2:02:27
So but like I said, this is a bad idea for the City Of New York.
2:02:32
I'm calling our next mayor to reject the proposal.
2:02:35
This is nothing but benefits the DSA.
2:02:37
These corrupt unions like Unite Here at one hundred, DC thirty seven, Third to BJ, this benefits all the corrupt unions.
2:02:44
And let's keep this real.
2:02:45
They're not gonna hire people, regular people.
2:02:48
They're hire their own people, the DSA and members, those little corrupt members of DC thirty seven within the major unions to work those type of jobs.
2:02:56
This is not gonna benefit nobody at all within within these city owned food stores.
2:03:04
Botcher, I don't know what he's thinking.
2:03:07
I don't know if that donut that he ate that he ate from the string has gone to his head, but this is is not gonna work.
2:03:14
City owned food stores is nonsense.
2:03:16
I I call the city to completely reject this this notion and
