NYC biz leaders left shaking over prospect of Zohran Mamdani mayoral win: ‘It would be disastrous

[g5000]

It's inevitable, NYC already has 150 billion in debt, implement of more socialism is a fool's errand

Maybe they need capitalist Donald Trump as mayor to bring down debt.

Oh wait...

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

It's not just "other ideas" though, people simply want temperance. As you rightly stated, regulation is a critical component of capitalism.

For too long we've had reckless capitalism on steroids, at the expense of everything else and everyone. This mindset is coming to an end.

In reality, NYC has increasingly applied your ideas for the past fifty years. The results are to be expected.

 

[Paradoxical#1]

New Yorkers are not very friendly.

I gotta say. It looked like the United Nations there on their roads and toll roads that cost an arm and a leg and in typical government fashion are not maintained. It was like being forced to go on a jerky carnival ride and being tossed around like a ragdoll with criminal-looking people on the ride with you all scowling and looking like they would kill you in a New York minute.

 

[Polishprince]

I'm not the dolt that thinks muslims support gays and trannies, that would be you.

Mr. Mamdani is a Ugandan citizen, and polls indicate that the Uganda people oppose homosexuality by a 96-4% margin.

The 2023 law that the Uganda parliament passed to crack down on the practice is very popular.

 

[g5000]

I'm a comfy capitalist, but the big mistake the Right makes is to think that regulation is the bane of capitalism. The fact is, smart and efficient regulation is a critical component of capitalism. Without it, not only do you get increasing wealth disparities, you get disasters like the 2008 Meltdown.

Then, yeah, people start looking for other ideas. So it's just a self-inflicted wound.

Precisely.

When one system fails the people, the pendulum swings the other way.

Happens every time.

If the commies hate him, and the oligarchs hate him, he may be doing something right.

Nah, the left is a bunch of cannibals, they eat their own.

Face facts, they don’t like him because he is brown. It’s the racism of the privileged white political left. Same folks who say black people are to incompetent to get IDs.

Yep, the people of NYC are exactly like the dolt of an op who praises British citizens for voting in muslims who are so accepting of gays and trannies. I just wish, for once, that these idiots would pay a real price for their decisions. That's the biggest problem we have today, people are insulated from consequences, and it can't go on forever.

The left was responsible for the 2008 meltdown for essentially deregulating the housing market years before. A liberal’s heart is far bigger than their brain.

 

[Paradoxical#1]

Yeah, by telling businesses and property owners they can only charge what the city approves. I wish them luck.

In Santa Monica Calif they had a bunch of left-wing elitists in control there in 1979 and instituted rent controls mainly because that city is very wealthy and close to the beach. Naturally, rents were high and that wasn't right. Poor people should also be close to the beach. So, what happened is no one ever moved. That meant the owners couldn't increase rents to market value. Of course, investors saw what was happening and no investor built any apartment buildings anymore. The result? A shortage of rentals in Santa Monica.

Who knew?

You're exactly correct and if Mac was really involved in economics he'd know that. It's taught in Econ 101. But he's not

I am just happy Cuomo go by by.

 

[MarcATL]

Does his name matter?

He is just an empty suit Muslim socialist that was put there because NYC allows illegals to now vote

This election is the model playbook for the entire country.

Even Bill Clinton supported him, which begs the question, should the DNC now unapologetically announce they are all socialists?

What's an "empty suit?"

Winner. Those fools (led by Barney Frank) thought it was a good idea to force banks to make loans to people who would never be able to pay them back. After all, not doing so would be racist.

 

[SweetTea]

Not to worry.
All those who finally see their lives degrade into slum status will simply move to places run by Conservatives, and quickly replace all the conservatives so that their new area can be more diverse, equitable, pedo friendly, easy gender changes for minors and well....just like the place they ran from. (Isn't this already the reality?)

And as always, passive conservatives will oblige them every step of the way. So all is great!
If we were brutally honest with ourselves this would be indisputable.

Unfortuntaely, this is true.

My area of the country has been invaded. The invaders rarely change their political ideologies, despite fleeing their previous states because of politics. They are stubborn, idealistic, unwise children. My area is still solid red, but if it ever turns blue, I will be moving. The problem is these people will follow me wherever I go to do the same thing again.

Pay attention "Mac" lol

What ideas are those? List them.

BTW, NYC is the city w/the most millionaires per capita, the financial capital of the world, the business capital of the world, the fashion capital of the world, the city of the world, damn near the center of the world.

That's why when terrorists wanted to show the world they mean business, they attacked NYC, because they know all the above is true.

They're doing very well.

WTF are you yapping about?

 

[marvin martian]

Most rheterical. Will the Democrats learn anything here?

You never do.

But it's going to be a lot of fun to watch New York City collapse.

Yes, their argument is that it was prospectors that actually harmed the market the most but the main point is that they were too stupid to realize that loan requirements are lowered it isn’t just poor people with bad credit that will take advantage of the situation. In general, Democrats are very naive and have very little foresight.

 

[MarcATL]

Government supermarkets to start. The peasants will pay for that.

What's wrong w/that idea?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

What's wrong w/that idea?

Everything
