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

[EvilEyeFleegle]

San Francisco has been doing that for the past 5 years since covid. I don't know if rent free is still occuring. SF also and has strict rent control. The result, housing shortages increase every year for the last 30 years or so. Want to buy a house in SF, prepare to fork out at least $1.5 million. Want a one bedroom apartment, $3000 unless it's a crappy neighborhood but still cost $2000. There are parts of SF that have virtually no blacks and Hispanics because of housing cost. Whites and Asians owned nearly all real estate in SF.

Indeed..all of that is true. However, if you think rent control is the only, or even the primary thing driving these undoubted fact--you should think again. Not that rent control doesn't play its part..but the majority of people benefiting from rent control are, in fact, Black and Brown..and working poor, for the most part.

These folks....bear looking at:

Billionaires and CEOs bet on cheap San Francisco real estate

The math for San Francisco has been particularly tough after the pandemic emptied out its buildings and sent residents fleeing for cheaper destinations.

Well, we see who the communists are on this board.

Zohran is a failed Ugandan rapper and a socialist who is going to take over the grocery stores.

HE ******* SAID IT.

City-owned grocery stores.​

Food prices are out of control. Nearly 9 in 10 New Yorkers say the cost of groceries is rising faster than their income. Only the very wealthiest aren’t feeling squeezed at the register.

As Mayor, Zohran will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit. Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing. With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real “public option.”

Shhh..hate to break it to ya..it ain't 1954 anymore~

In this case, one doesn't have to go that far back.

I think that it's a necessary thing. There always needs to be a last straw. The twin towers obviously weren't.

Did they have a mother. Do you believe she gave birth to full grown men. Did they eat food, Did they walk on two legs, Did they piss

Yes they had some differences and also similarities.

Yes one was Chinese and the other Russian but that just a label

Did they both have pre teen, teenage, and adult growth phases

Were they both leader of a nation

They both fall under the unbrella of communism and yes there are some differences in communist idiology and personality. The way they ran their respective countries.

Were they both considered communists
Yes their idiology may have been different but they still fall under the unbrella of communism.

Like all people there are differences but also similarities.

What's the difference between Mao and Stalin? Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin were both influential leaders in the 20th century who implemented communist ideolo...

Mao was for his people, no matter how misguided and evil he became.

Stalin started out evil and just ripened into it as his insanity deepened.

Mao was for his people

Spoiler: EEF's Bane:

Mao Zedong's rule:

• Great Leap Forward: The most significant contributor, with famine-related deaths estimated between 15 million and 45 million. Policies like forced collectivization and unrealistic agricultural targets led to widespread starvation. Some scholars, like Frank Dikötter, estimate up to 45 million based on archival research, while others, like Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, suggest figures on the higher end.
• Cultural Revolution: Estimates range from 400,000 to 10 million deaths due to purges, executions, and societal chaos. Violence targeted intellectuals, dissidents, and perceived "counter-revolutionaries."
• Other campaigns, like the Anti-Rightist Movement and land reforms, add several million more, with estimates of 1–5 million deaths from executions and forced labor.

Yeah, we're trying to avoid the Pogram thing here..no matter the tribe.

I don't see this guy as a bad thing..for New York.

As an aside, I wonder who the Jewish community is supporting for Mayor?

The Jewish moments that defined the NYC mayoral race, from Borough Park to the bimah

Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and other candidates in NYC mayoral election sought Hasidic endorsements with Yiddish ads, antisemitism plans.

forward.com

Mamdani came under fire for declining to co-sponsor resolutions earlier this year recognizing Israel’s independence and commemorating the Holocaust. He also faced backlash from his hard-line anti-Israel base for saying Israel has a right to exist.
He declined to recognize Israel specifically as a Jewish state and said he would refuse to visit the country as mayor. “I’m not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else,” Mamdani said in a TV interview.
Mamdani told a Muslim outlet that he has been “the foremost advocate” for Palestinian human rights. In appearances at local mosques, he labeled Israel’s exploding pager operation against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon last September as a targeted attack against civilians.

I know how many died..not that most people gave a shit then or now.

It was social engineering on the greatest scale ever attempted....and it was good for China..if you look at things that way.
I'm sure from China's perspective it's the price they had to pay..to no longer spread its legs for Europe and the USA.

History is made by monsters Ropey---both large and small.

Our Native population would agree, I'm sure....absent the few millions who fell victim to OUR social engineering.
