NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.

Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

Hochul hopes to raise $500 million annually that would be used to address the city’s deficit.

George Costanza offers conflicting views of the uncircumcised penis. In one episode he says to Elaine “you wouldn’t even know what it was,” while in another he tells Jerry his college roommate was uncircumcised and he “got used to it.” Thank you.
