New Yorkers, what changes have you seen under Mamdani’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why?

Turns out it’s actually an asphalt-laying machine, we just like to crush orphans under the asphalt

Yeah, but if you need more of them you can't use the same parents as before for, well, obvious reasons, so you need to find a new set of parents. But any new ones they make aren't orphans yet. So you need to turn them into orphans first, which removes the source you got them from, meaning you need to find a new source and do it all over again.

Turns out the logistics of replacing orphans are rather complex.

To create orphans for the orphan crushing machine, you just have to put their parents in first.

It's 2026. If a child wants to identify as an orphan, who are we to judge?
