New Yorkers got scammed by the Democrats

Out with the trash

This was the Left's REAL Hope for Change that Barack Obama was talking about back in 2008.

Aye. I laughed when during his first term Trump Executive Ordered Barack's eight years of presidency out of existence.

Add to that daytime temperatures in the teens to low 20s with nights down to the single digits, try chiseling past the ice the snow plows piled up along the streets, sometimes spilling into the sidewalks as it did here and the house across the street. You're going to have to make sure you have something of a freed up schedule to take care of that. As you can see from my postings that second day, I had to take few hours out of my CEO business/memeing schedule.

Snow plows, you ask? Most are regular garbage trucks retrofitted for the occasion (plus the orange salt spreader trucks). So if you put your garbage out there, it was not going to be touched for days because and they were plowing for days, and they can't do two things at once because math. And now instead of simply going to the curb and picking it up, they have to climb over walls and hills of ice to do it.

With the latest location reveal on TwitterX showing that there are even more South Asians and Nigerians than there are Russians LARPing as MAGA, it's understandable why many can't grasp the concept of winter, thinking snow is cute fluffy shredded plastic confetti they've seen people waltz through in musical scenes in movies.

Heck, even our Southies got hit with way more snow they've seen cumulatively in their entire lifetimes (literally) plus extended freezing that they've never seen go past half a day before, and never ever as cold. Ever. So now they got it taste of what we deal with every year in the delightful phenomenon known as... winter.

My advice to all the foreigners in the reading audience, stay home. Don't come here. Don't wait for a Trump to come along to kick yous out after you come here, just stay home where it's nice and warm and the worst thing you have to worry about are marauding macaques trying to steal your McD's naan from your hands as you step outside.

Stay home everybody. And stay safe. This is America now.

So then is NYC the only place in the world that gets snow? Or is it the only place in the world where the garbage truck drivers stop picking up the garbage if there is snow on the ground?

You would think that the center of the universe would be better at handling the snow and the garbage.

What would I know, because it never snows at all in UTAH!!! That's why our garbage trucks are never late.... or is it.

Guy looked at the meme, and didn't know there was a comment attached.

It's like you picked up a travel brochure for Utah and found out they had skiing.

Your imagery of the US is like yesteryear cartoonish stereotypes gleaned from movies, television shows, and assorted postcards. You probably think everybody looks like Juan Epstein & talks like Vinny Barbarino here, and we all go to pester an Archie Bunker guy down the block on a fairly regular basis just because of his skin tone.

"It's like you picked up a travel brochure for Utah and found out they had skiing."

Almost. I went online to look for an image of anything from Utah with the "Greatest Snow on Earth" logo and found this license plate.

I guess that is sort of yesteryear because the expiration on these plates is 95. But they still use these plates. I used to have this style of license plate on my old truck. But when I got my new truck I got the plates with the Delicate Arch on it.

My wife and I hiked to Delicate Arch about 10 years ago. It is down near the city of Moab at Arches National Park.

If at any point you find that your mayor has made life is impossible to live in NYC, I would suggest living in Southern Utah. It has some of the most beautiful and odd looking scenery in the world. But then anywhere is better than NYC. If So. Cal... but not by much. California has governor Newsom. The man responsible for reversing the flow to where for every 1 move in there are 2 who move out of California. It was the opposite before Newsom. Mamdani is doing that to NYC and it is the rich who are leaving first.

Imagery. Not image. Imagery. As in your visualization. Of the United States. Not the picture of a license plate, your visualization.

Your homespun anecdotes reminds me of Walking Tall, the forgotten TV series. For some strange reason they relocated the story to New York, I don't know why, because about the tallest building in the show was two stories, maybe three, and the greenery far outnumbered the concrete and bricks.

But what was even faker still was Sheriff Buford Pusser's delivery. Like he would over-describe locations. Instead of "We got a shooting at 59th and 8th," he would say "59th Street and 8th Avenue between blah blah blah right near blah blah" ... A lot of excessive detail that nobody here or anywhere else would talk like. So while trying to make it sound like he was actually here, the end result was very much the opposite.

That's how you describe things. Plus really out of date. I don't know what the deal is with what neighborhood you live in, but your conception of everything tends towards exceedingly anachronistic. Except in cases like Newsom and Mamdani, which you're exposed to from memes here.

Yes, you've told me how fabulous it is. You've also told me that you can't afford your own home that you already paid for from the way fabulous job you've had, and therefore, courtesy of Capitalism, looks like you're going to have to exchange that for a humbler abode in Alabama, is what you told me a few weeks ago. But don't feel bad, as the state motto of Alabama goes, "Well, at least we're not Arkansas"

I don't feel bad about moving to Alabama. No, Alabama's motto is "Well, at least we're not NYC". Nothing I said about NYC is out of date. So who do you act like, Juan Epstein, Vinny Barbarino, Archie Bunker or Woody Allen?

Is Buford Pusser your stereotype of the South?

I can easily afford my house now but when I retire I won't have that level of income. I would prefer to stay in Utah because I love it here. I could stay but money would be a lot tighter after I retire. So I'm making an adjustment in my life. There is a lot about Alabama that I like. We would have moved there much much earlier except I hate humidity. I guess you're used to it or, having never left NYC, probably don't understand what a dry climate feels like. You know that wet feeling you have every time you step outside in the summer? That's humidity and here in Utah, when I step outside in the summer, I don't feel like I am covered in warm snot, like what you've felt all your life.

"You probably think everybody looks like Juan Epstein & talks like Vinny Barbarino here, and we all go to pester an Archie Bunker guy down the block on a fairly regular basis just because of his skin tone."

That's exactly how I envision everyone in NYC. They're all just like that. How did you know? 🤣🤣🤣 Hey, you forgot Woody Allen. If they don't act like Juan Epstein, Vinny Barbarino or Archie Bunker then they act just like Woody Allen. And don't forget whenever anyone crosses a street they have to slam their hands on a car and say "I'm walkin here". 🤣🤣🤣 Also it is mandatory that every New Yorker say, "Fuhgeddabout it" a minimum of 10 times a day.

On the serious side, the problem I have with NYC, specifically Manhattan, is claustrophobia, and I don't have claustrophobia. I just didn't like being surrounded by all of the tall buildings. Plus everyone there thinks NYC is the center of the universe. I think NYC is ugly. Not as ugly as LA but it's up there. Boston is a much prettier city.

Also, the majority of NYC voters are so mentally deficient that they voted for Zorhan Mamdani for mayor. It is a city of people whose IQ's are in the negative numbers.

You think everyone in Utah has 20 wives and ride around on bicycles everywhere wearing dark suits with a white shirt. That's just absurd. Why just the other day I was talking about that stereotype with wife #13 and #6 while we were bicycling down the street. It made us laugh because all 3 of us were wearing dark suits with white shirts at the time. Wives #19, #1, #5 and #11 couldn't ride that day because they're all about to give birth to our 135th, 136th, 137th and 138th new babies.

I see breadlines in their future while conservatives laugh at them.

They'll bitch about only getting white bread and demand a nice marble rye.

And do that while the pampered NYC's communist polit bureau members drive past them in Rolls Royces.

Upvote.

You try telling leftists that socialism makes like very hard and they never listen. They see the "free stuff" and that's all they are interested in.

The real victims are the people trying to sell "I love NY" merch at a huge discount, with no buyers.

Y'all are hilarious. "OMG, IT SNOWED!!!1 SOCIALISM!!!!!1"

Can you point to a policy change that resulted in this?

Because for it to be his fault, he'd have to have changed the policy from the previous administration.

What policy was that?

Mamdani not being prepared for the snow everyone got hit with. And he's not the only one. Mayors and governors have screwed up over three inches of snow

How was he unprepared for... a weather pattern that the city has been dealing with since its founding?

Does the snow removal team have to wait for a personal call from the mayor?

Are there no policies already in place? Are there no trained teams who have years of experience already in the position?

in what way was the city not prepared for this as a result of his administration?

I haven't heard anything about him or anybody here being unprepared for it, and I live here.

Right? Clearly it's BS MAGA nonsense. I grew up in Minnesota, and even there it takes a day or so to dig out of a foot+ of snow.

And the ones doing the plowing aren't exactly picking up the garbage simultaneously,,,

These are the same folks who last week were peppy on that meme about how the liberal cities in the North are going to be begging for their help after the snowstorm. Why would people who've been experiencing snowstorms here for centuries going to beg for help from people who've never handled a snow shovel in their life and are slipping all over the place because they don't know what snow tires are?

I'm no fan of Mamdani (I voted for Sliwa), but I'm going to hold off for something a little better than snow for ye olde "I told you so" moment.

Mamdani was not prepared for the snow that we got hit with? What, he left his shovel at his previous apartment?

He didn't have to be, although he already was. He had only been in office less than a month, preparedness for snow storms is something that had been established kind of a bit before that.

Every mayor here is haunted by the memories of Mayor Lindsay in 1969, when NY was walloped buy a snowstorm and he wasn't prepared, putting a big dent in his rep. Everyone except for Bloomberg, who also got bopped upside their head unprepared.

The truck started spreading salt the day before, and they were still plowing away days after even after there was nothing left to plow. As they get paid over time, they like doing that. Terrible waste of money. Also there's no need to keep spreading salt wants the streets have been cleared, but again, they like that overtime pay. Is that the department of sanitation, garbage pickup is basically put on the waiting list. This happens every time there's a big storm, even a small one. 8.5 million people, garbage piling up during emergencies comes with the territory.
