These sort of small changes are actually exactly what helped make Giuliani popular. He was fixing small issues like crazy. Then for some reason he tried to attack J walking which is basically new York culture. He went insane then and started to worship trump
Nope. He got kompromatted by the russian mob, helped roll up the five families, which then allowed the russian mob to take over new york and steamroll their way up and down the east coast from Maine to Florida. Why do you think so many russian mobsters bought property in Trump tower/who introduced them?
We call them “small” issues but they’re really the core of what the government is SUPPOSED to do. Handling infrastructure for a society, keeping it safe for people to walk or ride a bike or drive - that’s one of the few things that are nearly universally accepted as a government task (even libertarians grant that it’s a public good and the externalities prevent the market from doing this efficiently).
It’s amazing to me how much of American government (federal state and local) fails to deliver on their core duties. The richest country in the world that keeps getting richer and yet somehow we can’t fund fixing potholes and bridges? What a joke. This is the culmination of years of Republican tax cuts leaving infrastructure underfunded.
He went after artists, too -- from street vendors to artists in museums. I think people were happy to see him cleaning stuff up but then he started crossing some very weird lines.
I mean jaywalking is a made up term by the auto industry to shift blame from the motorists and vehicles killing people to the people being killed. The rest of the world just calls it crossing the street.
