Yet another weird SF fan


I'm a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan. Common sense? What's that?

Was Milton Gomrath behind This?

According to The New York Post:

There was a method to their madness.

The selfish Sanitation bosses who sabotaged the blizzard cleanup to fire a salvo at City Hall targeted politically connected and well-heeled neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn to get their twisted message across loud and clear, The Post has learned.

Their motives emerged yesterday as the city's Department of Investigation admitted it began a probe earlier this week after hearing rumblings of a coordinated job action.

Sources told The Post several neighborhoods were on the workers' hit list -- including Borough Park and Dyker Heights in Brooklyn and Middle Village in Queens -- because residents there have more money and their politicians carry big sticks.

They carefully targeted neighborhoods where … the residents could actually curb unions?

What, if anything, were they thinking? Did they assume that all “working people” would never blame a union? I'm sure many people now think that unionized workers should be ionized instead.

Somehow, I don't think this was planned by the world's smartest garbageman.
