RE:

These will be banned...
And since NYC government is unpredictable, I don't know if this will be banned as well...

Donald Trump should run for Mayor of NYC and give these control freaks a reality check.

This guy is a total idiot. He says it adds $20 to the cost of recycling per ton because they have to remove it from the recycling stream. Hey, here’s an idea - don’t mess with the reycling part of it.

Let me guess, the businesses that are building new parking lots.
On a related note, where will the electricity be generated for said chargers. Let me guess, not solar or wind, but the eeeeevil Indian Point.

I’m surprised Bloomturd hasn’t insisted that the name be changed to “Native American Point”.

RE: eeeeevil Indian Point.
There’s a serious push to close this Nuclear Power Plant.
Problem: It supplies nearly a quarter of NYC’s power. They have not even come close to identifying a feasible replacement.

‘And exactly who is going to pay for the electricity?’
And exactly who is going to use the parking spaces?

...a curbside food-composting pilot program...
The rats are going to love that!
The city already smells, this will make it worse...

They are banning drink and medicine coolers? Picnickers will be arrested? Fined? Have cops come and grab their hot cups and coolers? Has Yogi Bear been enlisted for this?

He has also outlawed dog-sh*t in the streets and sidewalks. From now on all owners are to send their dog-sh*t in a box to Gracie Mansion so Dumberg will have something to eat.

In his youth, Bloomturd wore a styrofoam cup when he played ice hockey. That is why he is now suffering from extreme brain damage.
How else can you explain his lunacy?
To: SeekAndFind
Idiot Bloomturd. Styrofoam cups and boxes are the only way people who work outside in this city can get a hot meal in the winter. Go to any construction site and every guy has the foam keeping their steaming food warm.
The ‘turd is so out of touch with working people...

I don’t know who owns Indian Point, however the owners of Vermont Yankee successfully sued the State whey they tried to shut it down recently. VT Yankee supplies somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of the power for VT.
