Because it was their job
People get paid to lie like this, & it isn't an enormous amount of money
Money could solve this problem
If only we had a guy with money
I think this is an accurate description of what their policy proposals will lead to but an incorrect assessment of their motives. The Mamdani people are *not* smart and well informed and really do believe the nonsense they peddle. They can’t do math.
Most of my friend circle has children ranging from late high school to recent college grad.
All I hear are HORROR stories about the jobs market. Can’t get a call back. Can’t get an interview. The political elite in this country better be VERY careful with their language. Very.

"Jonathan Banks did an OK job playing a world-weary cartel goon, that's probably good enough, remember these people are fucking retarded"
Hamilton’s military record was charging with bayonets affixed at the head of a light infantry battalion, charging a quarter mile under artillery fire.
Jefferson’s military record was being so incompetent and cowardly that Virginia opened formal inquiry into his conduct.
It's terribly grim that wife-material women are the hardest hit by our broken social norms. Highly agreeable women who genuinely love men and seek their attention and approval are the most likely to fritter away their 20s in serial monogamy and hook-ups.
I was unprepared for how cool it would be to see George Washington 360 no-scope like 4 people with a pistol, and withdraw all my previous criticism of Young Washington
The "civic nation" is 100% over
You may not like the alternatives but it's dead, it's no longer on the table, so we're going to have to figure out what we want to build instead
It's well known that there was a large-scale population collapse in the New World from Old World diseases post Columbus. But rather mysteriously, before the 16th century collpase in North America there was almost as large population collapse after 1150 AD.
