April 1st is no longer just April Fool's Day - the Mayoral turkey has turned us New Yorkers into the fools.
"It's the rats," he clucked. Never mind the lawyer jokes, "the rats are having a buffet," he gobbled. So now we have this woke ultra-leftist-liberal nonsense about "recycling our food". But it was never about the rats, or about "saving the planet", or any other altruistic baloney - as with everything the New York City Council and it's corrupt (pardoned/charges dropped/wink wink nudge nudge) Mayoral clown focuses on - is separating us fools from our money.
Avoid a Fine! screams the headline of the flyer/email. And rat on your building (pun intended) by calling 311, it crows. A sneering sanitation "inspector" menacingly clutches his ticket book to give a full visual impact.
And there you have it. That is really all the NYC socialist politburo wanted - more FINES.
Never mind all the illegal dumping going on all around us in NYC. No no no. Our glorious sanitation KGB will be rooting through your regular garbage, looking for that crust of bread or that errant peanut, anything they can gleefully pounce upon and scribble out their citation for fattening the city coffers.
Never mind the rampant crime all around us, defund our police force and release all the recidivist "voters" to keep themselves in power.
Never mind the billowing clouds of pot smoke all over the streets of NYC, encourage drug use to grasp for more revenue and never mind the crimes it brings and never mind the drop in the quality of life for tax payers.
With (most) regular garbage being picked up twice a week - never mind the fact that this woke composting bin will fester outside our homes for up to a WEEK, never mind the smell and the vermin that will attract around OUR homes. Think it was bad so far over winter? Just wait till the temperatures climb now that spring is here and summer is around the corner, your woke bin will be cooked to a wonderous aroma.
Just another "revenue stream" for the socialists to funnel money from us hard working tax paying homeowners - to support their public assistance wards and the billion dollar budget public housing projects which brings in oh so many votes for them.
And to rub the proverbial salt in our fiscal wounds - that public housing may be EXEMPT from composting requirements! So we homeowners and taxpayers have to jump through these woke hoops to avoid the inevitable fines that will be gleefully imparted upon us - while the beneficiaries of OUR money are blatantly free of the rules. See NY Times article and NY Post article.
So from now on - refer to April 1st as NYC Fool's Day. And keep your checkbook ready for the fines that are sure to follow!
