How stupid are New Yorkers? They keep reelecting this moron!

To be fair, that assumes facts not in evidence.

Would he be elected in an honest election?

“Socialist leaders should be locked up in a windowless cell.”


No, shoot them, and then shoot them again just to be sure. Socialists (under various labels, including Communist) have murdered about 150 million people in the last century - and the only protection that the average person has is if the leaders of socialist parties end up like Ceaucescu.

Idiots.]


Thousand dollar monthly winter electric heating bills will see Cuomo’s poll numbers sink below de Blasio’s.

You will see a rise in house fires as well. Since homes not wired for electric heat and used natural gas have smaller services then homes wired for electric heat. Plug in a few of those portable 1500w heaters and most circuits will be over capacity.

Cuomo is an idiot

Things are going to get more expensive up in the cold white north

Question is, will the suburban mom see that the electric bill doubled and the gas bill tripled because of democratic governor’s inability to expand and update the system? Or will they just blame the orange man cause he is bad?

Beyond the cost would be the question as to whether the existing electric transmission/distribution infrastructure would be able to handle a sudden increase in demand should customers have to resort to electric space heating as opposed to natural gas.

"Just follow CuoCuo's orders.

Hook up all the new lines he wants. The increased flow demand will drop the pressure."

Newer systems shut down completely when the pressure gets too low. You get a sub-artic cold front come through for a week, let's see how Cuomo defends the deaths that would occur with the elderly shut-ins around the city when their furnace shuts off.

That’s not anywhere near as visually exciting as watching hundreds of slum buildings with old systems suffer ‘kinetic disintegration’ on the evening news.

The electric grid will handle that for now but what you’ll see is an increase in house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning deaths caused by idiots trying to stay warm, especially if the power goes out due to a storm. It’s going to be a rough winter. When they all get electric cars on top of this is when the grid fails.

"Cuomo Threatens National Grid: Provide Gas or Lose Your License..."

Listen you lousy capitalists, I don't give a rip if you go bankrupt providing gas without a pipeline. Either give us the gas or I'll bankrupt you! There!

Forbid methods of obtaining gas locally, then demand that others provide it. Typical RAT mentality.

It is always depressing to me when I see events in the current reality that seem like they were pulled, line for line, from Atlas Shrugged.

Say what you will about Ayn Rand, she pegged leftists.
