Thread by @Sultanknish on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "New York Times interviewed 5 Mamdani supporters and announced based on that, that "Many" Jews support Mamdani. There was a time when seeing a NYT headline, you would assume there's some basis for it. Nope. This is how much of a clown show the paper has become. the NYT is forced to admit that actual precinct data shows Jews voting for Cuomo but decides to ignore it in favor of talking to 5 leftists and using that as 'evidence' that many Jews back Mamdani. then it gets even worse. the Times claims that the fellow radical leftist whom Mamdani campaigned with, Brad Lander, is of Jewish ancestry, which must mean Jews voted for Mamdani. Using that same argument, Jews must have not only voted for Bernie Sanders, but AOC. The New York Times ran an article claiming "Many" Jews supported Mamdani based on zero evidence, which was limited to anecdotal interviews with 5 people. the paper does zero fact checking when it has an agenda to push @carolynryan and no one should trust anything it says"

Almost all of them are not considered to be producing any credible research by the field. This letter is a completely different beast than something signed by, say, Ed Glaeser, Raj Chetty, or even a Piketty type.

I'm not sure those balls are being used to positive effect here but yeah ya know ballsy"
Support for Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral election is a warning to West - "Even as neo-liberalism has delivered brilliantly for the elite classes, and the highly educated middle classes, it has never worked well for the aspirations of most middle and working class Westerners. Across the 36 wealthier countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the middle class “looks increasingly like a boat in rocky waters”, according to a report by that organisation. Critically, home ownership, the ultimate symbol of middle class respectability, is fading out of sight for many. In the United States, the chance of middle-class earners moving up to the top rungs of the earnings ladder has dropped by approximately 20 per cent since the early 1980s, while life expectancy in the US has been declining. So even as the vast majority of Americans reject the Left’s cultural agenda, they also, by roughly four-to-one, favour higher taxes on the rich and government-imposed reductions on drug prices. Indeed a strong majority of people in 28 countries, according to an Edelman survey, believe capitalism does more harm than good. More than four in five worry about job losses, most particularly from automation. Inequality and general fear of downward mobility naturally lead to a rise in support for expanded government and greater re-distribution of wealth. Current economic changes, notably artificial intelligence, seem likely to boost the ranks of the downwardly mobile educated classes. In the US, some 40 per cent of recent graduates are underemployed, working in jobs where their college credentials are essentially worthless. In the UK, roughly a third of young people doubt that they will reach their career goals. In the US, close to half of adults under 30 still live with their parents. Low unemployment numbers hide the growing percentage of young working class people who now remain outside the labour pool entirely. In Europe, up to a fifth of the population under 30 is neither in school or a job, most resoundingly in Italy, the EU’s third largest economy. In the UK, one out of seven aged under 25 is on the economic sidelines, the highest level in a decade. This younger, economically marginalised new proletariat – sometimes called the precariat – constitutes the base of Mamdani’s drive... Similar phenomena can be seen in Europe, where an alliance of Leftist activists and Muslims made Trotskyite Jean-Luc Melenchon a favourite among younger voters. German working class voters have embraced the hard-right AfD, with almost 40 per cent, but also Die Linke, which is thought to have won a quarter of the youth votes in the latest elections, more than the Social Democrats and Greens combined. Others embraced the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, which mixes socialism with a strong anti-immigrant twist... Mamdani is only in his early 30s, and his rise suggests the potency of a coalition of young people, immigrants, and lower wage workers favourable to the radical redistribution of wealth and stomping out capitalism. Unless proponents of capitalism awaken to these dangers, and address these concerns, the Left may yet rise again to the shock and consternation of those who so blithely celebrate its current demise."
America has plenty of experience with government-run stores, and it isn't pretty - "he called the stores a "public option" like in health care; he said they would not pay rent or property taxes, they would "operate without a profit motive," and their "mission [would be] lower prices, not price gouging." (As of January 2025, the grocery industry's average net profit margin was under 2 percent.) Some have come to Mamdani's defense, saying city-owned grocery stores are not as radical as they sound—in fact, some states already have them, without becoming socialist hellscapes. Some have compared this plan to states that control liquor sales. But in each case, the comparison is unflattering to Mamdani's proposal... The city council in Erie, Kansas, purchased the city's only grocery store in 2020 rather than let it close. The city operated the Erie Market for years but at a loss: Erie's mayor said the average customer needed to spend $50 per month for the store to stay afloat, but the actual monthly expenditure was closer to $14. Last year, Erie leased out the store to be run by a private company... Baldwin, Florida, opened a fully government-owned grocery store in 2019 after the town's only grocer closed the previous year. The town already owned the site, having purchased the lot and funded the building's construction a decade earlier in an attempt to woo a grocer to town. "We're not trying to make a profit," Mayor Sean Lynch, a Republican, told The Washington Post when Baldwin Market opened. "We're trying to cover our expenses, and keep the store running." The store closed in 2024 after being in business for less than five years. "The town-run store," The Florida Times-Union wrote at the time, "has struggled for years…to reach the break-even point." Citing Lynch, researchers at Vanderbilt University found, "that the lack of 'buying power' harms local grocery stores as they compete for customers with Wal-Mart and other big-box grocers, who can offer much lower prices. Even with only needing to break even, Baldwin Market still feels the pressure from these grocers. While these big-box grocers must also balance profits, they can lower their costs for consumers by tapping into those larger distribution networks. Because of this bottom-line difference in product costs, some residents still choose to make the longer commute and shop at a store ten miles outside of town." It's worth noting that in the above examples, governments stepped in when a small town's only grocery store went out of business. It makes even less sense in a city like New York, with 1,000 grocery stores serving 8.5 million people—a ratio of 8,500-to-1, where grocers typically see 15,000-to-1 as a viable market... "Seventeen states have state run liquor stores, including Alabama, West Virginia, New Hampshire, and Montana. No one thinks these are socialist states," Aeon editor Sam Haselby added. "People need some perspective."... "Monopoly of alcohol retail outlets appears to be associated with slightly higher liquor prices," according to a 2014 study. "Only five brands were at least 10% more expensive in license states, while 27 brands were at least 10% more expensive in control states." State-run liquor stores also serve a very different purpose than grocery stores, or even from liquor stores in non-control states. "The goal of alcohol control states is to ultimately benefit public health by limiting the sale of alcohol and to pass on profits from liquor sales to state programs," according to Bottle POS, a software company for liquor stores. "Residents of control states consume 14% less spirits and 7% less total alcohol than residents of license states," brags Alcohol Justice, which advocates against the alcohol industry... State liquor stores are more expensive than non-state-run stores—which is a feature, not a bug. A government-run grocery store with higher prices would be the worst of both worlds. Government-run retail establishments are inherently less efficient than their private-sector counterparts. "Public options" like Mamdani advocates don't have to make a profit and can count on taxpayer money to prop up any losses. For an industry like grocery stores, which already have razor thin profit margins, a publicly-funded competitor would be a bad deal for New Yorkers."
Clearly, they just needed more subsidies, or to ban consumers from going to the competition
Zohran Mamdani has barely ever held a job, and has no experience in government: sources - "Zohran Mamdani has barely ever held a job, admitted he’s a nepo baby and has no experience in local government... New York City Mayor candidate Mamdani – who has lived most of his life in subsidized housing – failed in his attempts to be a rapper, musician and managing previous political campaigns. An analysis of the 33-year-old’s work history shows he has been employed for only approximately three years in the time between graduating college in 2014 and being elected to the New York State Assembly in 2020. Behind the shiny social media posts of the progressive upstart there is little substance and no proof of success, critics point out. “What does this guy know?” said political strategist Hank Sheinkopf. “He’s a make believe character who has no idea how the city works, how to run a jail, how to run a subway system and the biggest sanitation department in the country... A spokesman for Mamdani’s campaign refused to provide his resume or say how long he had worked for Chhaya and declined comment to The Post Monday. Highlighting his lack of experience, Liena Zagare, editor of The Bigger Apple newsletter at the Manhattan Institute told The Post: “Mamdani’s running a campaign full of slogans, crowds, and big promises—but he’s never managed a budget, run a large agency or had to deliver results in real time. “That kind of inexperience risks turning hope into gridlock, and vision into chaos, and voters should be clear eyed about that.” As a member of the state assembly, Mamdani has been long on advocacy but done little to craft actual legislation, passing only three bills during his tenure, including one for a free MTA bus pilot project. In addition, he’s been absent for 50 percent of Assembly votes — more than any other member of the Assembly... “Unfortunately, Mr. Mamdani is running on an agenda uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges.” Political strategist George Arzt, who worked as press secretary in former New York City Mayor Ed Koch’s administration between 1978 and 1989, agreed. “I don’t think Zohran is prepared for the mayoralty,” said Arzt. “He’s young and totally lacks credentials for the job. Running a campaign on pure left wing ideology is a losing proposition for running the city.”"
Zohran Kwame Mamdani on X - "We’ll have to wait to see if our lead holds. But to be leading even amidst a global pandemic makes it clear: another world really is possible. Together, we can tax the rich, heal the sick, house the poor, defund the police & build a socialist New York. Solidarity forever."
Mamdani’s government grocery stores plan is based on an accounting error - "When Zohran Mamdani, the New York Democratic mayoral nominee, defends his idea of socialist grocery stores, he says he can pay for them by cutting city subsidies to “corporate grocery stores.” This claim is based on a basic misunderstanding of the city’s current grocery subsidies. The money he plans to use to pay for his city-owned grocery stores is money the city doesn’t have. Specifically, he wrongly believes that the city is spending $140 million to subsidize private grocery stores, and he thinks he can take half of that money and use it to build government groceries... “That should be compared to the city’s existing program called City FRESH, where they are set to spend $140 million, subsidizing corporate grocery stores … So we would take less than half of the money the city is already set to spend, and actually deliver results,” he said. What is this FRESH program? The Food Retail Expansion to Support Health is a bundle of tax breaks and special regulatory relief for grocery stores that open up in so-called food deserts: poor neighborhoods where the city has concluded residents don’t have adequate access to produce and other healthy foods. The subsidy includes some tax breaks: building taxes stay at the pre-improvement level for a few years, land taxes are abated, there are some tax breaks for building the store, and some of the transfer taxes are cut. (The store still collects and remits sales tax, pays payroll taxes, pays corporate income taxes, et cetera.) The FRESH program can also include some zoning and regulatory relief. The tax breaks have saved the grocery stores a few million dollars each year. Here are the hard numbers: All in all, the city has given up about $30 million in tax revenue through this program. In the last six years, since FRESH got into full swing, the program has reduced revenue by about $20 million total, according to the city’s estimates. That is, it costs an average of $3.3 million per year. So, this program would take 42 years to cost the city the $140 million that Mamdani says “the city is set to spend” on it. So why does Mamdani use that $140 million number? He misread the city’s webpage. The city’s Economic Development Corporation estimates that grocery stores have invested $140 million of their own money thanks to the FRESH program. Mamdani is counting the $140 million in private spending as government spending... The really socialist way to read this is that Mamdani believes that money invested by private grocery stores is his to spend. The more likely explanation is that Mamdani misunderstands the government website and thus is planning to pay for his grocery stores with money that doesn’t exist."
Left wingers think that tax breaks are corporate subsidies in the sense of giving companies money, which is why they always go on about "corporate subsidies" and sometimes even claim that companies pay negative taxes
$14B in income vanishes from NYC as 125K residents flee for Florida - "More than 125,000 New Yorkers have fled for Florida in recent years — taking nearly $14 billion worth of income out of the Empire State, a new report found.

Meanwhile, in New York, there was a net outflow of 12,040 high-earners, with those movers reporting an average AGI of $1.1 million."

Ex-New Yorkers dish on why they moved to Florida for good: ‘People thought we were crazy’ - "“People thought we were crazy when we were telling them this but it just started getting more and more bleak in New York,” Taub told The Post. “For the same price that we were paying [for a two-bedroom apartment] in New York, we were getting a five-bedroom, four-bathroom house with a pool and a backyard.”... Bryan Goldberg, CEO of Bustle Media, said South Florida “is composed of dozens of small towns with accessible, sane leaders who work hard to improve our lives.” “I can get on the phone with the Miami Beach mayor at any time, and so can any of my neighbors,” he added. “Once one experiences this sort of relationship with their government, it is impossible to return to the Kafkaesque NYC experience.”... “Why do I want to pay New York state or New York City taxes when I walk out my door and there’s a homeless person, or my Walgreens is shut down because of theft?” many of Holland’s clients told her. These transplants “hate what New York City has become” – complaining of crime and the stench of weed, she said... "Taxes and weather have existed since the beginning of time in New York,” Feingold told The Post. But what changed in the last 18 months is the “cumulative effect” of crime and immigration, he added. Feingold said that none of the people who moved from New York to South Florida have regretted their decision."
J.D. Tuccille: NYC mayor hopeful's stated goal is 'seizing the means of production' - "Before being elected to the state legislature as a Democrat and a socialist, Mamdani tried his hand as a government employee and a rapper. His musical output included the song “Salaam,” which, as The Independent put it , “praised the ‘Holy Land Five’ — five men convicted in 2008 of donating over $12 million to Hamas.“... on the record as his intention, is “the end goal of seizing the means of production.” In the 2021 recording in which he advocated seizing the means of production, Mamdani endorsed BDS as an issue “that we firmly believe in.”... Ihis formal response as a New York State Assemblyman to Hamas’s bloody October 7 attack on Israel, Mamdani commented: “the path toward a just and lasting peace can only begin by ending the occupation and dismantling apartheid.” He also frequently accuses Israel of engaging in “ genocide ” in its response to Hamas and refuses to condemn calls to “globalize the intifada” which many view as targeting Jews outside Israel with attacks such as we’ve seen in Boulder , Montreal , and Washington, D.C ... In an analysis of voting data , Bloomberg found that — contrary to socialists’ claims of representing the working class — Mamdani’s votes were concentrated at the higher end of the income spectrum. He edged out Cuomo for the votes of those making more than $150 thousand per year and romped to victory among middle-class voters who earn between $50 thousand and $150 thousand per year. “The former governor, however, outperformed Mamdani in low-income neighborhoods by a 13-point margin.” Cost of living is a major concern for New York City residents, topping issues in polls . The wealthy can insulate themselves from the problem and the poor have programs that ease their burdens. That leaves middle-income voters — especially renters — as the most anxious in a pricey city. “High costs of living are pushing middle-income families out of New York City,” commented the Bloomberg analysts. That’s true, but socialist math doesn’t add up in any way that will lower the cost of living. A New York University Stern School of Business annual survey shows a net profit margin of 1.97 per cent for retail grocery stores. Mamdani’s city-owned grocery stores aren’t going to squeeze a lot of savings out of that — especially given the sad history of government-owned businesses, and especially grocery stores ... A young-ish socialist who dislikes Israel and is iffy about his opinion of Jews in general is a dangerous bet in a country where socialism remains unpopular with the majority and most Americans are concerned about antisemitism ."

Mamdani: ‘I don’t think we should have billionaires’ amid tax the rich affordability push | State | fairfieldsuntimes.com - "Democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said Sunday he doesn’t think there should be billionaires, pointing to income inequality and concentrations of wealth in the U.S. “I don’t think that we should have billionaires,” Mamdani told NBC Sunday. “Because frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.”"
When left wingers want to "tax the rich" and talk about "taxing the rich", or making "billionaires pay their fair share", they mean taxing them until they are no longer billionaires / taxing them until they are no longer rich
Zohran Mamdani Plans to Empty NYC Jails If Elected Mayor - "“Violent crime is even used when people are accused of burglary and there happens to be a housing unit in that same dwelling. So violence is an artificial construction.” He went further, targeting the practices of district attorneys. “We have to be very clear that what is happening here with these district attorneys, that is violence”... “We must end mass incarceration and redirect the over $3 billion we spend annually locking people up for frivolous charges towards housing, jobs, and education.” He also emphasized systemic change, stating on January 23, 2020, “We must go beyond mild bail reforms to dismantle New York’s brutal system of mass incarceration.”... His administration’s 17-page public safety plan includes forming a sentencing reform commission to cut incarceration rates to 1950s levels within a decade... A recent poll showed that only 37% of New Yorkers support eliminating cash bail, down from 55% earlier this year"
Naturally, left wingers were trying to gaslight and pretend that this wasn't true
Criminals murdering people is just the voice of the oppressed, but the state imprisoning criminals is violence. We should have violent criminals out on the streets terrorising people than to have them in jail, just so we can reduce incarceration rates
New York swoons over an American Trudeau - "A successful takeover of Democratic leadership by its more radical representatives would all but guarantee an escalation of today’s ruthless partisanship to levels hitherto unimagined... The Democratic establishment was in turmoil well before the Mamdani surprise came along. Former vice-president Harris’s loss to Trump in November left it in disarray, with no clear successor and no obvious plan. The New York Times reported its national committee was “in chaos … plagued by infighting and a drop in big donations.” The party is so busy battling within itself it’s had little energy to spare for Republicans. The few signs of life have belonged to its most extreme elements. Firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders have headlined a series of well-attended rallies targeting the rich and old guard. Mamdani, like Sanders, identifies himself as a democratic socialist, and overcame Cuomo’s once-healthy lead despite Cuomo’s overwhelming support among the party’s senior figures... It’s difficult to believe a detour into glitz, glamour and left-wing economics is the route to a better and more stable U.S. It certainly didn’t work for Canada, and there’s no sign that a quorum of Americans is open to socialist theorems that have failed again and again elsewhere"

Just sad to watch this unravel."
