The mayor is entitled to a salary of $258,750 a year. Michael Bloomberg, mayor of the city from 2002 to 2013 and one of the richest people in the world, declined the salary and instead was paid $1 yearly.
Who fucking cares? If you worked a job that paid you $5 a year and you declined the salary would I need to give you same big pat on the back? Because that's the equivalent here.
if it's a public service job for 11 years i think it's a sign he's a decent person

by contrast, someone who comes from nothing could be susceptible to conflicts of interest to better themselves financially (see: pink tide)

Bloomberg is above the monetary fray

he is Bruce Wayne

We have plenty of CEOs - we know how it works out.
As Bernie’s never held an actual full time job, I suppose he is the answer to the nightmare of having a successful leader run things
What a post
Seriously. I guess 3 term mayor doesn't count, nor does congressional representative or senator. Cuz ya know, those jobs aren't important at all. They don't give you any executive experience and certainly don't test leadership skills.

I don't know which jobs bring better experience for higher office than Governor (which is probably best), mayor & senator, other than already being in a higher office (like Cabinet member). Businessmen know how to run businesses. That is not how government is run, and I don't understand why anyone thinks that's the right experience. Unless you want someone who knows how to make $$ off the office itself, like the current President.

Which isn't to say a businessman can't do it. I just don't think that experience is enough. What kind of regular job should someone have first?

This is fundamentally wrong at it's core. We exist in a competitive globalized economy and pretending otherwise is whackadoodle.

No one denies the existence of the globalized economy. The US helped create it, and it's job is to manage it. The US government is not a business.

Why - because he has a plan for African Americans?
Why are California's mayors lining up to endorse Mike Bloomberg?

London Breed, San Francisco’s first black female mayor, joins campaign following support from Stockton and San Jose mayors

“Voters re-elected London Breed by a wide margin because she is taking on the biggest and toughest issues – and she puts progress over politics,” the former New York mayor said in a statement. “I’m honored to have her support and look forward to working with her not only to win this election, but to help make San Francisco and all of California stronger, fairer, and greener – with more affordable housing, more good jobs, and healthcare for all.”

Breed, who previously supported the California Senator Kamala Harris in the Democratic race for the presidential nomination, said on Facebook that she is backing Bloomberg because he “is the only candidate for president with a real plan for African Americans”, touting his Greenwood Initiative to increase black home ownership and the number of black-owned businesses.
