Math and statistics are clearly conspiring with him to hide the truth. Why else would they use Arabic numerals?

Science is woke and therefore to be abandoned.
funny that arabs use Indian numerals and the rest of the world uses Arab ones.
Man, it was so sad how many people took that seriously.
Not the Arabic numerals! How dare they teach those in school. Back in my day we just had to learn the 1 2 3’s.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.
That's why conservatives avoid it at all costs.
Just for knowledge purposes for others (good joke) -
Hindu-Arabic numerals. Arabic numerals is the Eurocentric nomenclature.
Both Fibonacci and Al-Khwarizmi cited mathematicians and philosophers from the subcontinent in their works but somehow this got lost in Western historiography until more recently.
For those interested - Al Khwarizimi wrote Kitāb al-Hisāb al-Hind (The Book of Indian Calculation) around 825 CE. Fibonacci came across the method 400 years later while in North Africa and wrote Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation) in 1202 referring to the number system as the Modus Indorum (method of the Indians).
How the original source got lost along the way is hard to say but some degree of colonial revisionist history likely had a role to play.

NYC should have basically no crime because Spider-Man lives there
If no crime was ever committed then what would Spiderman be doing all day??
Do you want Spiderman to go unemployed????

So what I'm getting from this is that Sharia Law works? The Christian Nationalists are gonna be so upset.
Didn’t all the far right fascists said they would leave New York if he is elected? Might explain the low crime.
This is almost entirely due to the fact that January was frigid. It's pretty well documented that cold temperatures reduce crime.
"safest January on record" implies that the stats are being compared to the same time period of different years, no? Was this January that much colder than average?
This was the coldest January in about a decade.
Well, that'll do it. Thanks, wasn't sure
I've gotta be cozy when I'm breaking laws, I'm a comfort kind of guy.
The coldest January since the teens, and this kind of crime always decreases when it’s freezing out. The real measurement is how many crime free days in a row did nyc have?

Wild that Mamdani is doing so much to separate himself from the smooth-talking Obamas of the world.
LOVE IT
It was also a ridiculously cold January, which always suppresses crime. Criminals don't like to go out in the cold.
To be fair to the criminals, neither do I
Thats a nice stat to start the term off, is there are policy responsible for this? Low crime is super important for increased public transport usage. In my city we are currently dealing with high violent crime on public transport and its horrible.
is there are policy responsible for this?
Probably just a result of the snow. No way any policies got implemented that fast.
You mean to tell me the xenophobic fear mongering wasn't based in reality? Unheard of. Next you'll tell me the TSA doesn't actually stop terrorists.
Woke sharia putting in the work.
Can't wait for Jizyah to be implemented on white libs mashallah
