I sure hope not. I can't quite put a finger on why, but I've got a suspicion he thinks of NYC as a shiny new toy that he can experiment with to try this or that brand-new policy. I've had it up to here with politicians experimenting with my life this year. No thank you.

No, not that. He just keeps coming up with new off the wall ideas every week. Hey, let's make everyone get vaccine passports! Hey, let's automate more jobs and claim it's inevitable! Hey, let's give the MTA a bigger hole in its budget to encourage tourism! I can't wait for him to decide it's time to experiment with the school system... not.

Never mind that he can and has left NYC when the going gets tough, so I don't for a minute believe he gets how real NYers live. We'll get Bloomberg-level cluelessnes and who knows what policies. Nah.

The city doesn't have the money to implement that kind of giveaway. Only the feds, with the power to actually create money, could pull that off.

Nope! I don’t think it will happen. Is likely to be Stringer if is not Eric Adams.

So far, yes. I haven't really heard much chatter from the other candidates...I mean even Yang I would expect to hear more out of.

The Fed doesn't create money, it prints it and its acceptable as a mode pf payment.

If you can't put your finger on it... then maybe it's not true?

I'm voting for him BECAUSE he thinks outside the box. We don't need career politicians like Stringer or Adams; if they were good, they would've made a difference already.
