It tells the world that Michael Bloomberg has no concept of fairness... but this is a man who removed the salt shakers from restaurant tables, and outlawed "Big Gulp" size soft drinks for the masses.

Issues & Insights editorialist J. Frank Bullitt has just the right take-down reminder:
Bloomberg governed the five boroughs for a dozen years as if he were making household rules for his pre-teen children. There would be no Big Gulp–sized sugary soft drinks, no trans fats, and every calorie had to be counted. A "Complete List of Everything Banned by Mayor Michael Bloomberg" compiled by Gizmodo includes: cars in Times Square, high sodium levels in processed foods, Styrofoam for single-use food packaging, cabs that aren't fuel efficient, loud headphones, and cell phones in schools.
Some of the bans were proposed or merely suggested. But they still indicate a prohibitionist mind-set.
The "Republican" mayor is also an enemy of Second Amendment rights. Under his watch, a Manhattan store was even fined $60,000 by the city's Department of Consumer Affairs for selling lighters that looked like small pistols.
He's the archetypical nanny-stater, monitoring every little thing a teenager does, not just in that list Bullitt frames, but much more. I recall that he also stole New Yorkers' salt shakers off their tables in their diners, all for their own good. Bullitt probably wanted to give us just a whiff of how bad he was.
What's more, this micromanaging serves as a cover for ignoring more important things — such as Bloomberg's failure in 2012 to prepare the city of New York for the great Hurricane Sandy because he was so busy micromanaging the Big Gulps."End Quote
He's a wanna-bee tin horn dictator.
