  1. I've lived in NYC for 47 years. And in less than 4 years DeBlasio has turned NYC into a hell hole reminiscent of the NYC of the 1970s and 1980s I grew up in as a kid. Critical Question: Why would rich and working people want to come to NYC? It has the highest taxes in the nation, and some of the highest rents in the nation, and the mayor and the governor have turned the city into a shit show. Crime is at an all time high due to bail reform, and people are getting shot like it's the 1980s. Not to mention nickel and dime taxes like the 5 cent bag tax. And the BOTCHED Coronavirus reaction that has crippled small business will do economic damage to NYC for at least a decade. There's no incentive for anyone with wealth and the means to come to NYC. Now that people can telecommute they have no incentive to go to cities like NYC for work. They can take free-lance gigs from their homes anywhere.

  2. I'm a lifelong resident of NYC and if I could move out of this shithole tomorrow, I'd be GONE. Paying 75% of your income for rent in a city that's worse than it was in the dark days of the 1970s and 1980s is CRAZY. I'd rather be someplace else than deal with the crime, the blighted neighborhoods and the craziness. You can get a whole house with backyards and room to spare in most parts of the country on a $50K salary.

  3. DeBlasio's policy leaves money on the table. When you leave money on the table, somebody is gonna go make that money. That leaves the city opens for Black Markets and more crime . This mandates doesn't encourage people to take the COVID Vacccine. All they do is divide people and lead to them not wanting to support vaccination. Instead of polarizing people, they just need to ask people to wear masks. That deals with the Delta in the short term.

  4. A legacy of failure. He's surpassed Abe Beame, Ed Koch and David Dinkins as worst mayor of NYC. He turned a thriving city into a 1980s shithole.

  5. Still using a 2012 Macbook Pro with 16GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive upgrade. Apple engineering was better from 2009-2016. Apple laptops were easy to upgrade the memory and hard drive. Yeah, M1 processor is fast and the battery life is good, but they are not user upgradeable. Not a fan of the memory and hard drive soldered to the motherboard. Also not a fan of the removal of the USB ports. That's why I'd rather stick with an older Macbook than a newer one. A $600 MBP 2012 15 maxed out performs as well as a $2500 13 inch MBP. I wish Apple would go back to producing affordable $1099 Macbook Pros Like I bought in 2011. Had that machine for over a decade and built a business and a YouTube channel on it.

  7. Vaccine mandate biting NYC in the ass. Coulda had billions in tax revenue had Adams not imposed a vaccine mandate that kept a million people out of work close to a year.

  8. Can we please go back to the era of Giuliani and Pataki?

  9. Deblasio shit on business owners with this mandate. He shuts us down for over a year then demands we ask for vaccination cards. Most businesses are struggling to pay rent and this kind of policy is gonna run struggling businesses out of business. Enough is enough.
