Bloomberg's Reaction
Fred Siegel, writing on the Manhattan Institute blog, says Mike Bloomberg's reaction to the Cory Lidle plane crash in midtown is "demonstrating the insouciance he made famous during the prolonged Queens blackout..."
During his weekly radio address, Bloomberg responded to the calls for tighter flight restrictions around NYC airspace:
-- Azi PaybarahThe trouble is in our society, anytime anything goes wrong we add a level of checks. The trouble is every time you add another level of security it doesn't necessarily improve the level of security. It may very well make it so complex that it makes it less secure or less efficient or less reliable...Rushing to the microphone and saying you want to do something: leave it to the professionals.
Bloomberg is such a putz. Heh heh. He thinks he has the answers to everytink. Heh. He should come to me and I'll tell him how to spend his money and where to stick his plane. Heh. Heh.
Amazing how fast Bloomberg is to sign on in favor of other "levels" to protect people from food that is no good for them.
The guy is so clueless, insensitive and robot like it's not even funny.The bigger issue is that he's surrounded by cluesless individuals who believe that they actually are tuned in to what's happening in NYC.
What you expect from someone who bought their way in and is from Massachusetts.
Bloomberg is right on this. Wonder why he thinks private property rights are not important in regards to what one eats and smokes.
Insoucience -- Is that another way of saying out of touch?
I think Mike is right on this one. Jumping to a mic w.o an investigation serves no purpose, letting the FAA look at the situation and giving them some time is not bad. The fact is the other pols just jump infront of a camera to say what people want, sometimes what makes the most sense is not what people want to hear. Get over it.
Makes sense, especially when you look at how well letting the authorities look at the situation and take some time worked after the Queens blackout.
Seems to me I recall that Mr. Bloomberg couldn't wait to jump in front of a camera and demand we do that instead of, um, investigating why nobody mentioned tens of thousands of people sitting in the dark for the best part of a week.
Now that Con Ed is finished stepping back, we know from their report that people were sweltering in the dark unbeknownst to the mayor across the river because Con Ed has no idea whatsoever how many customers they serve in Queens. It's a miracle they all somehow get bills every month.
Bloomberg is simply far more interested in what he can do for big business than what he can do for the little people he'd rather not have living in his "premium" city anyway.
I'd suggest you get over that, but then I don't imagine you have a problem with it.
