Everyone’s yelling “communism” about Mamdani’s housing plan. They’re missing the actual trick.

His own plan says the city will “engage lenders to trigger foreclosure” on landlords.
I’ve done real estate 20 years. Here’s what that means: they let the building go distressed, force the bank to eat the loan, then hand it off with NO mortgage.

A building with no loan is a money printer. And they pick who holds it.

That’s not a housing plan. It’s a wealth transfer with a loyalty program attached.
New York’s the test kitchen. California’s next.

Follow me — I’ll show you the part nobody else is reading. 🔨

Your definition of “high skill” is too narrow.

Football is a strength & power sport.
Those traits are the engine behind the skill — which is why the Eagles can make this pick — will it work, 🤷🏾‍♂️

Basketball isn’t built the same way — which is why an elite HS player can jump to the NBA.

That jump does not exist in football.
Not because of skill — but because the physical engine isn’t developed yet.

High skill doesn’t operate in a vacuum.
It’s supported by the traits the sport demands.

That’s why elite sprinters can transition to bobsleigh — different sports, same engine — both highly skilled.

Elite football players are highly skilled.
So are elite basketball players.

But the foundation of that skill is not the same — both high skill — just different motors.

Maher: “The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.”

Schiff: “Totally vague.”

Elon Musk just weaponized gravity.

The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions.

Musk just sealed it.

Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery.

That is a complete misread of the physics.

Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.”

For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain.

A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy.

And what does it do with that energy?

It throws it away as heat.

Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.”

Diesel burns twice.

Fuel going up. Hardware coming down.

A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived.

The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent.

It harvests it.

Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.”

Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery.

The mountain stops being an obstacle.

It becomes a power plant.

Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing.

Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible.

Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down.

Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons.

They are solving the wrong equation.

You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.

The rich can leave if you tax them. The poor don’t have that luxury.

So to pay for your social programs, you tax the poor.

Many are stuck watching the worst basketball of all time at All-Star Weekend and Michael Jordan is at the Daytona 500 winning Championships.

AOC is a Third-Worldist who can’t articulate a sentence on Taiwan because her de facto foreign policy position is to be anti-America.

“What America should do” is a question that collides with her conviction that America lacks legitimacy to begin with.
