+100. I actually agree with this sentiment, as much as I don't want to. But the Mayor should not waste time standing in line.

Why was the mayor even at this event? Doesn’t she have better things to do? There is no part of her job that requires her to show up at this.

Standing in line is a social norm, not a law.

What makes it a rule that must be followed is the person providing the service or good. But again, not a law.

You're pathetic

So you'd rather punish her child by not allowing her to get a balloon? Just because her parent is an elected official? That doesn't make sense.

Of course not. We would rather punish every kid who is waiting in line and learning about good manners. This is a great lesson to teach your kids if they were in that line about race.

Uh

I'm involved with a well known charity who had a dedication ceremony in 2018 for a project they were opening. They had to schedule two separate ceremonies because Bowser didn't want to be speaking at the same time with Vincent Gray (who is a long time supporter of this charity). When Bowser didn't show up (her daughter was born that day), while I felt happy for her, many were upset the accommodation including me.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

I still don't get why people in this city still haven't figured out that a lot of people just don't like being outside in baking sun without any sun shelter in dangerous temp and humidity conditions. They CONTINUE to do this with their urban planning efforts for parks and recreation and so many other things. Sun shades are cheap, as are many other mitigators.

How many idle junior staffers are you envisioning that Bowser has on the Fourth of July?

A whole bunch of them were sent to march in all the local parades. She could have spared one for this stupid balloon line.

We go every year. She has loads of people there- staff and volunteers. I get why she did it. It would have been a better look to have someone get it for her DD.

Why did she do it?

PP here- I didn’t ask her. I guess she didn’t want to spend a lot of time in line?

The PP said “I get why she did it.” Why, PP?

The second line.

omg, I saw this too! ppl were pissed.

She needs to check her privilege

It gives you a glimpse into how she is

Wasn’t there but I’d assume she was offered to go to the front. It could possibly be more annoying having her stand in line with people possibly talking to her and holding things up more.


It is nice seeing politicians actually make time for their children. Hopefully it’s not all for show

If she pushed in front of people, that would be a different story.

Op here. No, no one offered. She just did it.
