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.

And of course it's just not the snow: the trash isn't being picked up either.

nypost.com - Mayor mamdanis gracie mansion noticeably trash free as ues neighbors drown in foot piles of garbage

Mayor Mamdani’s Gracie Mansion noticeably trash-free as UES neighbors drown in 8-foot piles of garbage

Side note: the Upper East Side likely went for Zohran by 40 points, so there's some rough justice here.

Mayor Mamdani’s New York has become the city that never sweeps.

Eight-foot-high piles of rat-infested trash are choking the streets around Gracie Mansion — while Hizzoner’s new home has gotten the white-glove shoveling treatment.

Mamdani has meanwhile crowed that he can’t “imagine how it could get better’’ in the city, even as more and more New Yorkers are blasting the lack of “collectivism” in the Big Apple.

The mayor’s Upper East Side neighbors are being forced to trudge through garbage-plagued streets, roaming rodents and mounds of snow tainted with dog pee a full week after Winter Storm Fern.

Blocks away, the sidewalks outside the lefty mayor’s digs on East 88th Street are squeaky clean.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw yesterday — a whole army of sanitation workers plowing and shoveling every bit of snow off of that side of the street,” local Nick Rivers griped to The Post on Sunday as he walked his black Lab along a littered sidewalk near the mayor’s residence.
