Democrats sacking public troughs for cronies. Newly created offices, agencies.
A new $150,000/yr. job for Stephanie Yazgi—the girlfriend of his strategist, Emma Wolfe. $105,000 per year for his digital director, Jessica Singleton, to shape his public image. A new Office of Sustainability (for “sustainability initiatives and green investments”); its director, Nilda Mesa, will get $179,870/year.
Nothing like a little income equality if you can avoid the dreaded private sector.

How many C-D readers make that kind of money? Don't worry, his city income tax pays for it.
I skimmed the article, but only one of the offices, seems to be new, one is newly named(which just means they used to call it something else). All the other jobs already existed.
You call them his cronies, but I ask you to name me a single politician who doesnt move up the latter and take his previous staff with him ???
If you believe the overall practice is wrong, thats one thing, but that doesnt seem to be what you are arguing.
"Mayoral spokeswoman Karen Hinton defended her boss. “When this administration hires without posting, we are hiring qualified candidates who are committed to ending income inequality and ensuring a government that looks like and serves all New Yorkers,” she said."

You're the progressive who contended yesterday that when a professor writes, "I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me," the story isn't about liberalism.

This is common practice for just about anyone in politics. It is like a Coach bringing on his own hand picked coaching staff as support. If you have a problem with the whole system with how politicians do this, then I agree with you, but if you have an issue with just one specific politician doing this, then I feel like this thread is another pointless attack thread.

I said that the examples with in the article was about conservatives(on in particular calling the professor a communist), not liberals, and you never even contested it. The professor said that Todays Youth scares him in that the liberals may attack him for not being liberal enough laving him no allies in the class room.
I never said it wasnt about liberals, i simply said his real life examples were of conservatives and the liberal ones were predictions. Also, im not a progressive.
But back to the topic since you clearly just side stepped it, Answer my question

I absolutely contested your bs then as I am now.
The author dutifully led in with one conservative example. You wanted to preemptively mislead C-D readership by dishonestly conflating the whole pieces that way. You failed, because your audience can read.
You are a progressive, dsjj251. Your comments are saturated with it.

The only other real life example he gave was of Mark Twain, and that was about a conservative as well.
Are you saying the other examples were not hypothetical as well ?????

Thanks for proving my point. The mark twain example isnt about liberalism, nice try in pulling something out of context.
