NYC mayor tears into billionaire who shut down news sites

The Hill reports:
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday blasted Joe Ricketts, the billionaire founder of TD Ameritrade, for abruptly shutting down two local news brands a day earlier.

"Joe Ricketts is a coward," de Blasio wrote on Twitter. "He wouldn't last a minute under the intrepid scrutiny of the reporters he employed. What a loss for our city."
Comrade de Blasio learns that the demand for labor is always a downward sloping curve.
