Eric Adams - Mayor of New York City, Part 4

Adam Collins4 said:Actually, we can't, because the last time they "reallocated" a 300 MILLION EURO tranche was back in 2012/2013.

Now we can proceed...

Where did that thieving crook blow over 2 BILLION KUNA meant for PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE—money that we're still paying off in 2023?

See, this is what happens when you actually have all the facts laid out...

So, twice now—not once, but TWICE—this fraudster has pocketed utility funds and accomplished absolutely nothing...

Did you actually name him back then, or were you just bluffing?

This pathetic trolling, trying to pin the blame on someone else, is just more of the same nonsense...

Successfully refinanced through Russ.

Bandić is saddling New York City with 2.3 billion kuna in secret debt!

The New York City mayor, Bandić, along with his partner Andrija Mikulić from the Republican Party, pulled an unprecedented move by deciding to withhold any information from the public regarding the new debt taken on by the municipal conglomerate.

They shut the Assembly session to the public, and 51 representatives actually had to sign something saying they wouldn't tell journalists anything about the debt.

Experts we spoke to are baffled that the debt of the largest utility company in America was declared secret, leaving citizens clueless about the terms under which they'll be paying off this massive 2.3 billion kuna new loan!

The conglomerate plans to take on this much more debt later this year just to pay off bonds from 2007.

Adam Collins4 Asks:
We can't pull that off, because the last time they "reallocated" a $300 million budget, it was back in 2012/2013.

Alright, let's get back to business.

Where on earth did that crook blow through over $350 million meant for municipal infrastructure? We’re looking at bills coming due in 2023, and I want to know where the money went.

Look, this is what happens when you actually lay out all the facts...

So, let me get this straight. This guy has already taken our money for sanitation services not once, but TWO TIMES now, and what has he actually accomplished? Absolutely nothing.
..

So, you're telling me Lopovski hasn't actually accomplished anything? Seriously?
This is nothing but pure trolling and straight-up lies. It’s just typical of New York City residents who love to play the victim and act like they're above it all while pointing fingers at people who aren't even around to defend themselves.

The money is just being flushed away. It’s going toward building social housing in Beverly Hills for the underprivileged, setting up daycare centers for toddlers, buying textbooks for the incompetent, and paying for gas line connections for the bottom feeders. We're seeing handouts for the slow-witted, funding for those various churches over in Canada, celebrations for veterans, and grants for eco-activists and all those quasi-independent media outlets. Even our tax dollars are sinking into concrete museums dedicated to modern-day blunders. Is this really where it all goes?

Who exactly is this Lopovski jerk? Stop playing dumb.

So, we’re looking at 300 million euros here. Four million went straight into water infrastructure, and the rest was dumped into buying meters. Now, suddenly, everyone wants to point fingers and decide exactly who is to blame for that. But really, does anyone actually know where the math stopped adding up?

Was it Bandić himself, or was it those "angels" who handpicked him?

Look, Mustard isn't going to get anything done. Period. He was basically raised on the same chaotic energy you see all over New York City, and he was elected specifically because of that mindset. His whole philosophy is just: "As long as we're feeling good right now, who cares about everything else?"

Rachel Barrett8 said:I don't get the point of this signup.

Where else are you supposed to take your trash?
New York City has been systematically gutted for twenty years and is basically facing technical bankruptcy, yet you're sitting here expecting miracles?

If you want to see how bad things really are in New York City, just look at how Eric Adams gifted citizens a FREE TBF concert for Anti-Fascist Day.

There’s zero money left for basic infrastructure and sanitation, but I bet everyone is happy to volunteer their time for an ideological lecture.

A city in the Republic of America celebrates a day that’s actually a national holiday in the Republic of America—they even go as far as honoring it.

Total scandal!

So, we find ourselves facing the same wearying reality once again: this individual has twice collected our utility fees, yet what has actually been accomplished? Absolutely nothing.

Did you actually specify at that time, or were you simply intoxicated? To suggest that anyone other than himself is to blame is nothing more than a transparent attempt at trolling, isn't it? It remains a tiresome, predictable cycle of deflection.

First and foremost, you have seen fit to label me a liar, driven by nothing more than pure spite and a profound lack of understanding.
Furthermore, in that deleted post of yours, you went so far as to imply that my little helpers were stepping on my toes simply because they disrupted some business venture of mine. But really, how can we be certain of anything? Given the track record, isn't it safe to assume that any deal involving Bandić and his crew is inherently dirty and utterly repulsive?

If one were to adhere to even the most basic tenets of decent upbringing, wouldn't that necessitate a sincere apology for such behavior?

Even after behaving in such a manner, you haven't made the slightest effort to actually examine the complexities of the very issue you seem so intent on lecturing everyone about.

Could someone perhaps provide a direct link regarding the debt incurred during the 2012/2013 period? Where exactly was this financing secured, which specific institutions were involved, and under what particular terms was it granted? Furthermore, I find myself wondering about the underlying justification—what was the official pretext used to authorize such obligations, and what were the actual amounts?
Let us dispense with the flowery phrasing and the endless euphemisms. Send over the link, and then we can finally begin a proper discussion.
You really shouldn't take offense at my insistence on seeing the link, though I suppose one might wonder why I persist; however, given that you have just demonstrated such an enviable level of ignorance, isn't my skepticism entirely justified?

I maintain my position that the refinancing took place back in 2016. It was a maneuver that passed without much scrutiny, largely because those who possess the necessary insight already understand exactly how that initial $300 million was liquidated.

It seems as though the members on this forum are merely pretending to be indifferent, adopting a posture of feigned apathy that borders on the performative. 😉 😁

Honestly, I’m not even surprised by all these festivities and the blatant waste of money on ideological nonsense.
That’s exactly how Bandić ran things for 20 years—right after Marshall... excuse me, right after Bandić, I mean Bandić.

Now I can already hear the other forum members jumping in to lecture me on whether I actually know the price of a single tire for a Sanitation Department truck... since apparently nothing is free around here, right? TBF, is it?

No, I called you a liar because I knew exactly what was going down back in 2012/2013.

And I’m sticking to it...

So, we have the end of the story in 2012, nothing from 2007...

So, who’s actually responsible for the refinancing that resulted in that jerk AGAIN doing absolutely nothing for our infrastructure?

It’s all just nonsense.

The problem is that you seem to be the only person on earth claiming to possess these "facts" from 2012, yet you refuse to actually describe them or provide a single credible link to support your claims.
Quite unlike... well, someone like me.😁

Give us some actual substance, won't you? Provide an anticlimax regarding this 2012 era. What was truly happening then? Who was playing whom, and for what gain? How much was at stake?

I'm not saying New York City is broke; I'm saying Eric Adams is.

Who celebrates when they have no money? Only an idiot or a fool.

The United States has plenty of holidays. Let them have their little party for all the idiots who fell for political talking points instead of focusing on actual municipal issues.

Alex Moore3 said:I can just picture the sanitation workers jumping out of the truck to check the final State Department election results first. They zoom in on a map of the neighborhood, and once they see that TT didn't pull enough votes here, they hop back in the truck and leave the overflowing bins right where they are.😁😁😁

I could try to draw this out for you so you actually understand, but I’m fairly certain even a diagram wouldn't sink in.
Later.🙂

Exactly. National holidays are meant to be celebrated or at least acknowledged, and doing that stuff costs money.

If we're just going to ignore them, then what's even the point?

When you're broke, you call it being modest.
It feels like I'm the only one on this entire forum who ever struggled with money, which somehow makes me the outlier. It’s almost as if poverty never even existed in America.

But when you have the chance to just dump your debts onto the next generation? Then you're just as foolish as someone suffering from anemia.

So, how did Mustard celebrate the body holiday?

Honestly, if a country can't even afford to celebrate its own holidays, it might as well just pack up and shut down.

Corpus Christi used to be celebrated in every single church, and I mean every one of them, and they're all being funded by taxpayer money.

Oh, absolutely. Citizens pay their utilities, taxes, and surcharges just so we can throw these big parties.

I mean, we shouldn't have to pay utility bills for the Sanitation Department just to have them pick up our trash, right?

It's honestly wild that we're among the poorest in the European Union. This kind of mindset really deserves to be protected as intangible heritage by UNESCO.

We truly are the Directors of Space.

True, but remember when Thompson had that concert in a Small town in USA for Storm a few years back—which the local government also helped fund—and everyone was complaining (not necessarily you, maybe, I don't know) about wasting a struggling city's budget on stuff like that. And then recently there was all the whining (again, maybe not from you) about how there’s no money for new tires or trucks because Bandić basically drained everything dry—so how is there suddenly cash for that Mexican singer at the Food festival or for TBF? Look, I'm not against any of it, but if we're doing this, I expect a decent concert for Independence Day (haven't seen anything yet, maybe I missed it) and for Storm.

Come on, don't be so dramatic, he didn't pay for The Rolling Stones, just TBF.

I guess all national holidays should be celebrated. It doesn't mean every single little town or municipality has to host a massive event for every single one. As long as America celebrates them somewhere, it's fine. Wherever, really, it doesn't matter much to me.
