If this guy was not such an obvious clown in a costume, we would be able to tell who he is by the name on his jacket. But by the looks of his beard, he is just pretending to be a gas station worker who wears polo sweatshirts with an artisanal beard. You should be able to find him on a barstool at a local brewery or at an overpriced bearded person coffee shop somewhere working more on his style that on his substance.

MRLIC, of course you can blame this on immigrants…..but without any concrete information about either person, you would simply be stating more about you lack of intelligence than anything else.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
