Trash and rats are piling up as snow stays uncleared, but Mayor Mamdani has more important things to do.

Under socialism, New Yorkers are learning the hard way how fast a city can go downhill.

Garbage filled streets is providing New Yorkers with the Warmth of Collectivism. https://t.co/hewdZHfJKq

It's called Socialist Snow Plowing. pic.twitter.com/LW7EcOJoKe

— New York Post (@nypost) February 4, 2026 Here's one theory as to what is happening:

Mamdani fired all the infrastructure experts to give radicals jobs they can’t even remove snow right lmao 🤣

— 0HOUR1 (@0hour1) February 4, 2026 This is what happened in Venezuela in 2003 in its oil industry. With socialists, it's always monkey-see, monkey-do.

Regardless of whether that is correct or not, here's what Mamdani is focused on:

Too many of our Haitian neighbors are stuck in legal limbo. As the fight over Temporary Protected Status continues, we encourage anyone with TPS to use the city’s free immigration legal support and explore every legal pathway available. Call 800-354-0365 to learn more. pic.twitter.com/GrDjfnuZPS

There was a quote that I tried to find about former New York City Mayor John Lindsay and the early 1970s NYC sanitation crisis. Something along the lines of “he mingled with movies stars while trash piled up on the city streets.” I think the city is about to experience that again.

Mob will move that trash for the right amount.

“…all you need is about 80k people to move their residence and the tax base collapses. Then you can’t afford basic services.“

I recall that that very calculation put the fear of God into Bloomberg when he was mayor. He talked about it as a hard limiter as to what can be done.

I see his compassionate plan. Imagine how warm it is under those piles of trash.
Homeless problem solved. Plus, they would find plenty of snacks while lounging under there.
