Taking page from Adams, Mayor Mamdani proposes NYC library cuts Library advocates called the mayor’s proposed budget “terrible.”

Don't appreciate the most prominent socialist mayor in the country's spokesperson using the phrase "achieving efficiencies and cutting waste" when it comes to THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES that his budget did not even fund sufficiently to keep up with inflation.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off in 2025, GDC Study Reveals One-third of U.S. video game industry workers say they were laid off last year, according to GDC.

This looks bad, right? But here is the thing... ITS WORSE

This survey only reached a narrow selection of respondents. Notably cut anybody who has been unemployed for too long. Mostly just ppl who can afford to attend GDC. Many laid off before 2025 are still looking!

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?
