fox news spin: "woke communist so-called 'mayor' declares war on middle and upper class. also eats christian babies"

That's a bit more like the New York Post. 😉

I could definitely see “Mamdani wants to make doctors pay more for transit” or something

"Muslim Mayor defunds public transit"

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

"Mamdani cut tickets in half, like a magician cuts people in half. Do you want a homicidal wizard running your city?"

This good?

I can see Jesse Waters saying this

It doesn't have to make sense

Gonna be honest, this is the worst best thing I've heard him do.

Income based means testing policy is awful. I'd have to read more on how it's being implemented. Hopefully just a step towards free transit.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Easy. Im not sure how they did it, but they can just piggyback it off something else like food stamps.

So it could be - All riders who present an EBT card with their legal name on it are eligible for half price.

Is it perfect? No, but it's a damn good and easy step in the right direction.

It's dumb but it's an existing 50% discount program he's just increasing the income limit. Probably the best thing about this is drawing attention to the program since most of the people eligible don't know it exists.

Thanks. That's definitely better than I thought. That it was existing I mean. Doing all the infra required to add a means tested program did not sound like a Mamdani style policy. But just making it a less strict means test is a step in the right direction. Just better quality of life changes over and over from Mamdani. He's really selling sewer socialism well to New York.

I like how even the articles that try to put a negative spin on his work always show a photo of him smiling.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

It's actually sorta difficult to find a picture of him where he's not talking or smiling. I found this one, and he's kind of unrecognizable:

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

He looks like he's tired of someone's shit.

This is not a negative article it's from an account called "democrats deliver"

[–] Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 23 hours ago

Can he be the Mayor of Buenos Aires instead of the fucking macris?

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Muslim mayor wants to encourage poor people to take the subway. Is he planning future bombings in order to get rid of them?

This is a really good fox news take except most faux news zombies want to kill the poor.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

socialist mayor lures poor new yorkers into citywide surveillance network with cheap transit passes.

[–] Klear@piefed.world 4 points 1 day ago

What a Mamd lad!

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world -2 points 18 hours ago

Well it depends how it was done. Was it done by subsidising the ticket prices of low income earners with tax dollars? Or did the prices just halve because they chose to charge half as much? Where will the lost tax revenue be made up?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

This is awful, now those poor people need to tape their tickets back together!

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

This is already a thing isn’t it?
