I wanted to take note of Matt Yglesias’s observation about the incoming Mamdani administration in New York City:
No one can predict the future, and a Mamdani administration might turn out to be shambolic, like Brandon Johnson’s in Chicago.
I think he’s being exceedingly kind to Mayor Johnson. Merriam-Webster defines “shambolic” as:
obviously disorganized or confused
I would have said “disastrous” or “ruinous”.
