Op-Eds
When I was sworn in as the 110th mayor of New York City, I promised to “Get Stuff Done.” That has been our focus ever since coming into office, and this past year was no different.
But, in 2024, we did more than just get stuff done — we delivered for you, every day and everywhere. We drove down crime, put billions of dollars back into working-class New Yorkers’ pockets, and shattered records for the most jobs, small businesses, and affordable housing construction in our city’s history.
Thanks to our tireless police officers, New York remains the safest big city in America. Overall crime is down, with shootings, homicides, and transit crime all down by more than 6 percent this year. We put more police officers on our streets and took thousands of illegal guns, mopeds, and ATVs off of them.
We seized more than 6,000 illegal guns in 2024, bringing the total number of guns removed from the streets to 19,600 since January 2022. We also cracked down on car theft and had 12 straight months in reductions.
Safer streets and subways are just the start. Our “Charge Safe, Ride Safe” plan has helped cut lithium-ion battery fire deaths by 72 percent since we introduced it in 2023, while our “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative has shut down more than 1,300 illegal cannabis and smoke shops.
To keep our young people safe and healthy, we delivered free, virtual therapy to 16,000 teenagers — largely in underserved neighborhoods — through our “Teenspace” initiative and sued the companies that own major social media platforms to hold them accountable for fueling the youth mental health crisis.
This year, we also focused on not only creating a safer city, but a more affordable one, too.
Affordability means having the resources and benefits to take care of expenses. We launched our “Money in Your Pocket” initiative to connect New Yorkers to dozens of federal, state, and local programs to save…

Let us be honest—money matters. Whether it is covering bills, saving for the future, or dealing with unexpected expenses, finances touch almost every part of our lives. But here is the kicker: financial stress does not just stay at home. It follows people to work, affecting focus, productivity, and even overall health.
So, why are we not talking about it more? Maybe because money feels like a private topic, or maybe it is because we do not always know where to start. But ignoring it does not make the problem go away. In fact, for HR professionals, overlooking financial stress can lead to bigger issues within the workplace. Let us dig into why it matters—and what we can do about it.
The Real Impact of Financial Stress
Ever tried focusing on a project when your mind’s racing about how to cover rent or pay off credit card debt? It is not easy. That’s the reality for many employees who are juggling financial worries while trying to stay productive at work.
Mental Health Takes a Hit
Financial stress is one of the top contributors to anxiety and depression. It is exhausting, emotionally draining, and—when it lingers—it can lead to burnout. Employees who feel overwhelmed by their finances are often less engaged, more irritable, and prone to making mistakes.
Physical Health Suffers Too
Stress does not just stay in your head. It creeps into your body, causing headaches, muscle tension, and even long-term problems like high blood pressure. And let’s not forget how financial worries can disrupt sleep—because nothing says restful night like replaying bills in your mind at 2:00 a.m.

The Giants’ struggles over the last two seasons have exposed glaring weaknesses across the roster. From inconsistent quarterback play to a lackluster defense, there’s no shortage of areas to address. The 2025 offseason will be pivotal in determining whether the team can bounce back or continue to languish at the bottom of the standings.
Let’s take a closer look at their key offseason priorities.
Quarterback: The Franchise’s Cornerstone
Draft Prospects and Strategy
The Giants are projected to have the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, giving them the chance to select a top quarterback prospect like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. Both players offer the potential to transform the franchise, but history shows that rookie quarterbacks often struggle without the right support system.
As a result, the New York Giants odds for the upcoming season will largely depend on how quickly their young signal-caller can adapt to the pro game and the support he receives from the coaching staff – and his fellow teammates..
The Giants must focus on creating an environment where their young quarterback can thrive. This includes solid coaching, offensive weapons, and a reliable offensive line.
Veteran Bridge Options
With a rookie QB, the Giants need a veteran presence to bridge the gap. Free agents like Sam Darnold, Justin Fields, or Jameis Winston could provide valuable experience and stability. A mid-level option…
