NYC Mayor Eric Adams ethers low skilled workers

[Soundwave]

he had a good run, but its over

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Yep, dont go down the skill level rabbit hole.


And there are plenty of qualified candidates that are overlooked and have to take lesser jobs in the interim. "Corner office folks" arent irreplaceable. There are fewer that can do those jobs but they are replaceable.

And people in school who work these jobs

People who lost their better jobs, and took these jobs to survive

People who graduated, and need these jobs until they get a better job

It’s classist to assume everyone in these positions can’t do better.

can't believe after all the shyt we went through with covid and seeing "low skilled workers" doing their part to keep the economy alive, that people still have these debates or even frame these debates in terms of skill.

it's not just wrong, it's completely the opposite.

what office skills are difficult to acquire? mf'ers acting like using excel is some god-given talent. 95% of it is politics and ass-kissing.

the fact is, those white-collar types couldn't last a day doing those 'low-skilled' jobs, countless tv shows of CEOs dressing up in disguise and getting shyt on by some random warehouse manager because they can't keep up prove that.

That man ain’t no Liberal.

NY will never get an actual liberal again

Liberals would never approve allowing restaurants (private businesses) to permanently take up space on streets with these dumb ass shacks that attract rats and vermin

This is the NeoLiberal Faux Progressive Era and it signals the end of NYC

Real skills are seen amongst higher professionals in office settings and skilled labor jobs imo

What you guys are saying here would apply to Mayor Adams if he retired at the same rank he was when he entered the force. He retired as a Captain. Literally picked up certs. and rank along the way.

Also, he has a Master's degree from Marist.

He put his foot in his mouth with comment, but let's not revise history.

A captain in the police force doesn’t mean you’re skilled; it means you made connections and passed a test. He has a Masters degree, but 99 percent of police officers do not.

sure. But he is an outlier. Cops are low skilled city employees. Usually with remedial education and elementary common sense.

lets also acknowledge his lack of perspective. The fact you call the back-bone of this city low-skilled and not include your brotherhood.

fukk him.

Most office work is easier than most physical labor

Dudes feeling himself too much and thinks he's a fast talker so is making rookie mistakes. Saying completely unnecessary shyt.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

That’s the answer above you from that poster ^^. I agree.

I can’t speak for everybody but as for me, I’m waiting for him to pop off on the wrong person where he meets his eventual demise via a scandal and bows disgracefully from office by the same people who pull
that political puppet’s strings. He’s already coming at the big bank/financial powerhouses like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs- Adams is alienating everyone. Trying to control every aspect of his administration and every aspect of people’s lives never ends well. Not only that- but he talks too much, road to his own implosion.


“The real estate developer David Schwartz had invited associates to meet Mr. Adams — and cut him a check — at his company’s Manhattan offices. Mr. Adamsdelivered a short stump speech, He raised $20,000 that day, records show.

Mr. Schwartz’s company, Slate Property Group, had recently sought city permission to erect a tower in Downtown Brooklyn nearly twice as tall as zoning allowed. Six months after the fund-raiser, Mr. Adams endorsed Slate’s zoning change, despite objections from the local community board.

Mr. Adams, 60, a former police officer who is among the leading candidates in the June Democratic primary for mayor, has termed money the “enemy of politics” and called for complete public financing of campaigns. Yet his dealings with Mr. Schwartz offer but one example of how, across his 15 years in elected office, he has used government power to benefit donors and advance his political ambitions.”

Tells me most of what I needed to know.

He's not a liberal. He is extremely unpopular with liberals.

Try again comrade.

He wouldn’t have won the primary if he was unpopular with liberals.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

He wouldn’t have won the primary if he was unpopular with liberals.

Not necessarily true....the voter participation rate for this election was pretty low and he won by like less than a percentage point

He was definitely the only choice for some people when it came to him vs Silva (nutjob), but in the Primary? Yang took up space and then there was infighting and mudslinging amongst the other candidates

 

[The War Report]

We could of had Maya Wiley, but instead we elect this fukking bozo cop. They’re all the same no matter what.
