I need someone to explain to me exactly how Mamdani manages to sidestep the very bureaucracy that other politicians always blame for their inability to get anything done.

@Strandjunker @petrillic Well I mean he is a city executive with a friendly council so there’s a ton he can do in the city by fiat and very little he can do beyond without hitting those bureaucracies.
But credit to him – he’s using his executive powers very actively and creatively in ways that should embarrass most big city mayors.
@donaldball @Strandjunker @petrillic I think the point about not being able to effect change beyond the city is also a hidden reason. 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.

@edgeofeurope @Strandjunker No, no he wouldn’t. We’re safe. Go ahead.
@Catawu @edgeofeurope @Strandjunker we won’t show him the pictures, the squiggly lines don’t mean anything to him.

@Strandjunker balancing a budget is easy when you rob Peter to pay Paul and hard when you try to actually balance a budget
@Slyence @Strandjunker why? Balancing a budget is simple math. Its addition and subtraction. Bigger numbers doesn’t make it more complicated.
