Amagunya abo mancinci. Kunokuba nzima ukunyuka kudumo lwesizwe. Ukubaleka isixeko esikhulu ngumsebenzi odidayo, ongenambulelo, kwaye irekhodi lokungaphumeleli ngokuqinisekileyo liqokelela ukuphikisana nayo nayiphi na indumiso.
Ngoku ekubeni uMichael Bloomberg, owayesakuba ngusodolophu weSixeko saseNew York, kunjalo umva ekuhleni ndiyaphupha malunga nokuhlala e-White House, kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba igama lakhe njengobuchwephesha, ongenangxaki yokusombulula iingxaki unokuhlala ehluthwa kwaye ajongelwe phantsi ziimbangi zakhe zikamongameli, nokuba bangobani na, bemema uhlobo lokujongwa kwezigidigidi rhoqo ithiyiwe.
Isindululo sikamongameli waseBloomberg siyakubaqhelanisa nabavoti kwilizwe liphela nangaphezulu komlo wakhe ngokuchasene nobundlobongela bemipu kunye neesoda ezinkulu. Ukuba iRiphabhlikhi-eguqukayo-ezimeleyo yafumana ukubambeka, abavoti baya kukhunjuzwa ngezona zinto zakhe zakhubekisayo kunye nehlazo, eziye ekugqibeleni zambozwa ligosa lakhe loqoqosho olukhulayo kunye nenqanaba lolwaphulo-mthetho olwehlayo. ICityTime, uCathie Mnyama, Bermuda, Yakha kwakhona kwaye ikota yesithathu izakufumana intsingiselo kubantu abangaphaya kweNew York City, kwaye uMnu Bloomberg kuya kufuneka baphinde bacinge kwakhona ngeentsumpa zobusodolophu.
Ngaba uMnu Bloomberg wayengusomashishini nje njengoDonald Trump, ubomi bakhe kwiphulo lokukhankasela beliya kuba lula. Umsebenzi wokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba ka Mnu. Trump, nangona enempumelelo eninzi, uzele kukungabinamali kwaye uthotyiwe ngabachasi bakhe beRiphabhlikhi. UMnu Bloomberg ngusozigidigidi ozenzileyo onobuchule bokwenza imali kunye nexabiso elinqabileyo kunqabile ukuba aphikisane nalo. Kwingxoxo yeRiphabhlikhi yakutshanje ngomabonakude ngoLwesine, uSen. Marco Rubio waseFlorida wavuma ukuba uMnu.Trump uza kuthengisa iiwotshi eManhattan ukuba yayingelolifa elivela kuyise, umphuhlisi odumileyo uFred Trump. Umnumzana Bloomberg, owakhulela kwikhaya elikumgangatho ophakathi, wasuka ekubeni libhanka wotyalo-mali oyekiweyo waseka inkampani yolwazi ngezemali.
Forbes Izikhonkwane zomnatha kaMnu Bloomberg ezixabisa i-36.5 yezigidigidi zeedola. Yiyo leyo $ 32 yezigidigidi ngaphezulu kukaMnu. UMnu Trump, umgijimi wangaphambili wokutyunjwa kweRiphabhlikhi, ukhuphisana ngokukhawuleza kulo mfanekiso, kodwa kuya kuba nzima kumntu osaziwayo ukuba aphikise bhetele ekwenzeni imali kunoMnu Bloomberg.
Kodwa ukuba uSen.Bernie Sanders waseVermont, ozichaza ngokwentando yesininzi, woyisa ukungangqinelani kwaye iphumelele i-Democratic primary -ngowona msitho unokubangela ukuba kugqitywe iBloomberg-bobabini kunye noMnumzana Trump baya kuba nakho ukufumana ezinye iindlela zokukhetha usodolophu wangaphambili, ukuba yiloo nto amandla omdyarho ayewufuna.
Kulula ukulibala ukuba kubo bonke ubunzima obungenakuphikiswa kunye nokuzenzakalisa okwenziwe nguMeya uBill de Blasio, wavuka waya ku-2013 kumjelo wokudinwa kweBloomberg. Iingcamango zakhe zikaMnu Bloomberg zazithandwa ngabantu: njenge-billionaire, wayengenakudibana nayo yonke imihla abantu baseNew York, kwaye umgaqo-nkqubo wakhe we-NYPD wokumisa kunye no-frisk wohlwaya abambalwa, abenkululeko bathi. Ukuxhalaba okunika amandla iphulo likaSanders kunye neTrump kungafumana intabalala yokuzonda malunga nosodolophu owayesakuba ngusodolophu omkhulu, owayekholelwa kumandla ombuso wongxowankulu baseMelika wokuphakamisa zonke izikhephe ngelixa etyebisa abantu ababelifanele. Kunyaka wesiphithiphithi esinje, umntu ozikhethelayo, oziphethe kakuhle kwezemali ngenkolelo yokuba urhulumente usafuna ukulawula izinto ezithile kubomi babantu isenokungabi yile nto bayinqwenelayo abavoti.
Ngaphandle kwezigxeki, kukho ityala elilula, elilungele isandi esilungiselelwe ngokuchasene noMnu Bloomberg, yayiziimbangi zakhe zokuya apho. Kwimpikiswano yangoLwesine, uMnu Rubio wabonakala ngathi ukothula ifayile yakhe yokuphikisa kuMnu Trump, kwaye nawuphina umgqatswa kamongameli onqwenela ngokwaneleyo angenza okufanayo nakuMnu Bloomberg.
Isithethi sikaMnu Bloomberg sinqabile ukuphawula ngeli bali.
Uninzi lwezona mpazamo zinkulu zolawulo lweBloomberg zeza kwikota yakhe yesithathu, xa inani elikhulu labantu baseNew York babekholelwa ukuba bekungafanelekanga ukuba useofisini. Ngoncedo lwesithethi seBhunga lesiXeko esingathandabuzekiyo, uMnu Bloomberg wakwazi ukunyanzela iBhunga ukuba lizivotele ngokwalo, kwaye yena, ikota yesithathu ngo-2008, ukwaphulwa komda wamaxesha amabini owadlulayo kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo. Ngokungaqhelekanga, ivoti ekugqibeleni yatshonisa ubutyebi besithethi seBhunga, uChristine Quinn, ophulukene noMnu de Blasio kwi2013.
Umnumzana Sanders kunye no Mnu Trump banokuziqhelanisa nehlazo le-CityTime yorhwaphilizo, uhlobo olothusayo, lokunkqonkqoza entlokweni olunokuthi lubhuqe olunye ulawulo. I-genesis yayo yayikulawulo lwangaphambili lweGiuliani, xa isixeko sakhupha ikhontrakthi yoyilo lwenkqubo yokuhlawula eyayiza kulandelela iiyure ezisetyenziweyo ngabasebenzi besixeko.

Ngo-2011, i-federal indictment yahlawuliswa ukuba ngaphezu kwe-600 yezigidi zeedola zale mali zahlanjululwa, ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo, ngobuqhetseba kunye namadoda amathathu ekugqibeleni wagwetywa ukuya entolongweni iminyaka engama-20 umntu ngamnye ngendima yakhe kule nkqubo. UMnu Bloomberg kuvunywa Kuya kufuneka ukuba abeke iliso kwisivumelwano ngenyameko.
Isimangalo sango-2011 safika kwakuloo nyaka apho uMnu Bloomberg wehlelwa yenye into ebangela iintloni: ikansela yakhe yezikolo, ngokucacileyo ingakulungelanga ukuthatha inxaxheba ekulawuleni inkqubo yemfundo yabafundi abasisigidi, kwanyanzeleka ukuba bayeke emva kweentsuku ezingama-95 besemsebenzini. Njengaye wangena ezihlangwini zakhe, uJoel Klein, uCathie Black, igosa eliphethe amaphephancwadi, wayengenayo imvelaphi kwezemfundo — nangona wayeqhuba kakubi kakhulu. Wacaphukisa abazali ngokuqhula esithi isisombululo sokuxinana ezikolweni ulawulo lokuzalwa ngakumbi. Ulinganise iimfuno ezonelisayo zendawo yokufundela ekwenzeni ezininzi zeSophie's Choices, isalathiso kwinoveli kunye nefilimu malunga nomama onyanzeliswa ukuba athathe isigqibo sokuba ngubani kubantwana bakhe obulawelwe kwinkampu yoxinaniso. Nkqu neeBloomberg zincedisa bakhalaza bucala Wayazi okuncinci ngomgaqo-nkqubo wezemfundo.

Kwisithuba nje senyanga emva kokuchongwa kukaNks. Izitrato ezininzi kwiidolophu zangaphandle zashiywa zingalinywanga, kwaye ulawulo lwaziswa ngobuchule balo lwanyeliswa ngamanye amagosa anyuliweyo kunye nabeendaba. Imifanekiso engapheliyo yabantu baseNew York, enokuba yingxaki enkulu kulonyulo lukazwelonke okanye ibhonasi, xa kuthathelwa ingqalelo indlela abavoti abayibonakalise ngayo indlela yokuphila entle kaMnumzana Trump. Bhermuda , ngeveki yakhe ekhaya. Umnumzana Bloomberg wakhangela ngakumbi ngaphandle kokuchukumisa xa ebuyela eNew York, wanyanzelisa ukuba isixeko sihambe njengesiqhelo kwaye sikhuthaze abantu abanokuphuma ngaphandle kwiidriveways zabo baye kubona umboniso weBroadway.
INkanyamba uSandy yonakalisa iindawo zeSixeko saseNew York ngo-2012, yaphinda yavavanya amandla olawulo eBloomberg okulawula emva kwentlekele. Umnumzana Bloomberg wanconywa ngokunceda ukukhupha isixeko ngaphandle koqoqosho emva kohlaselo lwango-9/11, ngokunyanzelisa ukunyuka kwerhafu engathandekiyo ukunyusa ingeniso efunekayo kwiinkonzo zedolophu. USandy, nangona kunjalo, angashiya iindawo zedolophu ngaphandle kwamandla kangangeeveki kwaye akhokelele abahlali kwizithili zangaphandle ukuba batshise malunga neManhattan efumana impatho ekhethekileyo.
Eyona nto yoyikisayo uMnu Bloomberg yayiyimizabalazo yolawulo lakhe yokwakha kwakhona iindawo ezonakalisiweyo. Yakha kwakhona, ikhulelwe njengendlela yokwakha ngokutsha amakhaya ngokubonelela ngoncedo ngelixa kuthintela inkunkuma kunye nenkohlakalo eyabetha emva kweNkanyamba uKatrina. ukuzidla yinkqubo yesicelo engqongqo nengalawulwa kakuhle, yokulibazisa ukwakha kwakhona. Amakhulu ezigidi kwiimali zomdibaniso ezibekelwe le nkqubo zahlala zingasetyenziswanga iinyanga ezininzi emva kokuba uSandy ehlasele; ngasekupheleni kukaFebruwari 2014, bekungekho makhaya abesakhelwe ngokutsha ngenkqubo kwaye akukho banini bamakhaya banikiweyo iitsheki zembuyekezo.
Kwaye ke kukho into enye ngokungafaniyo phakathi kukaMnu Bloomberg noMnu Trump. Kunyaka ophelileyo, uMnu umtyholwa Ngokugculela ngolunya a INew York Times ukukhubazeka komzimba wentatheli. Owayesakuba ngusodolophu — owayejongela phantsi intatheli ngokwaneleyo kwiminyaka eyadlulayo ukubiza umntu a ihlazo kunye nokugxotha enye ndincume kuye-kanye ukhutshiwe kwintatheli ebotshelelwe kwisitulo esinamavili efumana iteyiphu yakhe yokurekhoda ngempazamo edlala iaudiyo endala ngexesha lenkomfa yeendaba.
