Eric Adams doesn't care about subway safety
He would abolish himself if he did
Hiii, I’ve been putting chocolate milk in my coffee every morning and I didn’t ever think I would say this but I think I’m tired of chocolate milk. Today I’ll share my feelings about Kathy Hochul and Eric Adams increasing subway military surveillance. Onto the news…
News that made me say let them eat guns
Kathy Hochul, the governor of the so-called New York state, or as I like to call her, appointed dictator of Lenape, has deployed 750 national guards to the New York City subway. This is really exciting because it will finally give New Yorkers an opportunity to experience first hand what it’s like to live under a US military occupation. I feel so much safer seeing American soldiers with machine guns said no one who actually knows the purpose of the United States military.
In addition to the national guard, Eric Adams, the villain from New Jersey, will deploy an additional 1000 NYPD officers to the subway. The purpose of the increase in surveillance from the NYPD and literal military is to make the subway more safe. I would argue that getting rid of the NYPD would make the subway more safe for everyone. Not just because I don’t pay for the train, but also because the NYPD assaults passengers for fare evasion while letting mass shooters move about freely.
What’s also interesting is that Kathy Hochul hopes to pass a bill that would ban people who’ve assaulted passengers from riding the train for three years. Which begs the question, how is the NYPD going to be able to surveil the train if they are banned from riding the train?
I don’t think Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul believe that “let them eat guns” is the solution to what they claim is the the current state of the subway. I’m not saying this because I think Eric and Kathy are brilliant people. I’m saying this because Eric and Kathy are evil people. I think everyone who is a leader in this evil empire is evil. I don’t care if their name is AOC and they are trying to convince you they are a hip cool capitalist stooge while refusing to call a genocide a genocide.v
Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul are being evil in this particular situation because they are solving a problem the public thinks is a problem by actually not solving it.
If Eric and Kathy government officials actually wanted to make the city safe for everyone, they would invest in housing, mental health care, and everything else that would give everyone a good life. Just like if I wanted to find the clothes I want to wear, I would invest in folding them. Instead of furiously digging through the laundry basket for my favorite shirt five minutes before I want to leave the apartment while screaming why can’t I ever find anything!
However, Eric and Kathy aren’t interested in making the subway safe. What they are interested in doing is increasing state surveillance to criminalize vulnerable populations. This way they don’t have to admit that the reason why everyone is not safe is because the capitalists need struggling scared masses to work for them. No one would go to their terrible jobs if housing, health care, and a safe life was guaranteed. No amount of pizza parties in a cold conference room would be enough to lure the masses to work.
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
