Move over, New York! Miami steals title of America’s rudest city

Move over, New York. Miami has officially stolen your crown as America’s rudest city . The city of sunshine, palm trees and ocean breezes topped a new ranking of 70 US cities based on online complaints, social media gripes and internet searches about boorish behavior — while the Big Apple landed in fifth place in the nationwide ranking. Miami folks are good at kicking sand in your face, according to the new study. Luis Herrera/Stocksy – stock.adobe.com The study, conducted by Manhattan Mental Health Counseling , examined Yelp reviews, Reddit discussions and internet searches related to rude behavior, then crunched the findings into composite scores ranging from zero to 100. Miami scored 94.11 out of 100, beating Las Vegas, which earned 91.84 points. Memphis, Tenn., grabbed third place with 88.38 points, followed by Oakland, Calif., in fourth with 87.10. 7 California cities ranked among the best places to live in US NYC rounded out the top five with 83.58, suggesting New Yorkers haven’t exactly lost their edge — even if their reputation for bad behavior has migrated south. The nation’s gambling capital took second place in the survey. blackday – stock.adobe.com But New Yorkers can still claim one dubious distinction:

New York’s stagnant, aging population is killing job growth: report

New York’s stagnant and aging population is killing business expansion — with residents age 65 and older now making up nearly 20% of the state, according to a sobering report from Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office. The “Labor Markets” section of Hochul’s mid-year budget plan revealed that there are not enough younger residents to replace Baby Boomers leaving the workforce, thanks to “constraints in population growth. “New York’s labor market faces many of the same constraints as the nation, where cautious business expansion and limited labor force growth restrain hiring,” the study found. “Individuals age 65 and older now make up 19.3 percent of the State’s population, up from 15.0 percent a decade ago. New York faces a stalled labor market and aging population, with residents aged 65 and older now comprising 19.3% of the state. mimagephotos – stock.adobe.com “The growth of the State’s labor supply will be limited due to constraints in population growth and the aging workforce. “These trends will likely restrict employment growth , but unemployment rates should remain stable,” the report said. “[The state Division of the Budget] projects New York’s unemployment rate to average 4.4 percent in each year from 2026 through 2028, slightly above the

NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted

Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from some of the wildest policies espoused by leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America . Hizzoner downplayed the possibility of him getting booted out of the lefty group while claiming there’s mainstream public support to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “The thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” Mamdani told “Fox News Sunday” in a pre-taped interview. “I think what we’re seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis,” he added. “Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from key tenets of the DSA platform.
