my type of public servant. Two days ago, on another internet site, a retired railroad worker I know posted a mixture of anger and ignorance regarding what he claimed was Mamdani's plan for a social program aimed at unemployed young men. One old friend corrected him, noting it was a progressive jobs program. I pointed out that the plan was similar to FDR's CCC and WPA. Programs such as Job Corps are not perfect, of course, but they are good for the majority of the people they serve, which in turn benefits society.
