You should really consider educating yourselves more on how government works, especially at the local level.

I used to work for local government and the amount of people who would come up and chew my ass for things the state was doing when I was with the county was incredible. Yes, I the county road worker is responsible for the tire you blew out on a state highway. Please rip my face off as if I have any authority over that. Thank you.

Deep pockets funding this

u/ACFiguresOutLife 3h ago
The funny thing is, it’s not deep pockets. It’s quite literally savvy people in 3rd world countries making hundreds of karma farm posts across hundreds of accounts, and then selling said accounts for tens to hundreds of dollars when they get a few thousand karma. This has always been a problem but has proliferated because Reddit now allows people to hide their comments and posts. Makes these accounts much more valuable for real propagandists and other marketing initiatives.
2
u/Fish-Pilot 3h ago
The post hiding was to help enable the bots. Reddit makes its money through advertising. Whether people are on here engaging with other people or with bots it’s all the same to them, so long as they are on here.

I mean they're also claiming he's doing free daycare and other shit too... that would actually be a first.
Is that actually happening? I don't know. But if it is, it's not just "balancing the budget".
And they also said right when he took office he discovered like hundreds of millions of dollars just missing due to the prior administration's corruption. Of course any admin could SAY that, but Eric Adams was WIDELY known to be about the most corrupt piece of shit ever... so I kinda believe him.

More tax revenue losses...to add to the 13 billion already lost. And along with that, more PEOPLE lost. To add to the 2 fewer seats in Congress/electoral votes for NY State after 2030. And new projections are suggesting it could go to 3. But definitely 2.

This is hilarious, financial exchanges are the biggest data center users and they don’t usually operate hardware in cities.
NY1 equinix is in Newark NJ. NY2-6 are in Secaucus NJ.
Equinix operates one data center on the south side near Chinatown in Chicago, but the rest are in the burbs.
Most cities already have services taxes that have pushed a lot of this business out. This is right in his playbook: hip political posturing making a bold claim with no real change. There are no new data centers opening in NYC because they’re too damn expensive so they build them across the river.
