Mounds of Snow and Trash Are Just the Opening Act of Mamdani’s Collectivist New York
Images out of New York City this week have gone viral, and they are doing more to project the city’s future than any campaign speech ever could.
They show piles of trash sitting curbside and piles of snow still frozen nearly two weeks after a storm. They show a city struggling with completing tasks that should be routine.
This is what New Yorkers are seeing as Mayor Zohran Mamdani begins to warm his seat in City Hall.
According to WABC-TV in New York, sanitation crews fell behind after heavy snow and deep cold slowed cleanup efforts across the city. Trash piled up in multiple neighborhoods.
Only in NYC would they not remove the snow but spread it around so everyone endures the same slick sidewalks. Socialist Snow Plowing in action under Mayor Mamdani. pic.twitter.com/BWzgnuLT5x
