Arrival of Mayor Mamdani (NYC)

 So....six thoughts:

1.  If you listed 25 of his 'promises'....the city council over the next 12 months will give him a 'path' to probably no more than three 'promises'.  The rest will be blocked by the council or the Governor.

2. From the three-odd 'promises'....if you graded on delivering 'something' or being  of value (1-to-10)....most NYers will grade the guy a '5'....meaning nothing much got better (or worse).

3.  Pro-socialists will heavily promote the next 12 months, how fake-successful things were.  

4.  Around 40-percent of the police force and firemen will retire (early on  in the year).  Crime surges slightly (say 20-percent higher by the end of 2026).

5.  Democratic Party attempts to use NY City as a example of their politics, with most folks asking....what exactly improved (nothing)?

6. The city-run grocery concept is likely to be one  of the promises delivered upon....with $20-plus million minimum invested.  One single operation....which week after week....is proven to be a money-loser and consume $1-million per month in city-operations cost. My belief? It'll shutdown by city council order by end of 2027...proven to be a failure.

Note, all of this is a failure-to-deliver situation....which Trump uses to promote the November election  for the Republicans.
