Eric Adams’s CTE expansion gives NYC youth real skills—not prepaid cards ripe for grift. Mamdani’s crew? Silent as scammers drained $17M from ATMs using SYEP loopholes. Adams builds pipelines to trades; Mamdani’s DSA allies enable chaos where teens become marks for financial predators.

This isn’t just a scam—it’s what happens when activist posturing replaces accountability. NYC needs job training that lifts kids up, not payment systems that leave them holding empty wallets and broken promises.

Adams delivers pathways. Mamdani delivers hashtags.
