Just to update you on the idiocy of New York's mayor.
First, he stops the donations of food to shelters because they don't meet the criteria of healthy food. FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE!!!!!
who have NOTHING to eat.
So, on principle, they have to starve instead of eating fatty and salty food, or they can get food that the city, which has no money, has to pay for.
Issue 2. They have no money because they spend, i think the number was 17 million on overtime for those crackpots living in the parks downtown. Instead of throwing them out after the first week, like he should have done.
So in order to get money, this cretin VETOES a bill that would have given a five minute grace period to drivers trying to put money on a muni meter, and ensure that a ticket for an upside down tag is dismissed if the appropriate time was paid for. His reasoning was as follows:
That a traffic enforcement cop would not give a ticket to someone who was at the meter trying to get it to work ( I have stood there for over 5 minutes trying to get my credit card to work sometimes). This presupposes that the traffic cops are not the laziest city employees on the planet, and cant be bothered to actually look, check to see if someone is attempting a transaction, and go over to them to ask which is their car. Trust me, its NEVER gonna happen.
Then they say they started writing the ticket, so the heck with you .
But his best logic? That people are going to pay for the meter AFTER they get the ticket, and avoid paying when they park, so the law is flawed.
This has got to be the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard a government official claim, which is really saying something. Let's see, someone parks for an hour, and STANDS AROUND waiting for a traffic cop to write him a ticket, and THEN quickly, WITHIN 5 MINUTES goes and buys time. Does this make any sense??? The slim chance that someone will show up just when they are getting a ticket and game the system is the reason why the idiot vetoed the law.
Actually, it is just another way for him to tax the heck out of anyone in New York.
Until it is only him left. And a bicycle.

I appreciate your disgust with the man who subverted democracy for his own political gain, and I am no fan of his.
However, I feel "cretin" is too strong a term for a man who is widely philanthropic, and gives a lot of money to a lot of charities.
fbb, a cretin is a stupid, obtuse, or mentally defective person. Giving charity doesn't indicate intelligence. on the other hand making billions of dollars through innovation and ingenuity doesn't jive with cretin status, so it's a tossup.
