The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Being a Mayor is a relatively straightforward job. You have four (4) jobs to do, in fact, in no particular order. Even the most calcified, dyed-in-wool liberal commie on this board will agree with 3 of these:

1. Fix potholes
2. Lock up criminals (<--- this is the one the left hates, but that's beside the point)
3. Pick up the trash
4. Plow the snow.

Up here in Seattle, we had a reliable leftist goober Mayor who was undone because he was utterly incompetent at #4. Guess who else is falling down on the job for both #3 and #4?

Good 'ol Zohran!

A week after the snowstorm and this is what we got Zoron the Shoveler!
Filthy black snow, garbage soup, ice rinks on every corner, cars buried like fossils.
People slipping, breaking ankles, nobody shoveling, nobody salting, nobody doing SH*T.
This is New York City.
Three minutes from the mayor’s house.
Start spreading the news… this place is a dirty snow covered dump.


See jobs Number 3 and Number 4 above.

Well-known actress and conservative firebrand Debra Messing (lol, she's quite the opposite) weighs in:

Sitting in a taxi trying to get to an appointment. Should take 20 minutes, we are at an hour and ten minutes and counting. The streets are a disaster. It hasn’t snowed in 5 days and the streets still haven’t been cleared. Poor ambulance sitting in aessentially a parking lot with sirens going. I’m praying for the person needing emergency care.

I’ve lived here for 15 years (this go around) and this has never happened. The plows have always worked around the clock to get the city back to working.

I wonder what happened? 😏


Indeed.

Mass dummyism is what happened. When you elect useless nepo baby Communists to jobs miles above their IQ grade, this is what you get.

Here in Seattle, our Useless Nepo Baby Communist is clearing out homeless camps...near the apartment that her parents pay for. In the rest of the city? Not so much.

Elect liberals. Watch your cities fail.
