I love NY but… you’ve heard the saying, “You reap what you sow!” Start sowing New Yorkers. You voted for this so shut up and take your medicine.

Lets thank those wonderful government employee unions New Yorkers. Hahaha…. My favorite view of your wonderful city is the Verrazano bridge…. in my rear view mirror as I head south!

boo hoo…you NY liberals vote this union loving trash in…grin and bear it, you get/got what you asked for.

Look for the union label. Thanks tounions and libs, NYC is a frikken cesspool.

CBS is protecting King Bloomberg they are now censoring the posts because his handlers are getting on their case. Bloomie doesn’t care that the outer boroughs are piled high–whether its snow or garbage. This cash strapped city has no problem diverting taxpayer dollars to overseas consultants. How can Bloomberg award a $65 million contract to Spherion and Science Applications International Corp.and look the other way when the “contract” balloons to over $700 million. Seems either he is not such a good manager or he is out right pocketing the difference. You union bashers are nothing more than MBA’s on the dole. Corporate welfare is the big game in this town.
blossoming under Bloomberg’s regime. Hey people don’t you know its time for a Broadway show!

When they mentioned rats in the story, were they referring to the union leadership?

IMAGINE….New Yorkers actually picking up their OWN trash, and disposing of it themselves!!! INSTEAD, they are too lazy to help THEMSELVES! I blame the PEOPLE of New York….Manhattan Island is filthy. I visited there 10 years ago, and will NEVER go again! I was appalled by all the garbage these people just toss in the street…trash was everywhere!! At least the city I live in is CLEAN, and the PEOPLE pick up after THEMSELVES! New York, You Get What YOU Voted For!!! No sympathy here!!!

Dubai Mike (Bloomberg) and his union cohorts could care less about us little NYers. He gets confused because he thinks that the terrorist Muslims are actually tea partiers (AKA Vets who protected us, Nurses and Moms that took care of their kids). He’s also busy setting up the Mosque at Ground Zero and the Sharia law that follows . Maybe he’s thinking about getting a 13 year old bride for himself. He’s worried about the millions he invested with the Muslims in Dubai. Don’t trust them Dubai Mike when they get rid of the rest of us infidels they’ll take care of you no matter what they said.

Bloomberg News, responding to a surge in regional sales of its news terminals in the Middle East has expanded staffing in its Dubai office. The National reported as follows back in 2008.
“The company has had a presence in Dubai for a decade. The planned expansion would increase its staff from 25 to 40 by the end of the year, and to as many as 100 by the middle of next year, Mr Linnington said.

Why don’t you put out some rat poison you cheap New Yorkers? Expect the City to care for your every whim? Pathetic liberals, honestly. I am NOT living around with super rats.

and the union rats will be running from any responsibility and denying any involvement in the alleged slowdown and corruption. i am sure there was some kind of illegal work slow down in the reductions of employees due to the budget deficit. the unions are a big part of the problem and will never be a part of the answer.

Between the bedbugs and rats I an staying away from NYC.

unions suck– f–k the unions

Blessed are those who have not seen this and still believe that government should do nothing the market can do, including residential rubbish collection.

Imagine rubbish companies competing over you, making scheduled pickups on days and at times most convenient for you and special pickups on your request.

I saved up, moved to Long Island, and….NO PROBLEMS.

As far as N.Y.C. folks go……..YOU ELECTED BLOOMBERG………NOW OWN IT!!!!

Freaking Trash Heap city. All 5 Boroughs. I get a car was after returning from any of them!!!

Where on the West Side is the garbage clean-up okay? I’m on 71st off Columbus and it’s a mess. Under Bloomberg, the rat population exploded in this neighborhood even before this. Whether you have your garbage locked up or not, they’re out there racing along and into every courtyard every night. I’ve contacted both my city councilwoman and the mayor’s office and gotten zip in response, all while Mayor I-know-what’s-best-for-you was dithering about how much salt we should have and where people could or couldn’t smoke. Power only corrupts on the national level. On a local level, it just makes you stupid. And this is they guy who thought he could run for President? On the basics — like getting rid of the snow before people started dying, getting rid of the garbage, and keeping the rat population under control — he gets a massive Fail.

ex mayor john lindsay’s attitude after being blasted for letting the snow pile up after a storm in the 70s was “God put it there and He can take it away.”

All of this and nobody has said anything about the real reason that this is happening. The City is going broke trying to pay Union entitlements, you know those bloated pensions that the unions got for greasing the Politian’s ballot boxes. Pure corruption and non extortion.

My Dad was always saying that the collapse of America would happen when people lost their faith in the currency and the government. He said it would be a slow painful process. Not sudden and dramatic, but a slow devaluation of the people and our trades and skills until one day we woke up and we no longer had a country. He predicted that then the Chinese would attack us and seize the West Coast. They would do so to reclaim their trillions that we had defaulted on.

I used to think he was crazy.

All you GOP-hating, union-loving NYC-ers deserve this fate. You vote for incompetently corrupt politicians who are interested in looking after their union voting blocs rather than that of tax payers. What else would you expect? Next time you go to vote, think twice again. I am so glad to read about this dysfunctional of the “greatest town on earth”. Bah! Humbug.

Both human rats, especially those of the union species, and the furry variety are overrunning NY. Perhaps New Yorkers might think about NOT voting for the liberals that encourage and support the unions.

Funny, but the picture doesn’t show a bit of snow!!! How can that be???

I live in Whitestone. My last trash pick up was 12/22 and my last recycling pickup was 12/18. Because of Christmas and the blizzard we are still waiting. My trash was supposed to be picked up again today according to NYC. I ran errands this morning and there wasn’t a garbage truck to be seen in Whitestone, Flushing, or College Point. Using you can’t drive around without seeing them on pickup days. Where are they? My trash is piling up.

NY needs a Bag and tag system. We pay $2.35 for a trash bag. Considering NY is so rich (and stupid) it should be $5 a bag for you foos.

I live in East Village, Manhattan. The snow plows were going up and down my block before the snow hit the ground. If sanitation wanted to hold a slow down they would have ignored Manhattan–and hurt Bloomie where it matters. Our garbage and recycling was picked up this week. My co-workers have always complained that their streets in Queens and Brooklyn are always plowed last. Bloomberg is to blame. Bloomberg only cares about his rich and artsy friends in Manhattan. Bloomberg hates the poor, blue collar workers and is always using his publicist cronies to spin the story. This is just one more of King Rat Bloomberg’s union busting games. Maybe if he didn’t blow over $700 million on the international Citytime contractors, Sanitation could have purchased better snow removal equipment and kept sanitation workers on the job.
