All you autocrats better get used to socialist candidates winning races.
AI is going to impact middle class employment opportunities.
5- 8% of the nation has generational wealth. Good for them. But, at some point, the other 90+% are going to wake up and change the rules of the game.
Hello Socialism. Hello AOC.
Socialism = Autocracy, dimwit.
You can't have a planned economy without forcing people to adopt the plan. You should read something to better yourself.
Tell that to the Swedes. They would be surprised.

Sweden was a stagnant socialist hellhole until market reforms in the 90s
You should read more, too.
Read the link, it will get you started on your journey.

Maybe you could have just said "Scandinavians" and posted the thought once.

Socialism has failed. It is Political Baloney.

The Norwegians will be so upset to hear this. They seem unaware that they have failed.

You get a failing grade on this one. Prof.
“Norway is not a socialist country, as its economy is a mixed market economy with significant free-market principles, but it is also a social welfare state with a strong social safety net funded by high taxes. The "Nordic model" combines capitalist private enterprise with government intervention in the form of high taxation to fund social programs like universal healthcare and education, which differs from traditional socialist ideals where the state owns and controls the means of production.
Norwegians are much more socialist than Mamdani. A+ for me.

Norway has about 6 million people. “F” you.
No way Norway is a true socialist country. Neither is Sweden.
Don’t be absurd.
Well clearly you’re the expert so why should I bother

Condescend elsewhere. I am demonstrably correct and you know it.
Remember this : En Garde!!!
I'm hoping this re-invigorates the NYC rap scene. NYC's best rap happened when the city was a dump.

It's removed Mamdani from the rap scene...so that's an improvement already...of a sort...

Well maybe he is the right man for the job.

In your own words ......
Brilliant quote. But stupid to take it out of context. I was talking about paranoia in Higher Ed.
Can you refute what Josh Hammer said?
I believe that NYC voters are street smart, and defer to their voting choices -- aka "democracy."

There is nothing whatsoever "smart" about electing Mandami.

Not everyone believes that CEO's deserve $XXM compensations, but no Minimum Wage increases...
...as for NYC, the current Minimum Wage is below what many other U.S. municipalities provide, so an incremental increase is definitely warranted there...and given expected increases in inflation, a $30 target by 2030 is also justified...it remains to be seen where it ends up.
Mamdani's other proposals have already been enacted in various U.S. cities...with no harm to their economic well being.

Street smart?
So you do not refute Josh Hammer's assertions.

Other cities, like Pittsburgh, have serious drug abuse problems, not just NYC...there are no easy
answers...it's an ongoing effort to care for the addicted, while stemming the flow of drugs.

Everyone in NYC is about to get whatever they need.
This sounds vaguely familiar. Is Mamdami quoting someone?

Turns out giving kids a trophy for showing up maybe wasn't a great idea.
Immigrants and GenZ love the guy, in each case because he promises to give them free stuff.
The free bus proposal has been a proven failure in KC MO.

Not true. They LOVE this guy. They are 100% happy to see him elected.
They will be able to say that he is a commie jihadi or whatever, and then say that he is the face of the Democratic Party.
They LOVE this guy.
Is this rock bottom?
Your party embraces Mamdani and shuns Fetterman. That is who your party is in 2025.
The guy is a perfect boogeyman for you
I have paid almost no attention to this race. But everyone on the right is responding with glee about this guy, who they hope to turn into a boogeyman.
That's all I know for sure.
I don't care what happens in New York City. But you should care about your party.

His assertions are not without merit. It is a qualified opinion. LA Times has credibility.

Josh Hammer is anything but Objective or Un-biased...and he doesn't try to hide his agenda...
New Yorkers will decide if he is worthy of their votes.
