I somehow thought we should support local mom and pop shops who are being put out of business by large corporations.
But screw those mom and pop shops, according to @NYCMayor’s comrades defending his gov-run grocery stores.

Українська тенісистка Олександра Олійникова розкритикувала появу своїх колег Юлії Стародубцевої та Надії Кіченок на весіллі колишньої росіянки Дар'ї Касаткіної. Українки разом із російськими гостями танцювали та співали під російські пісні
Him: “Don’t you understand!? We couldn’t stay in Peru! The economy was terrible!!”
Martha: “What made it so bad?”
Him: “America, duh!”
Martha: “Oh, so where did you guys go to find a better life?”
Him: 😵💫🥴 “…America.”
Martha: 😒
The DSA's Gustavo Gordillo says no one wants to flip burgers, clean houses, and work extra jobs to make ends meet and raise a family in New York, so the whole governmental and economic system must change to suite the latte-swilling class and their leisure, basically.
These talking points defining the working class as anybody who “works” have been circulating in DSA group chats, where they’ve found fertile ground among the overeducated and underemployed.
Historically, nearly all “workers’” revolutions were started by students and upwardly mobile intellectuals frustrated they weren’t getting their perceived share fast enough.
This time is no different.
Expanding the definition is an old trick. The vanguard concept is educated elites convincing workers they have solutions never before tried, and that both groups are on the same team, harmed by the same upper class.
The Bolsheviks were the template: Lenin was a lawyer, Trotsky a journalist, Bukharin an economist. Factory workers were the audience, not the authors.
The Khmer Rouge leadership drafted their “peasant revolution” as students in Paris cafes, then went home and started a genocide that killed 2 million people.
They also literally cosplay as the working class. The Russian Narodniks of the late 1800s were the most overt example. The Weather Underground gave it an American update: children of affluent professionals from elite universities declaring themselves the vanguard of a working class that wanted nothing to do with them. Today you don’t have to look hard on social media to find their heirs.
"If your mom and pop shop can't compete with the wealthiest municipal government stealing 30% of your own revenue + tax $$ from 8.5 million people to undercut your prices, you shouldn't be in business"
Socialists are truly the dumbest people on earth.
New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo: “Landlords in New York have been making a 12% return on their investment.”
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “How much should they make? What’s fair for the landlord to make?”
Gustavo Gordillo: “We don’t think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment.”
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “What are you talking about?”
These EVIL Communists must be DEFEATED at all costs.
In Ukraine, there is no cult of personality, and no one is untouchable. If you make a bad decision - like Zelenskyy did by firing Fedorov - you will be criticized and protested relentlessly.
Can you imagine this happening in Russia? Neither can I.
President Zelenskyy and Mykhailo Fedorov had a meeting today.
◾️President Zelenskyy:
"I've had a lot of consultations yesterday and today.
Of course, I hear what people are saying. I've had a long conversation with Mykhailo Fedorov today. I've also spoken with Oleksandr Syrskyi today.
Decisions regarding the army will be developed. I thank everyone who cares for Ukraine. I thank everyone who defends our positions on the frontlines.
Those who try to return the war back home, to Russia, back where the war came from. Slava Ukraini!"
◾️Mykhailo Fedorov:
"Changes will definitely come.... I'm thankful to you for the hope.
I haven't felt such responsibility even at governmental positions.
I'm thankful to veterans and the military for holding up the frontlines and the honor.
There is dialogue. I trust everything will work out."
Polish Sejm (parliament) votes by 441, nearly unanimously, to glorify war criminals who murdered 30,000 Ukrainian civilians in 1939-1947.
The Poland has one rule for itself, the imperialist and coloniser, and another rule for the colonised Ukrainians.
"The Sejm of the Republic of Poland pays tribute to the defenders of murdered citizens of the Republic of Poland, especially the soldiers of the Home Army and the Peasant Battalions, as well as members of spontaneously established self-defence organisations."

Syrsky may or may not be a great military commander, but it is no longer relevant. In a war where the nation as a whole is fighting and the army is made up of a million of yesterday’s civilians, the commander cannot be unpopular to the extent of sparking protests across Ukraine— including by veterans and even serving troops.
The Party warning us about Fascism, just had one of their leaders go on live TV and say their goal is to overthrow our democracy and implement total control, starting by abolishing The US Senate...
Absolute fucking retard. Knows absolutely nothing about business.
A government grocery store that can artificially operate indefinitely at a loss - likely a HUGE loss - to charge lower prices completely distorts the market. That doesn’t mean the bodega “shouldn’t have been in that business” or that they are run poorly.
The government is literally cheating to destroy honest business owners.
These DSA squids are the most useless idiots on earth
I’ve engaged in a lot of arguments about rent and rent control and landlords over the years and the main takeaway is that leftists aren’t interested in having an argument, really — it’s just naked contempt. That hate landlords. They hate business owners.
They don’t understand them, identify with them. They don’t see anything from their point of view.
And they have no interest in trying.
The thing that they really want to say is simply, “I hate you and I don’t care about what happens to you. If bad things happened to you, that would be fine.”
It’s pure hatred and contempt and the world makes sense once you accept that.
Perfectly summarizing the current state of affairs in NY:
"Nixon — who isn’t a lawyer but played one on the hit HBO show “Sex and the City” — was just appointed to serve on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson"
