Focus, No Distractions, and Grind

Is Eric Adams actually a good orator? "This is a city not of socialism," said New York City Mayor Eric Adams in a speech yesterday, referring to his challenger Zohran Mamdani's recent win in the Democratic primary. "I've been to socialist countries. This is a city where you can come as a dishwasher and you can own a chain of restaurants. This is a city where you can be a cab driver and then become a doctor. This is a city where you can go from homelessness to building houses."

"This is not a city where you use idealism to state you're giving everything to everyone for free," he continued. "There's no dignity in someone giving you everything for free. There's dignity in giving you a job so you can provide for your family and opportunities that you deserve. This is not a city of handouts, this is a city of hands up."
