[quote=Anonymous]I think that JLG just says stuff (albeit more persuasively than McDuffie) but there's no substance behind it.  She seriously thinks that she is going to say FU to Trump and then, when DC gets whacked for it-- somehow the courts or a Republican-controlled Congress are going to save her?  How incredibly shortsighted.  Even DSA Mamdani figured out pretty quickly that flattering and placating the Narcissist-in-Chief was the way to keep him from interfering in NYC.  Same with the "I will use the DC pension fund" to invest in housing.  What does that even mean?  If private equity (including many pension funds) is refusing to invest in DC because equity believes that the absurdly one-sided pro-tenant laws and new rent control initiatives will not provide sufficient investment returns, then is she prepared to blow the DC government employees' pensions on substandard investments.  And if she does and the fund suffers losses, will she then be crying to the DC taxpayer to bail her out of a mess she shouldn't have gotten the pension fund into?  I'm not wild about McDuffie, but I do at least feel like he might have some interest in rational economic policy. [/quote]
