Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pothole purge saw nearly 8,000 craters filled in a single day – the same number that would usually take New York’s Department of Transport (DOT) a week.
So it was a PR stunt that fixed more potholes than the DOT usually does in a week
No. DOT usually does bursts where they fix a lot of potholes then the mayor articles such as the above. They always hone in on a weird framing of the stat. This is potholes fixed in a single day. Others do potholes fixed total or over a period of time, average pothole fix time etc.
further established credibility that socialists can perform at least as well as the best capitalist
Sure but this was never a concern. Its not that we(socialism haters) think they can use a government department to fix an issue. Its that we think they will interject the government into industries it has no business running and then will lead to inefficient run industry. I dont think Mamdami will do that or anything close to it.
