He is a fool for stopping the using of prison workers to make phone calls on behalf of his candidacy. He could have made a fortune getting them to apply sell licence plates or decorative gravel.

“Yo, Homie, dude, you gotta vote for this Bloomberg honkie. He’s like really dope, Homie.”

I guess it might get Mr. Bloomberg a few votes, but it’s hard to see him making inroads suburbs with those guys.
