Balancing a budget is simple math. Its addition and subtraction. Bigger numbers doesn’t make it more complicated.

The “city” is the size of many nations, by metrics other than landmass. He has an amazing array of arrows in his quiver just because of the sheer size of his economy. The NYPD has 34,700 member, Border Patrol only has 21,000 members after their unprecedented surge.

Short term vs long term that is where you will see the difference.

1. I've written a few times about Mamdani and what he can do for trans people to uphold his promises. But there are disingenuous people who apparently do not read articles, so I figured I would lay out his power and what other trans journos want him to do here directly and what is in his power.

Then the latter will be either positive or indifferent towards the change and then changes can happen. And when you just change the taxation and give the people who perform that task enough time to do it, it will fly.

So maybe he is doing just that. He looks like one who listens to people he works with.

I also work in the administration. So this is an inside view. There are two major forces in an administration. The solution oriented group and the problem oriented group. The latter hates changes of all sorts. They will even sabotage change and use the frustrated majority to block things.

However, a politician can engage with the solution oriented people and be transparent about his/her goals for ...

when fucking Adams came after DeBlasio and spent 4 years licking MAGA and Trump taint and stalling fiscal changes we’ve needed since the 1990s, that was it for.

so nobody is putting up a fight
