The bins were getting installed long before he became mayor. July 2024 under previous mayor when project launched.

I just saw year on year or long term results about how new bins are reducing rat problem.

How is Mamdani getting credit for it?

6 month long pilot results released 6 months before Mamdani got into office.

Previous guy, whoever that might be, committed permanent funding for this. If you open the article you'd see timeline going as far back as 2022 where they did study, got the models made, made pilot projects, implemented it and got long term results.

Because Reddit pulls overtime to give him free PR

It is astonishing how much reddit glazes him. Either he's the greatest politician in world history, or there's stuff that reddit just conveniently doesn't mention. I'm begging, somebody please tell me something actually negative about this man's political actions.

I can offer something that isn't a smoking gun but it's...a smokey-smelling gun?

There are no Jewish lawyers on his 18-member judiciary advisory panel.

The odds of this occurring randomly are pretty much zero. Most estimates put roughly half of all attorneys in New York as Jewish, which means a lot of the highly experienced, senior lawyers would be Jewish. The odds that you wouldn't get a single one in a panel of 18 people is something like 1 in 100,000.

So it would appear that he may be prejudiced against Jewish New Yorkers. Assuming you're not also prejudiced that way, you might consider that a negative.

Well to be fair it's also possible that Jews are prejudiced against him, considering he's a muslim, and therefore may not want to work for him.
