New York mayor Zohran Mamdani repeals bedtime for Knicks' school-aged fans during NBA Finals with executive order
Shouldn't this guy be busy taxing rich people and expropriating landlords?
I think little things like this are good. It shows kids that work doesn't have to be a relentless grind, that it can be fun and lighthearted. It also shows that the people running their government also live the same lives as them to some extent. Consider the opposite where they gave golden toilets and show blatant disregard for the average person. Even if they are faking it, they are saying they care enough about the people's opinion to at least fake it.
I'd say he has his priorities straight KNICKS IN 4
