Sure sure sure, but did the government make any profit from doing this?
Business owners whose vehicles now need less repair and maintenance: “This is unacceptable“
"Garmin GPS announces next update to bring back missing potholes by playing bang.mp3 without any user input destination needed..."
Suspension and tire shops across NYC are sobbing
There's a corner gas episode where the small town gets upset after a pothole is filled because it helps reduce the speed of traffic and a speed bump is too fancy
Fucking socialist, wasting money on things people need.
I know you're joking, but it is so depressing that this is EXACTLY how so many government officials think and how so many constituents have been brainwashed to think.
and, equally if not more depressingly, governments can make waaay more money by TAXING THE FUCKING RICH!
The typical conservative response to that is "but then they'll take their businesses elsewhere and now you get nothing."
The typical conservative response also fails to even consider just how difficult, expensive, and risky it is to move a large business to an entirely new region. Real estate has to be purchased and sold, employees have to be relocated or replaced, logistics have to be established in the new region, valuable business connections and contracts will have to be severed, and for brick and mortar businesses, the competitive landscape will be different.
Car infrastructure doesn't need to make a profit don't you know? Its just public transport that needs be a net gain for the city
New campaign slogan:
Zohran, he'll fill all your holes.
I wish those movies were still funny today. They were so great in their time.
They aged terribly
I'm so glad someone finally had the bravery and moral courage to take on the scourge of...Austin Powers movies. Truly this is the cause of our time.
Yeah, agreed on all counts 😕
Zohran the Hole Destroyer.
Can my city borrow Mamdani for a couple months?
This guy seems like he’s off to a great start.
And who would have thought paying people to provide services would work? I’m shocked!
He’s young enough that, once he’s done in NYC, he could go off and be mayor of several other cities afterward.
I think that's called a governor
The pot hole that Governor Kathy Hochul filled once she ~~was elected to~~ took office was finally issuing cannabis stores and farms licenses to grow and sell two years after weed was legalized in New York State, after Cuomo refused to, that corrupt, ass-grabbing jerk.
And thank you very much for providing me the incredibly rare opportunity to use that pun. I’ve been sitting on that for so very long.
Crazy what not settling for less when it comes to public office will do for you for once.
Great things happen when the wealthy pay their fair share.
This is exactly why they never want us to see it happen.
Of course.
Actual uplifting news and it's something Zohran Mamdani did. Sucks that this guy isn't eligible for the presidency.
Trump won't be eligible in next election and I'm certain that won't stop him from trying. Why can't we do the same?
...because Zohran Mamdani isnt already the president and isnt being supported by the richest men in the world and is actively being worked against.
This should be in every Mayoral job-orientation handbook.
The problem is, you see; hardly anyone reads books these days.
I have dozens of books (that warn exactly, with instructions) on how to avoid this exact situation.
wow, its almost like socialism can benefit society.
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.
Ever since the day I first saw him I knew this was a man who can fill a hole
I mean I know he's a ladies man, but seriously, 8000 in a day? Hats off, Mamdani. Don't forget the electrolyte drinks.
This is good but cis people still need to push him to keep his promise on protecting trans people that he made during the campaign and stand up to Mount Sinai and Langone.

Turns out you can improve both public transit and driving! It was sort of being implied by haters that driving was going to get way worse under him IIRC.
Makes you wonder what Eric Adams was doing all day
Fraud. At a break-neck pace.
Should've used rats to fill them in. .
Boom, two birds, one stone.
I should be mayor. Amateurs.
Can he please fill the pot hole in my heart next?
