This is true. However, his reactionary policies won't address the causes of these bad economic outcomes but will instead make them worse.


Works just fine in many other countries. NYC is practically its own small country, so it’s a great place to pilot it in the US.


In which country does it work just fine?


Any democratic socialist country works to make things better for its population, and they run many public-private partnerships, as would be the case here.

This is not a radical idea, but it seems that some people have really been conditioned to hate the idea of people getting benefits from their tax money. Pretty weird if you ask me.

None of this is socialism, or really is going to move the needle making the problems the city has go away. There is no shortage of affordable food in NYC, there are many fruit carts where one can buy cheap produce on the way from work, food trucks and affordable take out places even in Manhattan. Fine dining is very expensive and mediocre mid range restaurants are overpriced, but NYers aren't necessarily struggling with fewer or more expensive food options than elsewhere. That's nonsense. They literally give free lunches to kids coming to city pools and there are soup kitchens for the homeless. Public schools had free lunches for everyone just a few years ago, not sure if now.

Housing affordability issues he isn't even trying to address, because it's a loaded gun and he has no clue. His excessive focus on foreign conflicts is completely useless in helping poor and middle class afford paying their bills. He is just pandering to the students and the youth to win their votes while his campaign has nothing that would truly make a diff in helping them afford their lives.

He is just another puppet performing for the grifters behind him.

He's not a puppet. He is giving his voters exactly what they want. When they run out of money, they will move on and vote for the same nonsense all over again.

Capitalism not done right is the problem. Anything extreme doesn’t work. Why can’t people accept there are programs called socialist programs that are necessary and working alongside non corrupt capitalism would work.

Capitalism has a huge problem though, it’s greed and corruption. And capitalists are the first ones that want to eliminate regulations to keep corruption and greed in check.

Once the most corrupt broken administration leaves office maybe the country two can work together. Just like the most successful countries in the world

If they're doing it in KC, is it really that radical? I'd not know that Kansas City was a hotbed of lefty socialism. Clearly the execution can be improved with lessons learned.

There is already no money. Most students in Columbia and NYU are well off and are supported by their parents. They do not have the same concerns. He is giving them what they want for sure, which is empty promises and useless fist shaking at Israel when he has zero efficacy in changing anything.
Maybe they will care when their bar drinks and takeout get even more expensive or their parents insist they commute to their classes from Queens.

Look Hasbara bs’er. We all know what your real opposition to ZM is. Disgusting.

There are areas of NYC where there are fresh food shortages and a lack of grocery stores, that’s all he’s trying to address with a small pilot program. But of course you don’t know this because you don’t live in NYC and you’re trolling.

He’s not excessively focused on ‘foreign conflicts’ (what a tidy way to refer to the genocide Israel is committing). You are.

It’s July 24 and the still ongoing hand ringing over an uber liberal candidate just because he is of partial Muslim descent tells me more about a certain group’s deep seated and frankly alarming hatred than anything else.

It's not just about that. You have 138 pages of answers. Probably 150 if you count deleted content.

It's typical you. You focus on what you like and discard everything else in the DCUM bubble.

Fresh food shortages? Thank YOUR leftist policy for that. You don't solve problems. You create them. Just like locking all the merchandise behind glass instead of getting tough on crime. Your ideology causes problems.

We don't need another one of your experiments. They fail every time.

Except I'm a feminist Christian. The problem with ZM is that he thinks he's born to rule bc he is a man. Yet, his only real skill is making videos.

Is this how the next four years will be if he wins? Any criticism will be dismissed offhandedly as anti-Muslim. It was like this with Obama, too. Any criticism was dismissed offhandedly as racism.
