I would say is the ideal. I remember listening to him in August 2020 at the March on Washington. He is not a naturally gifted speaker, but he still excels at it. He wears his emotions on his sleeve like a political Dick Vermeil and you’ll see that in this. I am proud of him and what he has done to make New York City better. It is possible to be a public servant and not lose your soul in the process. Mr. Williams is living proof of that.

Mamdani tenant tsar said home ownership is a tool of whit...

New York City Mayor Mamdani’s tenant director Cea Weaver had a resurfaced tweet come up that said she believes home ownership is a tool of white supremacy.

“I think the reality is that for centuries we have really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good,” she said. “And we are transitioning to treating it as a collective good and a model of shared equity.”

"She said that white families and some POC families who are homeowners will have a different relationship with property."

The funny part is she is an ardent YIMBY who drives a certain segment of leftists insane. Also she is an extremely well known quantity in the housing policy world so this is a surprise to no one besides pearl clutching rightoids.

I don't necessarily understand the issue with recognizing that providing housing is an important public interest. Especially from a country who hates and fears the homeless so much. Obviously the devil is in the details but something must be done, particularly in cities like New York and San Francisco and places where prices have just gotten ridiculous.

Actually trying to solve public social problems is something we used to do in this country and then at some point decided to stop doing. Time to get back to work.

I have zero issue with those comments. We all share this planet and for most of the world’s inhabitants the idea of owning an apartment building or homes is a foreign idea. We have ardently failed as a country in how we deal with this and I am glad this has been said.

Millions upon millions of people of all shades of color in this country need the government, whether local, state or national (lol yeah not happening) to step in and start solving this housing issue.

Does this have much of an effect on my life? No it does not. However, being that I share a country with millions of people where it does, I want to see things that address the greater good and not the “screw you I got mine” crowd. We get one shot at life and selfishness in the context of this is ridiculous. It is insanity to me how easily those that have much cast aside so quickly those that do not.

I hope Mamdani and his NYC government can push through plans that help the most people that they can to have better housing that is affordable. Not one person in this country should be paying the ridiculous rents we see in major cities. Not in a maga state and not in one that isn’t.

Well that is the nice thing about local government in a federal system. We will see if what they do works. If it does, we can do it other places.

It’s been done before…cost literally millions of lives. Hopefully it won’t get that far this time around.

This is going to be the thread where the resident conservatives pretend to care about policy, with no shred of irony or hypocrisy.

This is the thread where I mock the people stupid enough to believe the government can, “give” people housing and it doesn’t devolve into Cabrini- Green or the public housing slums of every other time it’s been tried. None of this is new, innovative or special.

It doesn’t need to be innovative or special. It just needs to work for the majority of the population and not a far smaller minority of it that it currently does. If NYC can figure out a way to lift up people out of paralyzing poverty due to the cost of living, specifically housing costs, other major cities will need to explore similar measures. We are a nation on the brink of watching housing for millions of people just cease to be a reality.

The richest country in the history of the world is also the most selfish because those that have the most refuse to share with the majority that has next to nothing. It’s Mack Brown Syndrome personified.

Are you going to choose to live the rest of your life as such a broken-brained bitch that small potato shit like NYC housing policy, proposed by a scary Mooslim, allows you to turn a blind eye to the greatest threat to American democracy in our lifetimes?

Have you no sense of the fundamentals? Like right versus wrong? Good versus evil?

Oh, no! These minorities want to raise taxes on rich white people. Hell, I don't know if any of the race or religion shit bugs you, but what the ever-loving fuck? We have an aspiring dictator right now, tearing at the fabric, the very soul of this country, STEALING billions from our treasury.

We have a lifelong conman and convicted felon who's spent every fucking second of his 79 years on this planet fucking people over. And now he wants to fucking steal other countries.

And you want to bitch about subsidized housing or something?

What in the ever fucking fuck is wrong with you? What the hell happened to you? Did someone hurt you as a child, or have you always been a complete shell of a man? For the sake of your eternal soul, reflect on what your fear, hatred, or whatever it is that's poisoning your mind and allowing you to think that he is the answer to your pain.

Good lord, man. Fucking repent and renounce this demon that's been unleashed into this world.

So, fuck your own face.
