But ham-handed efforts to use taxpayer resources for we’re-doing-a-great-job propaganda won’t do much
good, especially when the order inevitably leaks ( first to Gothamist ) and the video’s warm “everyone is

This story reflects the tragedy that has befallen NYC today. After being devastated by COVID-
9, and in the aftermath of George Floyd, voters were desperately hoping for Adams to chart a
ath of economic and social recovery. He has, instead, done the complete opposite. Not even
through his term, this FOOL has pretty much bankrupted NYC and sown the seeds for
unrest. The worst tragedy here is that the impacts of his disastrous migrant policies
be felt until years and decades to come, long after he is voted out of office.
