Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami.

The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue.

The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price.

Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over.

Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides.

Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores.

I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality.

People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving.

This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it.

If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

The thing you have to understand about the left is they have no moral or ethic they actually believe in.

Just shit they say to win.

Maine Newspapers talking to Graham Platner yesterday

[Siraj Hashmi @SirajAHashmi]

He calls it “mein Wolfenstein.”

[Enguerrand VII de Coucy @ingelramdecoucy]

“Nobody knew that skull design was a Nazi symbol!” they said about the logo that appears on the Nazi’s hat in one of the best known memes on the internet

I really don’t think this is an improvement

[Prison Mitch @Prisonmitch]

Looks good @grahamformaine! You can barely tell what was there before.

Somehow the tattooist did a worse job covering this up than the journalists have

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

I'm dying...

The new Graham Platner ad is 🔥🔥🔥

[Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho]

“I think Elon Musk is an idiot”

“Why because he invented SpaceX & Tesla?”

“People are waking up - they’ve been lied to the entire time”

“You’re terrified because he’s allowed speech you can’t control”

Incredible exchange - you can literally watch the Liberal Left malfunction in real time as they realise they’ve lost control of the narrative.

Canada had a good run…

[Patricia 🇺🇸 @1109Patricia]

Canada’s gun buy-back is a disaster.
Canada is starting a buy-back gun confiscate law with a one year window allowing for Canadians to turn in their guns and get reimbursed for the cost. After the one year grace period ends the law would go into effect banning gun ownership.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Every seat in this giant arena that isn’t roped off for security is packed to the ceiling. Honored to be here.

All for Charlie Kirk.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

Call me crazy but I thought the major violation of free speech last week was when the free speech guy got shot in the neck for promoting free speech.

Evidently, it was the vaccine salesman with terrible ratings getting fired.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

🤔

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

To all the journalists contacting me, all the sudden free speech converts:

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Kimmel getting fired: This renders the First Amendment meaningless.

Chris Hayes on Tucker getting fired: He believed he could say anything no matter how disgusting and get away with it. Over time, that’s not going to work out well for you.
