The Salty Thoughts of Mike Steph Podcast

NYC congestion Pricing is about to start in the city by the beginning of this summer. On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened podcast, Mike Steph has alot to get off his chest. This week is sports free, so he delves into NYC politics and how the working class is getting screwed over with the unpopular policies that have been implemented over the recent years. NYC Congestion Pricing is a controversial policy that has past in Albany and its intent is to garner funding for MTA projects to help public transportation achieve the upgrades that have been desperately needed. But at what cost? Is it really wise to squeeze every penny out of the life blood of the city? Mike Steph speaks in-depth about the potential fallout. Also discussed is the Netflix mini series "Griselda" and whether or not its worth the time. Included is what Mike Steph felt was the best part of the whole series. And finally, President Biden was in the headlines this past week for what most thought was a controversial interview with a black southern family with Fried Chicken and Fries, unwittingly playing into the complaints that many have had with most thinking that him and the democratic party as a whole have taken the black community for granted over the years and especially during this latest election cycle. All that and more! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/29dnWfhABrI?si=BY8YsQM8eIz0k936
