Mike unleashes a ‘hail’ storm (Bloomberg threatens to "destroy your 'f'n' industry")
The New York Post ^ | May 22, 2013 | Emily Smith

Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f--king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned.

Bloomberg’s tirade included the warning that, “After January, I am going to destroy all you f--king guys.”

It would be an even better idea if we did away with Washington all together. There is no reason in this day and age that we have to send people to Washington. They should just meet and vote electronically. If these people had to live under the laws they passed, if they had to face their constitulants every single day they might be a litte more careful.

Why won’t everyone just accept anything Bloomberg tells them to do and obey him without question? What’s everyone’s problem, anyway? People that think they have the right to control their own lives? Pshaw! He is our lord and master. We should follow every whim he has, pay whatever fines he decrees for everything he finds objectionable. All hail Bloomberg!

I guess so.

I’m one of those people who just doesn’t get why some people have such a need to control others. All I keep thinking is he’s a millionaire, he can go anywhere and do anything he wishes. Why can’t he just leave people alone? Do nice things for people with all his money? But no. He has power. And he he wants more, more, more...

Power is like a drug, I guess. I’ve never experienced having real power so I suppose I can never really understand. But on the other hand I’ve no desire to have power over people. I just want to do what to live my life and be left alone.

And again, this is why I would choose to live in Detroit over NY.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Bloomy is threatening to “go to the mattresses” after January. Don Bloomberg has been watching the Godfather way to much.

"The trouble with New York, is that it's full of New Yorkers!"

And they export their Socialism wherever they go. They've already destroyed PA and south FL. They're like kudzu.

It's really disgusting. People from places like NY, NY, MA, etc. where the economies have been stagnated by astronomical taxes and oceans of regulations flee to places like FL TX etc. where there is no income tax and lots fewer regulations. BUT THE FIRST THING THEY DO WHEN THEY ARRIVE IS TRY AND MAKE THEIR NEW HOME EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST ONE

They elect liberal tax and spend politicians. They demand more regulations. They lobby for gun control. In short they sh!t where they ate until it was so full that they had to leave and now they're doing exactly the same thing again.

Guy I know, parents are a case in point. He loaths 0bama. His parents jewish NYCites OTO Never voted anything but Democrat. What did they do? RETIRED TO PALM BEACH COUNTY and brought their voting habits with them.

Id prefer,˜two men enter, NO man leaves’. It really is starting to feel like we all live in Bartertown. We're the pig sloppers down below and the politicians are all above ground making deals.

The Taxi of Tomorrow is a Nissan NV200 entry level cargo van, converted into a taxi. The NV200 is a good truck, GM and Nissan just announced the NV200 will be rebadged as a Chevy fleet truck...

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/14/nissan-nv200-puts-on-a-bowtie-as-new-chevy-city-express/

The NV200 is going to eventually be used as a taxi in the US and Canada, Nissan is going to make a killing off of this, even if NYC taxpayers don’t benefit.
