Kathy Hochul: A Masterclass in “Leadership” (If You’re Into Dumpster Fires)
By Hans Wilder, Watertown NY
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has done it again, folks! This time, she’s managed to make even her staunchest supporters wonder if voting for her was like ordering a salad at McDonald’s: full of regret and soggy disappointment. Whether it’s her “leadership” that feels like being led into traffic or her uncanny ability to smile through crises she helped create, Hochul’s reign is starting to resemble a poorly written soap opera with no end in sight.
Let’s talk about her recent triumphs: skyrocketing housing costs, a mass exodus of New Yorkers heading south faster than snowbirds in January, and a transit system that works about as well as a chocolate teapot. Oh, and let’s not forget her incredible knack for blaming everyone except herself for the mess she’s presiding over. “It’s the pandemic’s fault!” “It’s the federal government!” “It’s Mercury in retrograde!”
But don’t worry, Hochul’s got a plan: more taxes, more regulations, and more of that signature deer-in-headlights charisma. Because if there’s one thing New Yorkers love, it’s paying through the nose for a state that treats them like they’re optional.
