‘What Makes New Yorkers Live Longer?’ (2012)

Salt, sodas, smoking: Bloomberg's bans | CNN

Did I mention he banned salt, too?

Memory Lane is opening a new pseudo-science wing to preserve such absurdities as the following.

Remember, in 2012, a “Scientific Study” by The Lancet  “showed” (sorry for the quote marks; but in this case they are necessary) that thanks to Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s meddling in their personal lives, New Yorkers were living longer!

What Makes New Yorkers Live Longer?

I say what with him banning soda, sugar, smoking, snacks, you name it, life only seems longer to those who have to live with Bloomberg treating them all like naughty little children.

Well, Bloomberg is gone, memory of that “study” has largely passed away… and I would hazard a guess that life in New York seems longer still.

Unless some psycho stabs you on the subway.

How stupid? Well, we let robots walk all over us. If people weren’t stupid–or at least fantastically credulous–there’d be no robo-calls.

How Stupid Are We?

Mayor Bloomberg never did get around to reserving ten thousand New York City parking spaces for electric cars–it’s so hard to control everything! He left office with people still able to obtain french fries: surely a sore disappointment to him.

And then there’s the characters we send to Capitol Hill to rule us and make themselves fabulously wealthy. It’s astounding, how rich you can get in “public service”! And all on our dime!

Something ought to be done about that, someday. But we’d have to get a bit smarter first, and public education is there to make sure that never happens.

Mayor Bloomberg’s long gone, but not really–he could always emerge as the liberal statist version of Donald Trump. As mayor of New York City, Bloomberg fell into the habit of banning everything he didn’t think was good for people. You can always count on liberal dictators to try to infantalize their subjects.

If you’re living in New York (the current mayor, Warren Wilhelm dba “Bill DiBlasio”, may be seen as an incompetent Bloomberg wannabe), it only seems longer.
