It's funny how they think getting scraps from states like California and New York that innovate and generate growth is a win for them. That $47 billion number is over 4 years it isn't a pimple on New York's ass.


Bingo.
But you'll never see Amuse post this.

Who is the group within Gen-Z that's pro-socialist and anti-communist?

Who is the group within Gen-Z that's pro-socialist and pro-capitalist?
Joe Biden pardoned his son, Anthony Fauci, Gen Milley, Schiff, and the J6 Unselect Committee. The mods all voted for Kamala. They had no choice after the Biden coup. The people who shot Trump and Charlie Kirk probably vote Democrat too. The people who were obsessed with Russia hoax, vax status of others, J6, and the Epstein list are ignorant fools. Building genocide could have been prevented. Queers for Palestine. Trans rights. No Kings. Hamas not Hummus. Cousin love. Allahu Akbar.

Every prosperous country needs some balance between capitalism and socialism, it just depends on where you draw the line.

Mamdani cutting red tape for small businesses.


" Mayor Zohran Mamdani just did something his critics swore a socialist would never do: cut fines, fees, permits, and red tape for small businesses.

More than 50 reforms will make it easier for restaurants, bodegas, barbershops, retailers, and drivers to operateincluding killing the absurd second permit restaurants need just to serve ice cream.

Less bureaucracy. Lower costs. More time running the business.

That is what competent government looks like."

Most jurisdictions require a special permit to create and sell ice cream products. It is a health issue and is not absurd. This is different than merely selling prepackaged products.

It's doubly absurd, the notion that having ice cream on the menu for a restaurant is an additional health hazard requiring a special permit, why create another layer of bureaucracy when the safety requirements for handling raw/frozen meat for example are already in place and are more stringent than for dairy. Why can't the same board also cover dairy, this requirement is a great example of unnecessary red tape hurting small businesses, taxpayers and consumers alike.

The other absurd aspect here is an alleged conservative chiming in in favor of more red tape on small businesses and restaurants.

More Mamdani Derangement Syndrome. The guy was a kid when 9/11 happened and is the current mayor of the city. Why object to this?



The actual started reasons are a crazy game of telephone, connecting Mamdani to people who didn't actually do 9/11 or any terrorism at all but maybe were kinda sorta connected to someone who did or vaguely expressed support for it some time. Nothing about the man himself or his actions.

Fake news, it turns out, shameless yellow journalism by the NY Post.

Do refute the facts NYPost reported?

Why isn't Mamdani slowing it down? Lowering it? That's what he campaigned on.

If you'd like to talk about Trump, there's 120 threads for that. This is about Mamdani.

PR stunt devoid of facts. A currently estimated cost of $4 Billion to replace 1.5 miles, with ten years of construction estimated to start in 2030. Option B was a $10 Billion tunnel. Costs typically explode.

I think your post is facts devoid of context. Are you trying to say 1.5 miles is inconsequential in NYC? Manhattan is only 2.3 miles wide. Are you trying to say $4 billion is not achievable? New York City's GDP is $1.9 trillion. It's embarrassing that previous mayors couldn't get this going.

Doordash supported Cuomo in the mayoral election to avoid having to pay unpaid wages to DoorDash gig workers. Mamdani's government hit them with a $131M settlement.

Government actually working for its voters for once.
