This is just the beginning of the crap this bum will be laying on New Yorkers, but when you freely elect a Communist what else can you expect?

Solar powered carriages, maybe ones that plug into

Horses have been work animals and pulling carriages for centuries. Now these horses will be sent to slaughter, who can afford to keep them?
