People in New York still talk about John Lindsay and the storm 10 years before that one.

It’s okay, tone doesn’t always come across online. We can just let folks know that they missed a joke because context didn’t translate.

Yes. Part of it is the strength & energy that comes from not being "over the hill," as opposed to so many others who dont hold a candle to him.

It really is! It's rare.

Sewer Socialism FTW

We have a new mayor in Pittsburgh as well and lots of progressives were/are real skeptical (scion of a local Dem machine family) but he's only been in office for like 3 weeks and the snow removal situation + related comms is noticeably better which is 💯 the quickest way to a Pittsburgher's heart.

What a good mayor.

The production house that did the campaign videos is Melted Solids; I don’t know if their principals are involved in the city videos or have been hired by the city to consult.

I really like him.

I love this guy!

He’s got that delivery down!

And the obvious respect and gratitude he has for the front line people doing the work.

This should change maybe

It’s just earnest, not cheesy.

Plus seeing the chains on the trucks is going to give the suburban pickup drivers at least a partial. Great comms work all around.

Not only informative about what to be ready for, an excellent example of one answer to “where does all the money go?!” Thanks for sharing

It IS and I didn't actually know they did that! So I not only was entertained, I learned something!

In fairness I think snowplow driver was the #2 occupation goal shared by my brother and me until about age 10, right behind "trash truck driver" and "guy who gets to ride hanging off the back of the trash truck".

Bronx Science keeps winning.

not gonna lie, this sounds like a pickle party gone wrong. communication and governance should be smoother than my brine, but here we are, slipping on the ice. wild.

This shot tho!

He exudes an "everything is going to be ok" attitude. He's talking about snow plows and I'm smiling.

Gah ya beat me to it! #puns #terriblepuns And there's a webpage with a map and all the locations of the Scottish ones on iirc.

Denver mayor Bill McNichols saw his reelection doomed by his response to a snowstorm in 1982.

He is just so darn good at this

hes good

Southern states, take note. This is how you plow the roads without buying snowplows.

I loved this cheeky little aside

This is good!

I'm sure, many wonderful, non-cringe Schumer videos will follow ...

"Enjoy your city" is a pretty good motto

If any mayor I had ever voted for ever made a video like this I would be so proud. Just brimming with joy.

I don't think many current politicians are paying attention to Mamdani, but I think a lot of future ones are 🤞

Yea this rocks. Just the very fundamentals of government. This type of messaging and civil service should he unanimously praised and broadly replicated.

It's as if Fiorello LaGuardia had social media

I would follow this man into battle, no questions asked

It also likely makes those city employees feel seen and appreciated.

I love how he makes the work and competency of government to respond to people’s needs visible.
