That just tells me there’s a lot of freeloaders in NYC

That tells me New York has priced itself out of the market for anyone but the wealthy or upper mid class.

I get why they would lean toward socialist policies, but they don't think through the equation. Government policy of back door agreements, promising more and more programs and funding more and more waste with little accountability. You are looking to one of the biggest enablers of the problem for the solution. It's like hiring the fox to watch over the chicken coop, which was always part of the problem in New York. Only now you've endorsed your government to takeover the means of production and distribution by mandate of the election.

Maybe it will all work out and be successful, I don't know. But the places where socialist policies have been most successful never had the issues of it looked like New York. We'll see.

If you tell me that many people make <40k, I can’t agree that they’ve been priced out by any third party. Rather their lethargy has priced them out.

You understand that the problem isn't Muslims, it's that the UK doesn't protect freedom like we do. Living in a free country comes at a price, and one of those is, dear God, can we face it?....you might have a Muslim neighbor. Or a Muslim mayor. Or a Muslim representative in congress. How will the US ever survive religious diversity?

Edit: interesting question...are the elected officials in DC today more or less religiously diverse than the founders?

Terrorist attacks are just “part and parcel” of having to deal with terrorists.

Another reason that age shouldn't be a requirement to vote.
-Tax Return
-Military
-Passing a standard civics test
1 at minimum should be required. We have fools voting for people based on what they see on Facebook and twitter without any knowledge of what they intend to do once they are voted in.

An idiot can see a speech saying they will get free buses and cheaper food and think that's a good enough reason to vote someone in... Just like people that voted for trump thinking 1/2 of his promises would actually occur.

Straight Ticket Voting, No Voter ID, and Age Restrictions on Voting should be wiped away. If a 15/16 year old is paying taxes, they should have a vote. There's millions of unemployed leeches voting, so should the ones working that aren't 18.

Someone on Welfare or Any assistance shouldn't have a say in government. Our policies shouldn't be based on dependents.

Mamdani’s Agenda to be Embraced by Increasingly Woke City Council as Progressive Members Surge​


Get ready for a leftist lovefest between NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the City Council.

Unlike outgoing Mayor Adams — a centrist Dem who immediately clashed with the Council upon arriving at City Hall in 2022 — the radical socialist should find a much more receptive audience when he takes office in January.

Democrats will hold 46 of the Council’s 51 seats, including nine new members — all Dems.

The far-left Progressive Caucus is expected to get four new members, bringing its total to a powerful 21, sources told The Post.

That’s just five short of the majority needed to guarantee any Mamdani-backed bill passes.

Other Dems in most cases would likely step up to deliver remaining votes to cross the finish line, several pols and operatives said.

That's the thing about New York City though. Many are either service based, which don't pay a lot of money, or corporate which do. I think there is a lot of lethargy at play but it's magnified by the inflated prices there as well.

You'd be surprised how many people out there make under 40k a year all over the country....... Who work hard! They get by I've only because they live in areas of the country where it is much cheaper to function on a daily basis.

And to make sure my statement was factual I looked it up. Just under 50% of people country wide bring home less than 40k a year. Half the country!
