@neoavatara Mamdani announced a housing plan that aims to target the city's worst landlords and address chronic neglect. The policy seeks to legally remove negligent property managers and transfer ownership of severely distressed buildings to tenants, nonprofits, or community land trusts.
Interesting cultural moment, huh?
@FreddyLA7 guy and his buddies are checking off bucket-list items for other people left and right. Saints practice facility, meeting JJ Watt, personal tour of JSC by an astronaut, getting backstage passes and meeting a rising music star.
I don’t care how great your European trip was that summer in college. Freddy & the boys have won the Greatest Road Trip Of All Time award. Retire his license plate number. Hang a jersey in whatever rental car company HQ he has used.
I wonder how this is being reported in Germany. As generous as Americans are, this is…exceptional.
And how do you top this? How do you go back to being Friedrich from Düsseldorf or wherever? Short of the ship from ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ taking him aboard for a tour of the universe, where do you go from here?
Kind of makes you wonder if there is a Post-Beneficence Stress Disorder? He has got to be dealing with major imposter syndrome.
One really cool thing happening is an upside surprise.
After the fourth lifetime peak VIP experience in a week you cannot help but wonder “Um…why me?”
My expectation is that he will be told, everywhere and by every one:
Thank you for reminding who we are.
Thank you for enjoying the things we enjoy, for seeing things as they are and being honest about how you feel.
We have a national birthday coming up and we weren’t all that excited about it because we are divided and mischaracterized as badly in our own country as we are abroad.
Thank you for being a mirror to show us things that unite us. They may be goofy and overdone, but that’s pretty much who we are…and through your eyes, something we can take pride in.
Freddy is probably a very cool dude if you meet him, but really, this “historical winning streak” is a lot about us and how we want to see ourselves. I am happy for him. And us.
One of the most laughable things on the internet is all the people in our government who have amassed a 39 trillion dollar debt telling us that if they could just tax Elon’s wealth, they could fix everything they have broken. 😂🤡
He wasn't MAGA. He wasn't cruel. His house burned down and his city betrayed him.
So let's crap on him on national TV, says this late-night clown
Please share if you're as sickened by this as I am
