De Blasio lets NYC rot: Garbage begins piling up across the Big Apple after nearly 1,440 sanitation workers were placed on leave for failing to get vaccinated

Heaps of garbage have been piling up across New York City as about 1,440 of the city's 7,200 sanitation workers, nearly 20%, are placed on administrative leave for not complying with Mayor Bill de Blasio's vaccine mandate for municipal workers – which Mayor-elect Eric Adams has promised to revisit.

Adams won yesterday's mayoral election with a landslide 68 percent of the vote over Republican opponent Curtis Sliwa's 28.8 percent. He has already promised to sit down with unions to negotiate vaccine mandates that have not only impacted waste collection throughout the city but have also stretched the FDNY thin.

As of yesterday, 23 percent of the FDNY's 11,000 firefighters are still not vaccinated and few have been given religious or medical exemptions, meaning 2,530 who haven't had the shots yet cannot report for duty.

Speaking of rats, I bet they’re feasting on some fine meals right now.

Good, let the people choke on it. They reelected DeBlasio, they reelected Cuomo and they elected another Democrat to replace DeBlasio when he leaves office so HAVE FUN IDIOTS

So is it safe to say there will be no Macy’s day parade this Thanksgiving in NYC

Our local high school band is scheduled to perform in the parade and as far as yesterday, had no indication of it being shut down.

Put helium in the rotting garbage bags. Perfect Macy Parade floating balloons.

I'd like to point out that NYC is not trying to adapt to the situation. For example, the city could have wagons pulled by trucks, the wagons passing in front of every building. The building's tenants could then deposit their garbage into those wagons at the appointed hour.

Instead of just having the trash sit on the sidewalk, to be lifted and deposited by "sanitation engineers" in the traditional manner.

Hopefully the incoming cold wave will help suppress the worst of the stench.

The parade will be garbage trucks hauling off the debris buildup on either side of the road

Years ago as I recall there was an NYC garbage strike, some people would Christmas gift wrap their garbage and leave it in their unlocked car, it magically disappeared.

Adams is going to negotiate what? What exactly is there to negotiate?

It’ll be like a 3rd world country when a head of state visits - just clear up the slums that are on that route.

The plastic bags will start to deteriorate in about a week, then comes the rats.
