Just when it seemed Bloomberg was the worst...

[ljbab728]

I'm sure Mr. Bloomberg is devastated that you don't agree with his philosophy!

I suspect that everyone who lives in NYC is also very concerned about Garin's thoughts.

I certainly would be! Although I don't know why since I'm not concerned with them now and don't really consider them 'thoughts'.

Of course, most of Garin's thoughts come from what he reads in "The Blaze".

Reading? I figured it was just copy & pasting without doing anything else. I mean...no link to the original content is ever provided most of the time. No additional commentary is ever with the original content - just snide remarks, bashing, or other trolling activities about 17 responses later against those that are sharing their thoughts.

That's true, he rarely seems to have any thoughts or original commentary other than a copy and paste. I also think that this proposal about the horses is ludicrous in any case. There are adequate safeguards in place. Does anyone know if OKC has any ordinances that apply to horse carriages here?

Completely agree. Let them stay. If they are impacting traffic too much, find ways to accommodate them in line a dedicated lane that bikes can also use.

Bloomberg the worst? No way as long as there's msnbc and nbc.

No way at all. At least Bloomberg as a sense of objectivity.

Please elaborate on what connection there might be between Bloomberg and a television network, except nothing. LOL

[Prunepicker]

Told you.

Exactly.

Exactly.

It's New Years Day...just have pity for one day and walk away.

I agree completely with his list actually, deer creek dad. Do you ever have anything to contribute other than your accusations that I don't ?

What? You are agreeing with someone who you called a communist? I guess we just found out that Garin is a communist himself - if he's agreeing with everything Bloomberg did. At least we got that sorted out.

I called de Blasio a commie..... Are your eyes going along with your memory......it's a two page thread and the statement is from page one.

Ahhh my mistake. I guess it is bound to happen when someone just posts random links/text with out fully expressing their opinions on what they are posting and to whom its directed. My apologies for not understanding the inner workings of your mind.

Because it's not allowed and those that throw the stones have never done the same? I can't can't wait till I'm old and senile.

ITs going to be interesting to see if businesses begin to flee NYC for CT, Jersey, the burbs or other parts of the country based on what the new mayor tries to do.

Nah misery loves company.... It wouldn't shock me if OKC starts losing residents to NYC though.

There was an article this last weekend (I think in the NY Times but may have been WSJ) about Bloomberg. He only took one dollar a year in salary and spent approx. $265 million dollars to be mayor. He liked exotic fish so he had salt water tank installed at city hall in which he paid for and the upkeep. Almost all of his travel related to city business was on his private jet that he paid for. He liked to nosh so paid for snacks and light lunch for his office and staff every day. Lived in his own mansion but still donated money for the mayor's mansion to be renovated. Made lots of donations to city programs. Lots of stuff like that. Like him or hate him...he put his money up instead of just talking about ways to improve city

Let me know what it's like, you'll probably be there well before me.

Wiki says he has a net worth on $31B. Him spending $265M is less than 1% of his net worth. That would be the equivalent of someone with a net worth of $100,000 spending about $850.

May be true but still didn't have to do it and didn't have to take only $1 for a salary.

Probably none. Despite Bloomberg's policies, New York real estate never really declined, employment rebounded fairly quickly after the meltdown, and construction and development is huge. People still want to live in and operate businesses in NYC.

Posts like this always make me laugh.
