Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires and the very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling and blocking NYC traffic.

Treat sycophant billionaires just like Trump treats sycophants. Power and money are the only things they understand

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @notyourfanboy @QasimRashid that screed has so many winners.

“I consider the phrase ‘tax the rich’ [...] to be just as hateful as [...] the phrase from the ‘river to the sea,'”

"it is the 1 percent that makes 50 percent of New York’s income taxes"

@glnfld @nf3xn @BruceMirken @QasimRashid

Are the Guardian and Gothamist trolls too, because they said the same thing. Are you suggesting Mamdani didn't cut housing and education funding?

Just a moment...

(gothamist.com)

Mamdani pledged affordable New York housing in his campaign. How is that going?

Mayor’s decision to appeal court order that the city must expand its housing voucher program has angered advocates for the homeless

@HakeemG @BruceMirken @QasimRashid literally you:

@evan @notyourfanboy @QasimRashid

Yup

"it is the 1 percent that makes 50 percent of New York’s income taxes"

Time to keep doubling that tax rate

[hakeemg@mastodon.social]

@alihan_banan @BruceMirken @QasimRashid

Rage bait? When you tell the truth about Mamdani's education and housing cuts.

@QasimRashid Curiously fining Amazon delivery trucks reminds me of a story I heard about the Stoneman Meadow Riots in Yosmite in 1970. There was a guy - Berkeley grad student as I recall - who was working as a ranger over the summer. At one point the FBI parked cars illegally as part of a crackdown. He grinned and said, "I've never written a ticket before!" and proceeded to ticket the FBI. No idea of how accurate it is, but that is funny.

Thanks JoeWo
@joewo

Jeff Bezos thinks people are
‘vilifying the rich.’ Bro, you're
one of the richest people
on earth and 1/3 of your
warehouse workers rely on
government assistance for
basic needs like food and rent.
You ARE the villain.

I like Mamdani for the most part, but I'm doing to him what his base does to other Democrats.

$9 million for a company the size of Amazon is less than the change you'd find in the sofa cushions on Bezos' yacht.
