it’s so funny that these people genuinely believe they have some esoteric knowledge that nobody else has a grasp on. This is just all boilerplate leftist/groyper slop. Everyone under 40 is familiar with all of this lmao.
The funniest thing about this is that Mamdani is bragging about taxing small businesses that have like 50 to 60 employees and run thin margins. Amazon does not pay a dime of this.
Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
Jared Diamond was the first person to attempt to give a comprehensive multi disciplinary explanation for how the west became dominant that wasn't just aryan mysticism. He got things wrong and people have done better since but he undoubtedly elevated our historical understanding
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
We’re in the “late stage capitalism” phase of dating game theory
Famous athletes used to go and sleep with random groupie women no questions asked bc of the status differential
But average women now realize that if a high-status guy ever hits on them, their best move is to make a huge deal about how “famous men want to have sex with me!!” and post it all over the internet for attention
Guys see this and make a mental note that interacting with women appears to be reputationally hazardous. They do it less
Women see that and write articles about “where have all the good men gone,” “why doesn’t approach me anymore”, “are you all GAY??”
All of this can be fixed very easily by just policing these antisocial behaviors that pollute the commons
