wow, its almost like socialism can benefit society.
🫡poop
I mean this really isn't socialism this is just basic general government work and somebody actually pushing for the people that do the work that they're being paid to do already.
It was more alluding to the fact that he is a socialist and his interest is in bettering the city rather then enriching himself.
Every good Mayor does this. There is nothing unique or ultra special about him doing his job.
I agree that a good mayor does stuff like this. But with the state of american politics in general, and NYC in particular, this kind of behavior is far from the norm. Otherwise this post wouldn't get any traction.
Almost like the propaganda about government workers being inefficient and lazy is capitalist propaganda if the socialist politicians are the ones driving efficiently making government work.
