New York City Unveiled New Scaffolding, And Somehow We're Talking About Communism

Posted on Oct 21, 2026 UTC

If you've ever been to New York City, then you've seen the scaffolding all over the place:

Literally everywhere.

FWIW, the purpose of the scaffolding is to protect pedestrians from any falling construction debris. 

Well, you might start seeing something a little different:

The Mamdani administration has unveiled a whole new design for them.

It's called a "speed shed," and according to the city's website, it features an angled roof with netting designed to catch falling debris while still letting light through. It also has detachable wheels so it can be moved from place to place.

Here's another look:

A post about it from Pop Base is going viral, and people have THOUGHTS + opinions.

Some people are VERY mad about it.

One of those people is Spencer Pratt:

His whole "communists" rant kinda backfired on him.

Let's look at the replies!

"Nothing is draining into building you moron….there are holes for water….they are to protect people walking from falling debris."

Another person said, "Are you really this stupid or is it like a bit?"

And finally, "He’s really leaning into the whole right-wing grifter thing."

Anyway, all of this over scaffolding! He really gets everyone worked up over the little things. Bye!
