Bloomberg Reveals Post-Office Plans in Foul-Mouthed Threat


There's been speculation that after leaving office Mayor Bloomberg will tinker with the Financial Times or continue to push issues like gun control and gay rights via his super-PAC, but apparently his goals are far less noble. Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman says he approached Bloomberg a day after a court blocked his plan to replace the city's taxi fleet with the Taxi of Tomorrow. “He turns to me, and said, ‘Come January 1st, when I am out of office, I am going to destroy your f--king industry,' " claims Freidman. “It was like Gene had kidnapped his child. He used the f-word twice,” an unnamed witness tells the Post. You don't even want to know what will happen to those who dare to drink a Big Gulp in the former mayor's presence.

1. I support his anti-gun and his wellness plan 100%. He should buy the NY Times and the Tribune papers

2. 'He should buy the NY Times and the Tribune papers'

Because he's not a big enough megalomaniac as it is, right?

3. I will take Obama team member Bloomberg over the Koch brothers any day.

I suppose others are fine with the Koch brothers purchasing them all.

8. Then why don't you move to NYC since you like his nanny state so much.

4. Bloomberg gave the exclusive contract to Nissan and the Taxi of Tomorrow he

bought from them is not accessible by people using wheelchairs as the law demands. In addition, the law requires a choice among hybird taxis and Bloomberg demanded no choice and a vehicle that is not a hybrid.
Heartless, reckless and without regard for the law, Bloomberg style. Wheelchairs? Those people should stay home and keep Bloomie's city running smoothly!

5. "back off or i'll post these f*cking blueprints of a building where mail carriers work!"

oh, sorry, i misread the headline....

6. Have to tell you that for those of us that

don't live in or near New York City, the "Post-office" reference is very confusing.

I opened this thread thinking Bloomberg was going after post offices - not the taxi service (and I still don't understand the reference!)

on edit: Okay - now I get it. (doh)

10. I read your post confused as well,

Read the title again,

Read your post again, and went - Oh,



Post-Office not Post Office

[enlightenment]

12. I only realized it after

posting and reading unblock's post above - went back and it finally clicked.

Bloomberg really is an icky person. Reading about him always makes me feel like I need to bathe.

7. A foul-mouthed New Yorker?

You must be fucking kidding? No fucking way!

One of the things I dearly missed when I moved to the West Coast was the special New Yorkese, which is English with a heavy dose of expletives and a dash of Yiddish. I was so fucking relieved to come home again so I didn't have to pretend to be balbatish. Because that was just fercockt.

9. Bloomberg is an asshole

13. And we all know what comes out of those. n/t
