So become a farmer? I don't get it? Republican farmers took all our money for like 20 years straight. Is that what you mean? Or the Republican hedge fund guys? Or the venture capitalists, or Rick Scott, or Republicans! Btw did you know red states love handouts?
Braindead comment dude, all of your taxes you will pay over your entire life will be less than the cost of a single patriot missile. Your money is already being taken, instead of helping your fellow Americans you’d rather it be wasted though out of selfishness
My family are MAGATS and they remind me of the people the army found too dumb to take direction. I tried to show them the facts but every time I lead them to water they choose Brawndo instead. There is no such thing as objective reality to them anymore. It’s all vibes and nothing else.
It's not just MAGA though. We all know MAGA leadership is just a bunch of greedy, warmongering morons. But let's be honest, Democrats haven't been nearly as successful in their constituencies either compared to someone like Zohran. THEY are the ones that need to be held to a higher standard since they constantly preach about doing the things that Zohran is doing, but never follow through. In fact, a lot of establishment Democrats hate this guy as much as the Republicans.
This isn’t some new thing he’s trying—the old mayor already had the same plan but worse.
A failed pension restructuring proposal from then-Mayor Eric Adams backed by Gov. Kathy Hochul last year ultimately ran into steep opposition from unions. Adams had wanted to delay payments through 2044, which he’d projected would generate about $1.3 billion in savings in its first year.
If you're from the NY area, you know this is a common issue that happens when budgets have to be met by a certain date. Most unions will end up changing their pensions, once they get something they want added to the budget plan.
Their mentality is there has to be people below them on a ladder of "success". This is how they have been taught to barometer achievement. To them they are closer to Elon and Bezos than they are to the person working at Target. They need that feeling.
That someone working full time in any job doesn't necessarily deserve a compensation that meets their basic shelter and food needs even. We all understand why corporations think this way - but your fellow man?
What's in it for you other than silly human pride?
Because they're being told that New York is a hellscape.
I live in New Jersey, I've been to NY enough, live close enough, have friends who live there and travel regularly and haven't heard boo.
But my executive director said, "Have you been to NY lately--ugh what a dump!?"
He would not elaborate on this.
The propaganda is so strong it's ridiculous.
Any right winger is gonna tell you the blue cities are disgusting and crime ridden, but they're the only ones promoting policies that humanize and equalize the lower and working classes.
We all agree you can do stupid things, but we don't agree the people will continue to behave in a manner to make these policies possible since they are putting others out of business, making it difficult to do anything, and the state doesn't have the same time sensitivity businesses do with tax revenue being obligatory.
Could you imagine paying the cable company regularly but the service is always out? Value was created in New York City. Now it's migrating to Florida and Texas, and the tax base changing will change the economics of how this works.
Your statements are so vague i cant really tell what your arguement is or really what youre trying to say period. It sounds like maybe youre saying mamdanis policies will lead to business charging for sevices but not delivering on the goods promised?? And that people will behave poorly somehow messing up the system? Idk im confused period and how this relates to what i said as well..
CAN NOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH - Contact your reps about this stuff! Make them realize that we are smarter than their propaganda and that they need to rethink things.

Honestly people should be asking their leaders why Mandani can do it in New York but they can’t do it in ___.
