Grandiosity...

As New York has become the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, Mayor de Blasio has become emblematic of a different type of dysfunctional governance.  The mayor has made New Yorkers pay the price for his grandiose vision of himself as a moral leader.

There had already been signs that de Blasio was not prepared to deal with the gritty realities and hard choices of governance. His short-lived run for the presidency was as buffoonish as it was delusional. He was absent from the city during a paralyzing summer blackout in 2019. And he hired a schools chancellor who has needlessly pitted Asian-American families against African-American and Latino ones.

He is now blame the Federal gov, for his lack of preparedness all around.  Just a thought.
