Collectivism is so warm that people are freezing to death.

It’s cold in New York City now, but I should emphasize, cold by recent city standards, not by comparison to Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis or anyplace where it actually gets cold, so I’m perfectly comfortable walking the streets of Manhattan in a relatively light puffer jacket that would be sudden death in any place truly cold. This isn’t a harsh blizzard where people stumble around and die walking down the streets, but it’s colder than usual (NYC winters have been light in past years) and the expanding population of junkies and mentally ill addicts hanging out on the street are at risk of going to sleep and never waking up again.

The current total is 16 dead.

Zohran Mamdani, who leveraged a predatory saturnine grin and the graphic arts squad to take over the city, has no idea of how to deal with it and is being lambasted by outgoing Mayor Eric Adams (who is running a better campaign out of office than Andrew Cuomo did while running for office) for dropping the policy of pushing homeless vagrants into shelters ahead of cold freezes instead of letting them stay in encampments.

Mamdani is claiming that’s not the issue, but 10 out of 16 of the dead had been in the homeless shelter system. He’s issuing ChatGPT press release about how all the dead were individual precious lives.

Outside the touristy areas in Manhattan, the city is a mess, snow removal and trash pickup are battling it out and it’s details like this that require a mayor who is a hands on manager. Unfortunately the city hasn’t had one of those since the days of Koch and Giuliani. All they’ve got is a third world radical who used his shallow charm to get this far but, like Obama, can’t do any of the nuts and bolts stuff. Still that’s not what he’s here for. People will die, the city will fail, but Mamdani will blame it all on capitalism and Israel.

How does Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism” look now? Collectivism is so warm that people are freezing to death. All it took was one Communist and New York City is already a gulag.
