Pampered Bloomberg video reveals public disconnect



  I don't get this. What's the purpose of this video, which was apparently played at the Mayor's state of the city address. 
  It's hard to believe city dollars went into financing a spoiled pampered Mayor being carted around the city in a livery cab, getting "cute" service from the underlings, while the city goes to hell.
  I recently heard a truck driver complain that the cost for transporting his cargo on one bridge in NYC just went up from $40 to $65. One trip across a bridge.
  Auto drivers were hit with an increase also. From The Atlantic Cities last September:
Not a fun week to be a toll collector in New York City. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, a rate increase went into effect for drivers entering the city at six high-traffic crossings, including the Lincoln and Holland tunnels and the George Washington bridge. Tolls rose $1.50, to $9.50, for EZ-Pass users during peak hours and will continue to climb periodically through December of 2015, until the rate is $12.50. For drivers paying cash, the toll rose $4, to $12, and will continue to stay two bucks ahead of the EZ-Pass rate, rounded up.
  When people complain about the price of living in New York, they ought to remember this LOSER video, in which Bloomberg is charioted on angel wings to his destination to be greeted by screaming schoolgirls like he's a rock star. 
  No evidence of any TOLL being paid.
  Sure, this is intended to be some kind  spoof or something, but it is indicative of exactly what's wrong with this country. 
  Oblivious to the needs of the people, a richly attired pol has himself filmed at taxpayer expense to bring a laugh and admiration from other richly attired spoiled pols.
  Haha.
  Puke.
  H/T JWF.
