Reply to comment by TheCardiganKing in Former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter: I won't run again by dotcom-jillionaire

He dealt with the occupy performance art and the biggest recession that wasn't a depression and he steered the city through it.

I just wish the next mayor does the Obama thing and listens to their predecessors and cherry picks the best advice.

Also listen to Sam Katz, it works better if you hear an opposing point of view every once in a while.

I wouldn't exactly call occupy a performance art. However, it lost its way and never made a cohesive argument at the end. I was there for a lot of those arguments, it was a shame how it ended up. Such promise squandered.

It eschewed central leadership and instead relied on obscure communal rules to accomplish its goals-- is that an accurate representation?
