Y'all remember How It Should Have Ended? Back when Tron: Legacy was coming out, they did a HISHE on the original 1982 TRON. It was hilarious, but my favorite part (which I still repeat today sometimes) is at the very end when Flynn just types "UNINSTALL" and deletes the MCP. He says, "...OK guys, I did it...i-it was really easy..."

I feel like so far Mamdani's administration is just...that, but repeated daily over eight months.

So filthy streets are capitalism now?

All these threads are hilarious.

Dude gets elected to the job of running the city and actually RUNS the city and everyone's shocked.

Like take a step back and realize that if actually having potholes fixed and garbage collected is 'new' maybe you all need to stop re-electing the same loser assholes year after year.

I don't want to fall into the trap of hero worship but yeah, this seems like what mayors should always be doing.

Not to rain on everyone's parade, but this is not Mamdani's initiative, though of course he is making the correct choice in continuing it.

Don't misunderstand me, I hate that corrupt piece of shit Adams, but the truth is important anyway.

Has NYC finally quit it with their stupid idea of just letting trash bags sit on the street? This is something that basically every other city in the world has figured out.

This has had actually been in the works for a while, it’s not like he just materialized this out of nowhere.

But, it has been constantly getting delayed and put through “trials”. So, it actually getting implemented is good.

The best part is seeing idiots who want any excuse to attack a DSA politician trying to argue that loose trash bags are better than dumpsters. Like, trying to make the concept of dumpsters a culture war issue is hilarious.

What were previous NYC mayors doing?

Making money serving the Epstein class.

The last one was spending the majority of his time taking bribes and doing crimes. Funny how no one really talks about how Eric Adams is now legally a citizen of Albania.

Still can't believe he's gotten away scott free, but I guess he did warn that "All my haters become my waiters when I sit down at the table of success"

I love how the only arguments people have against them is "they're ugly" and "they'll take away parking spots" as if piles of trash bags look better, and NYC doesn't already have an expansive public transit network with plans to increase bus service.

One of the other mayors was doing exactly this. Large municipal projects take time. This project, which includes large on-street municipal garbage bins, and new residential garbage cans, was started under Mamdani's predecessor. This is an Eric Adams project that is only reaching the point of installations during Mamdani's tenure.

Mamdani is great and all, but he's not the one solely responsible for every good thing that happens in NY.

Not a NYC dweller here, but what in the world constitutes a "modern" trash bin? Isn't a bin a bin? Do the bins drive around picking up trash autonomously? Did NYC just not have them at all or something?

Best not ask what Ghouliani was doing, bad for your mental health

corruption. they were lining their pockets with corruption.

Probably what all other politicians usually do: Fill their pockets with money and power

What were the other mayors even doing?

Taking kickbacks and speed running corruption.

Giving money to billionaires is exchange of almost no benefit to the people of the city

Socialist Communist Mamdani is genociding the Rat majority population of New York by wiping out their food supply /s

Well if Rudy was anything to go by, trying to bang underage girls and sweating away the last vestiges of their credibility in a landscaping company forecourt.

What were the other mayors even doing?

What 98% of government officials do. Figuratively and/or physically rape us.

If public anything is socialist, then every nation on Earth has always been and is socialist.

I think that's a little too broad of a definition, but I'm not a political scientist.

p.s. NYC always stank like garbage and urine in summer, nice to see some progress. Maybe weld a urinal onto the new garbage bins?
