New York City Mayor Eric Adams stroked the fire of NYC residents with some of his incendiary comments on Tuesday (January 4) regarding workers in the Big Apple he regarded as “low-skilled” such as dishwashers and cooks rather than those in an office cubicle.
“My low-skilled workers — my cooks, my dishwashers, my messengers, my shoe shine people, those who work at Dunkin’ Donuts,” he stated in cringeworthy fashion. “They don’t have the academic skills to sit in a corner office. They need this. We are in this together, and we should be saying to ourselves, ‘If I remotely do my job, then that stock clerk is not going to be able to have the business he deserves.’ That’s what I need us to understand.”
While many voiced their frustrations with the new mayor’s comments on social media, T.I. even joined in on the excoriation of Adams by giving him some significant advice for his speeches going forward.

As a wordsmith himself, the trap legend let Adams know that “vocabulary matters” in The Shade Room‘s Instagram comment section.
“Eric Adams snap turtle ass really fixed his mouth to look down on the people who make this world rotate,” Hot 97 alum Scottie Beam added on Twitter. “It’s gonna be a long 4 years.”
While Adams is yet to apologize for his comments, he did speak about how he was once a cook and dishwasher during his college days. Those paychecks helped him make ends meet and that’s why he’s refusing to shut down New York City amid the surge in COVID-19 cases and put those same individuals out of work.
So the dishwashers getting offended now? Line cooks and dishwashers identify as high skilled now. You can claim anything in todays world. The people who judge the most got the softest skin I tell ya
Let me tell you what TIP won’t tell you.. You broke af and can’t even think about owning shit. But TIP got you thinking to buy Jordan’s and be fresh, oh and spend bread on bitches giving them “whatever they like.” You need to upgrade your position. Couple ways to do it but getting mad at reality ain’t it. It’s a game, you gotta play it or blow it up
Man people are sensitive af nowadays. If washing dishes isn’t low skill then what is?
As soon as we can be radically transparent and admit not all people are equal, the quicker we can work together as one. Dish cleaning is low skilled lol! You didn’t need 7 years of school and a hard grind to land your position. The media gonna run wild and upset all the “low skilled” workers with this one
