On Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams announced plans to extend New York City's state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The extension comes one day after the previous state of emergency expired on June 19. This is happening in the backdrop of both the federal and state COVID-19 emergency declarations having been ended earlier this year.
In a press release, the mayor's office lists the city's unemployment rate, 5.4% compared to the national average of 3.7%, as one of the leading reasons for this state of emergency.
Additionally, his office notes that the city’s office occupancy rate is approximately 48% of the pre-pandemic rate, and the city’s subway ridership is at 70% of pre-pandemic levels -- revealing that multiple sectors are still reeling from the affects of COVID.
The order also announced an extension to the Open Restaurants and Open Storefronts program, allowing restaurants to use sidewalk space to seat customers. The Open Restaurants program was seen as being successful in saving 1000s of jobs and supporting food establishments during the pandemic.
The city council is currently considering legislation that would establish a permanent Open Restaurants program.

This must be Joe Hiden's fault.
Great that he’s doing something useful for a change. Now can he start doing more of this in Queens.
Time for the Sheeple to take back our streets from car and truck freeloaders.
Bidenomics’ is a record of failure
Mayor Swagger and others of his ilk, are pushing the Liberal World Order by crushing the middle class between the millstones of taxation and inflation, government overreach, socialist indoctrination in the schools, open borders, high crime, Marxist inculcation of the medical and science fields, curbing of the first and second amendments, word banning, and selling our energy reserves to our enemies.
ADAMS, YOU'RE DOING A BAD JOB ! YOU'RE UNFIT FOR ANY PUBLIC OFFICE. RESIGN, GET OUT OF NY, WE DON'T WANT YOU!
As Rand Paul would say, "obfuscating the truth"
I’m sure this will piss off the usual QAnon creeps who don’t even live in New York.
Hoorah!
Covid was just the match that lit the fuse. New Yorkers have been considering leaving NYC and state for years due to increased taxes and decreased standard of living which arrived as politics moved further left. Obama was right: elections have consequences.
The DEMs always double-down on their (of course ruinous) policies.
Thank the Dem politicians once again, if you didn't vote against them then enjoy the new normal.
@"Mayor Swagger and others of his ilk, are pushing the Liberal World Order by crushing the middle class"
Well, he's a little late to take credit for this. Ronnie Reagan and his banker buddies set the ball rolling for the destruction of the middle class.
Nothing to do with Socialism, Marxism, wokeism, liberalism. Just plain old Corporate greed, monopolies and with a help from the bought and paid for corporate supreme court.
Just like my administration, one big bag of bullshit
@“ As Rand Paul would say, "obfuscating the truth"”
He’d know, being a crook masquerading as a libertarian.
@“ socialist indoctrination in the schools”
Really? Where did you get this from? The self confessed liars at Fox ? Corporate charter school propaganda? Your ass-hole?
@“ New Yorkers have been considering leaving NYC and state for years”
Very true. It’s been that way for a couple of hundred years now. Immigrants came to NY. Their kids moved west or south.
Unfortunately now the South has turned into a backwards swamp not unlike the religious fanatic states of the Middle East.
The west is burning up and drying up thanks to global warming.
So we are stuck here in Nyc.
The only other option is to move to a more modern civilized European country.
@“ ADAMS, YOU'RE DOING A BAD JOB ! ”
He sure is. What else do ya expect from a wannabe TrumpTurd.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

The pandemic isn’t over until they decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ?
Here’s what’s left of Twitter.
Please stop wearing masks outside. Thank you.
@"So we are stuck here in Nyc" No you are !
@"move to a more modern civilized European country" Like France with all the riots ?
Stop drinking so much while posting here you make up shite all the time.
"Unfortunately now the South has turned into a backwards swamp not unlike the religious fanatic states of the Middle East.

Lol! It's amazing the kind of stupid clap-trap media addled nitwits believe.
@"Please stop wearing masks outside. Thank you."
Why? Just because you said so? What else should people not wear outside? Red shoes? A tie? A gray jacket? Blue pants?
Who appointed you as the one who decides what people should wear outside.
Take a hike, authoritarian Karen!
@“ are !
@"move to a more modern civilized European country" Like France with all the riots ?”
Protest is still legal in France, unlike this nation.
Unless of course you are a fakriot .
Government is too scared to intervene during a fakriot riot.

Thanks for your usual insights and wonderful analysis of everything. The world of “Doofism” is forever in your debt.
Shocker, another progressive grift
