Works in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries: pay 65% of the population to not work, do nothing, and keep voting for them.

Sounds good to me

Where’s our multi-trillion dollar sovereign wealth fund with decades of oil?

I heard Mamdani on a podcast. He is proposing one grocery store in each borough to see if this might work to help bring down the cost of groceries if profit can be removed as a prerequisite. He is proposing this as an experiment to see if it's workable. His willingness to try new ideas is what excites me the most about him.

Does he have business experience?
Where is his wealth from?

What scares you about 4 grocery stores as an experiment to see if they help improve nutritional access/grocery prices in food desserts? Why does the source of his wealth or his background matter at all? Rich businessmen are also encouraged to test out new ideas, but hopefully they realize not all great ideas come from those already established.

Of course they won’t.

Only wealthy leftist yuppies and hippies will show up and the poor, disabled, and unemployed will continue to suffer and eat soda and McDonald’s elsewhere.

It’s ok for Israel to have socialism and welfare systems but not the us

Ain’t it weird what cohesive, well-aligned, homogenous educated democracies with real borders can accomplish?

Mira Nair is indeed a big deal. Not surprising that her offspring is breaking glass ceilings just like she did.

We don’t know how well this is going to go, but if it works well it’s going to trickle to other cities and states, and the elite can’t have that. I’m telling you right now, they are going to make sure he fails.

Oh he’ll fail gloriously, but it will be up to NyC voters on how much damage and for how long they let him.

So glad we dumped our nyc commercial real estate holdings in our endowment a few years ago.

Post covid, all commercial real estate is down except the ones that the Kushner family coerces Gulf Arabs to buy.

What did Colbert say about Mamdani??

Colbert interviewed Mamdani and basically fed into the “you’re an antisemite” framing from the very beginning. Mamdani handled it very gracefully and intelligently.

The guy is a media phenom, imho.

We finally time we tax the wealthy elites in new york and fund a bigger and stronger government. Free healthcare, free food, raise minimum wage, 3 day work weeks (go unions!) eliminate homelessness and all poverty! It should be mandatory that all schools hit diversity quotas and are taught about LGBTQ+ inclusivity in each grade! We can’t stand for a Cuomo predator. Defund the police and tax the rich!! This is the model of America that I can get behind.

I read this and think to myself, congratulations, NYC. You - once again - have brought this upon yourself.

On MY back, with MY dollars.

Their astounding tech sector, academia, life sciences sector, and income taxes pay for most of what they have accomplished.

The pager project was ingenious as well. I hope we paid for a piece of that!
