Daaayum! Are you in danger of becoming enamored of the conk version of social justice, UNH?UNHWildCats wrote:If what the NY Post printed today is true some of that anger will shift. And if the Post story is true, and the sanitation supervisors had their employees dragging out cleanup as a protest, not only should those supervisors be fired, but they should face manslaughter charges in the death of the newborn who died after the mother waited 9 hours for emergency responders to get to them. And they should face manslaughter charges for any other deaths that were the direct result of the streets not having been cleared in a timely manner.GannonFan wrote:
Eh, in all the companies I've worked for, there always is a hierarchy for who's in charge, even when the big overall managers are all gone. So what if a Production Manager needs to oversee the whole facility - people are still expected to be doing their jobs even without their normal supervisor in place.
I can understand the anger towards Bloomberg - he's a mayor and in a city, nothing gets people riled up like garbage collection and snow removal and as mayor, he should know that. But I don't get why people are throwing Christie into the mix as well. He's not in charge of plowing the streets of Newark - he's not even in charge of the guy who's in charge of doing it. Granted, he should've made sure that there was a clear distinction of who'd be running the show on the ground in his and his Lt Gov's absence, but that's just PR. At the end of the day, Christie sitting in his office in Trenton giving press statements wouldn't have changed a thing in terms of the snow being removed. If the streets don't get plowed in Philly (and heck, they don't even make a pretense of plowing every street and they never have nor will they - people are expected to make do) then the mayor gets the grief. I've never heard people yell at Harrisburg (for those not in the know, that's the state capital) because of issues with the streets in Philly.
...been holding back on us?????
