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 operate—including 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.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
hear me out: you are not an imposter who fooled everyone. you're a competent person who hasn't updated their self-image since the last time they felt small.
BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.
Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."
Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.
The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.
If you're happy that our military wasn't merged with Israel's - thank a democrat. All 50 republicans voted in favor.
Here is a list of the America Last traitors who wanted to merge our military with genocidal maniacs. I'm very disappointed in my own two Utah senators @SenMikeLee and @SenJohnCurtis . Gross.
I hatė when jobs ask you to set “goals.” My only goal is to stay employed, pay my bills, and find fulfillment in the parts of my life that have absolutely nothing to do with my job.
The death rituals of the imperial US political class are remarkable: “My colleague and I might have disagreed from time to time about which people to exterminate, but in the end we are all Americans who agree and care deeply about the need to exterminate someone or other.”
An underdiscussed part of modern capitalism is how low-wage workers are often micromanaged every minute they’re on the clock, while many high-wage jobs come with hours of unstructured computer time where no one really cares what you’re doing as long as the work gets done.
Hello @GrabMY , plz ban the usage of AI food photos.
Like if the shop only lazy take photo we don't mind, but they also lazy to match the portion.
It's very hard to give small vendors a chance when they do this y'know.
The Communist Party of China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty. Meanwhile, in capitalist USA, billionaires are becoming trillionaires while 70% of Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and groceries.
As Jimmy Carter noted, gay people were around in the time of Jesus, if he had an issue, he would have said something about it, and he did not say a single word. What he does say a lot about, is the abuse of the Rich and powerful. Unsurprising that fake Christians ignore this
Hi @anthonyloke, please ask @askrapidkl@myrapidkl to stop deliberately closing the shutters EARLY at the KJ-LRT3 interchange at Glenmarie 2 Station before the last LRT3 trains have even passed!
Betul ke BN lagi baik drpd PH? Biar betul? 🤨
Kalau tegar BN undi BN balik, tu normal.
Yg ABNORMAL ni bila bekas pengundi PH patah balik undi BN.
Kenapa??
Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Betul ke dorg dah ok? Tang mana yg makin baik tu? 🤷🏽♂️
Aku faham ramai kecewa dgn PH/PMX. Faham kalau malas undi,
nak undi rosak,
nak pilih 3rd party,
Even boleh faham yang nak pangkah PAS/PN.
Tapi yg aku betul2 TAK FAHAM:
Dulu undi PH sbb BN korup, skrg nak patah balik ke BN padahal BN x berubah langsung.
Why?
