New Yorkers need to build a wall around themselves to protect themselves from reality.

In essence, if it makes your life more enjoyable,

This mayor guy clearly has too much time on his hands (not to mention ego) and nothing more important to focus on in such a peaceful and thriving metropolis as New York City.

He can have my Styrofoam gun when he pulls it out of my dead coke and salt encrusted hands.

There will be a new requirement for 20% of all new public parking spaces to include spots to charge electric vehicles

And exactly who is going to pay for the electricity?

He just wants to keep people from making home-made napalm. There goes another fun experiment. /s

Bloomberg should just ban exhaling for New Yorkers.

They can inhale all they want, but exhaling releases deadly greenhouse gasses.

This guy is truly insane. Just *what* styrofoam cups is he talking about? You buy a coffee and it comes in a paper cup. You buy a soda, it comes in a plastic cup or a paper cup with wax on it. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a styrofoam cup. I think I saw one last summer when it was hot and somebody was selling them in a deli filled with ice.

The fact is there no bombing of the environment with styrofoam. This is just more power flexing by the despot because he couldn’t think of anything else to ban.

He bans everything except illegals who I see every morning lined up down the block at the food stamp place at 32-20 Northern Blvd
Queens, NY 11101 (for those who want to see for themselves on Google maps street level) Food stamps which BTW are no longer food stamps but credit cards, or what they call “EBT cards”, which is plain old money that you can use to buy anything that has a CC machine at the register.

Let me go to Mexico and see how much free money the Mexican government will give me. Since Bloomberg has cops out 2 in the morning stuffing parking tickets all over my car because the city “needs money”, or stuffing “equipment violation” tickets in my windshield the same night somebody decided to smash my side view mirrors overnight (probably an illegal)I figure the Mexican government owes me about a couple thousand bucks.

RE: When to we get a Bloomberg Ban?

He’s out next year and won’t run again (He’s had 3 terms). Unfortunately, the fav to replace him (and his successor designate), Christine Quinn( a Lesbian who recently “married” her partner ) is just as bad.

She demands that new buildings ONLY have Al-Gore approved type “dual-flush” flush toilets.

They call her Bloomberg Mini-me.

Even worse, unlike Bloomberg, she is putting the NYPD on notice that she will fight their highly successful stop-and-frisk system that has effectively made NYC one of the safest big cities in the world.
