Mayor Eric Adams copped to believing the “deep state” is real this week — echoing President Trump and the MAGA movement.

That we may end up with one of these two assholes indicates how vulnerable NYC is to the vagaries of sociopaths.

If you are any kind of decent leader you can inspire others and make changes, if you are a hack or worse, yes, there will be internal resistance in any system-- government, institutions or business.
