[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just listened to some of Mamdani's campaign promises.
He reminds me of a 5th grader running for student council "better school lunches, more recess!!". 
Just say what everyone would clearly want without any idea of how to make it happen: "free child care, rent control, cheaper groceries".
How could he possibly make any of these things happen? 
Take the free child care...are there enough providers? Enough actually locations? Who pays for all this?
Rent control? There already is rent control.
State run grocery stores? What? How? Where? When? Who?
All the question words apply and he never seems to directly answer logistical questions other that to say "tax the wealthy". 
This guy is a good talker, I'll give him that.[/quote]

He actually explains how he will fund these things if you care to find out.

Cities run  public water so is that any different than a grocery store in all honesty? A store per borough is not going to hurt anybody. Competition is the spirit of capitalism and government and politicians are already entangled in big business. Didn’t Hillary sit on the board for Walmart? Isn’t that kinda the same thing as a government run grocery store? If politicians are lobbying for Tyson food, Monsanto, Walmart, Amazon, then what difference does it make? [/quote]

When I was a kid, and poor, we used to get food from the "government store." I remember big blocks of government cheese. Why not just return to those days? It's probably easier than securing a building, hiring staff to run the store, and managing logistics of food delivery, storage, and distribution.[/quote]
