  • My money’s on this. But: tldr; if city workers know he’s trying to do good, and find out old money is fucking with him, his support will strengthen in a way we’ve not seen in a long time.

    So, having worked for the city years ago, I also know it’s a system full of people he was directly talking to with affordability. They’re on-board with him, if he starts delivering the goods in a public way. Ways to get good food for cheap for everyone, raising wages, getting a cap on crime and helping the homeless. That’s all people want.

    With that in mind, if it is revealed that even a couple of billionaires is working to trash those efforts in a coordinated manner, suddenly the people of NYC have both a guy trying to do right by them, and a powerful enemy to rally against. There aren’t enough cops to deal with people dropping bricks off rooftops, every street becomes a potential ‘interaction’… think a version of “the warriors”, but it’s regular folks vs the recognized billionaires. Heh, one can dream, anyway.

    What’ll happen, ultimately? I dunno. But the ingredients for something special are in place.
