Bloomberg: I will "destroy your f--king industry"

[green73]

Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f--king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned.

A fuming Bloomberg made the threat against Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman at Madison Square Garden’s private 1879 Club during last Thursday’s Knick playoff game, a witness said yesterday.

“It was like Gene had kidnapped his child. He used the f-word twice,” the witness said.

Freidman confirmed the blow-up to The Post, and said Bloomberg’s tirade included the warning that, “After January, I am going to destroy all you f--king guys.”

'All Billionaires Are Crazy'
by Lew Rockwell

That was Murray Rothbard's view, and certainly Bloomberg would be in that category. Murray thought that being surrounded by yes-men for decades warped these people, and that they especially should never have political power. They become outraged, vindictive, and dangerous when told no.

They probably no longer have a word for 'industry' in those languages...

It's baffling to me that public officials can get away talking like this. Bloomberg is a complete classless narcissistic psychopath who should be serving life.

Judge Blocks Plan by City for New Taxis
By MATT FLEGENHEIMER
Published: May 15, 2013

A State Supreme Court judge on Wednesday blocked the Bloomberg administration’s plan for a near-uniform fleet of yellow cabs, ruling that it violated a New York City provision requiring a hybrid option for taxi operators.

The decision was a pronounced stumble for the city’s Taxi of Tomorrow — the first sprawling redesign since the age of the Checker cab — whose spacious interior, transparent roof panels and “lower-annoyance” horns were to be introduced later this year.

But Justice Peter H. Moulton ruled that the city’s administrative code doomed the existing Taxi of Tomorrow rules, which require all but a few exempted owners to buy the cab. According to the code, the city “shall approve one or more hybrid electric vehicle models for use” and any approved model “shall be eligible for immediate use” by all owners.

The Taxi of Tomorrow, a Nissan NV200, is not a hybrid.

The city’s violation of the code “has been all but conceded,” Justice Moulton wrote. City officials did not challenge the judge’s interpretation.

The decision did appear to leave open the possibility that an amendment could allow the Taxi of Tomorrow to go forward. The Taxi and Limousine Commission had already planned to vote on a proposed rule allowing owners to buy hybrids instead of the NV200, provided the hybrids were the same size.

A vote on the proposal that was scheduled to be held on Thursday was called off. But David S. Yassky, the city’s taxi commissioner, predicted that the ruling would not delay the Taxi of Tomorrow’s introduction.

But plaintiffs against the city, including the Greater New York Taxi Association and the Committee for Taxi Safety, which represent groups of medallion owners, have said that the proposed rule would still ban hybrid use by allowing only the largest, most expensive models.

Ethan Gerber, executive director for the Greater New York Taxi Association, suggested that if passed, the amendment would violate court orders. “You can’t amend something that doesn’t exist,” he said.

It makes the people angry, yet almost respect the Mayor. The mayor being the servant to a submissive master that is. The true master, the individual, is down trodden at this day, looking for a spark to light it all up.

Why the hell does a city have to design an effin' taxi in the first place? Or am I misunderstanding this?

They're probably going to end up with something like this:

Aw, whatzamattahyu, Bloomers boy? Did you have to give Nissan back their brib--er, I mean campaign contribution?

back when hizzoner ran a financial information systems company he had the company's message system block all "inappropriate" words. these included words like "penis" along with George Carlin's seven words and any variant thereof.

I sent him an email asking why he had taken such a woosy stance on language that was, in my opinion, a part of the culture and communication language shared by nearly all of his customers that pay large sums of money to his company. he was known to have a particularly large alternative-adjective vocabulary as well.

was surprised to get a response, but the one I got didn't surprise me. CEO mike cited attorneys and expressed empathy. what a piece of shit.
