And that’s why Mamdani won, he wasn’t promising vague platitudes. He was promising very specific actions that are entirely within the power of the mayor’s office to enact. A lot of his agenda will simply be signing legislation passed by the City Council that Mayor Adams vetoed. He convinced people to vote for him because he not only had a ideas, but a very specific and tangible plan on how to achieve them. And Mamdani’s changes are good.
What made you come to that conclusion? That’s a perfectly fair minimum wage for a place as expensive as NYC. And it could be passed by the city council and signed by the mayor. Adams just vetoed a bill trying to raise the app worker minimum wage to $22/hour or so. $30 is only 1/3 more than this, and Mamdani proposed implementing it over several years. I think you may just be suffering from jealousy, and ignoring that this is in the context of NYC, where $60k/year is not a lot of money.
Trump offered real change. That wasn’t a good thing. Turns out, your changes need to be good
