This is what they thaught you to fear.
It has a name and it makes most people skirm.
The name is SOCCIALISM.
Why it seldom works?
Because capitalism cannot allow it to flourish, and has been interfering with all forms of it everywhere.
Quoting my comment from the same post on !fuckcars@lemmy.world a few days ago:
For what it’s worth, 160 is a record, but it’s not that far outside the norm. In 2024, corrupt piece of shit Eric Adams announced 147 car-free streets. In 2025, same administration, it was 148. The Trick-or-Streets program has been running for only five years now, so it’s understandable it’d still be ramping up in scale.
NYC mayor’s office press releases like these from every administration are puff pieces intended to be read uncritically (if at all), but I’m glad the trend is going upward.
Who is this guy? Some kind of fully formed member of society with empathy? How’d he end up in a position of power in a country that otherwise seems to abhor a gentleman? Fascinating 🧐
