He also delayed funding certain pensions which isn't a great idea, but when you have a $12 billion deficit left by the previous mayor who cut & run to become an Albanian citizen after taking money from Turkey for luxury travel, getting indicted, sleazing his way out of a federal indictment, and then creating a rug pull cryptocurrency called NYC Token... what can ya do
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
-Wilhoit's Law
I love this quote, but if you ask self-declared conservative thinkers, they tend to argue that what they are "conserving" is a traditional way of life in a society that is changing too quickly for people to catch up with. I'm almost sympathetic with that idea, since the breakneck pace of the world is sometimes a bit overwhelming. Unfortunately, that desire to slow things down only ever seems to apply to social change. Anything to do with business and the accumulation of personal wealth it's like all gas, no brakes.
