Hi @ZohranKMamdani, I did some math for you.

Grocery runs on 1-3% margins. You’re promising 30% off. That gap doesn’t vanish, taxpayers cover it.

Per store: $5.4M/year in sales, but a 30% discount means giving up $1.6M in revenue, a $1.5M annual loss, per store.

Across 5 stores: $7.5-8M/year in ongoing losses, plus the $70M already approved to build them, plus zero rent and zero property tax.

Total cost to taxpayers, year one: about $78 million and then a permanent tax year after that, forever. And that’s assuming government does everything perfectly and tell me the last time that happened in the history of humanity.

And then you compete with private bodegas, small businesses paying full rent and taxes, run on the same razor-thin margins.

Subsidized city stores selling 30% below market could push 10-20 bodegas citywide toward closing.

This isn’t affordability. It’s a tax hike disguised as a discount and a private business killer affecting mostly hard working Hispanic  immigrants just trying to do the right thing and make a living.

Shameful!

Fun fact: Ilhan Omar’s net worth went from $30,000,000 to $95,000 after the Learing Centers were exposed. That is a 99.68% decrease, she blames it on an “accounting” error.

Ilhan and her accountant are certified LEARERS, I hope the book helps 🙏🏼

Mamdani announces city-run groceries will set prices *30%* below retail.

Typical grocery margins are 2%.
Meaning:

First, the city will lose ungodly amounts of money -- at least 28 cents on the dollar.

Second, below-cost stores will steal enough market share that real groceries abandon the city.

Third, taxpayers will get tired of the money hole and slash subsidies.

At which point city groceries become money holes full of rotting food, so New Yorkers will have to take 2 trains and a bus to find a real grocery store.

Socialism will work this time 🙌

Dr. Fauci's own diary, in his own words, shows he knew the lab leak theory was credible from the very first weeks of the pandemic. 10 of 12 scientists on his call believed deliberate insertion was possible. He wrote that the wet market was never the real source. Then he spent the next 2 years telling the American people the opposite and smearing anyone who disagreed as a “conspiracy theorist.” That is the definition of a cover-up.

On Wednesday, under subpoena, Fauci finally has to answer for it.

🚨 A recording of DeepSeek’s founder has been leaked! They finally said the quiet part out loud, and it may cost DeepSeek a $71 billion valuation.

For years Washington accused Chinese labs of smuggling banned Nvidia chips and running on borrowed American silicon. Beijing called it paranoia. Then, on July 22, a recording from a closed-door investor meeting held by DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng leaked and tore across Chinese networks. In it, Liang confirms nearly every suspicion himself.

We know how a founder sounds when he thinks the door is shut. Liang was not selling. He was confessing. DeepSeek, he admitted, holds only about 20,000 Nvidia H-series-equivalent chips, most delivered in just the past month or two. Even if the company burned every yuan of its 50-billion-RMB first round, he said flatly, it "couldn't afford to train" a frontier model. "Even if we stacked one up, we couldn't afford to run it."

Then came the number that should end the "China has caught up" narrative. America's largest models run roughly 80 billion active parameters; China's best sit in the tens of billions, a full order of magnitude behind. By his own account, Chinese labs can only train models "ten times smaller" than their US rivals.

The domestic-chip fairytale fared no better. Huawei boasted on July 17 that its Ascend 950 SuperPod delivers 6.7 times the compute of Nvidia's comparable rack. Liang's private math: four Huawei 950s to match a single Nvidia GB300, and two years behind on process. The 16,000 Huawei cards he has been allocated? Equivalent, he shrugged, to about 4,000 Nvidia B-series chips, "not a big deal."

So where does the real compute come from? Liang says it plainly: "We can buy some non-compliant cards," meaning chips under US export controls. That is not a loophole. That is a smuggling supply chain, and it now has a founder's voice attached to it.

The enforcement trail backs him up. In March, a Supermicro co-founder and a Taiwanese middleman were arrested for reselling restricted chips into China. In June, Taiwanese prosecutors raided a board maker and detained executives over the same trade. Washington has since warned that a chip's location no longer matters: if the user or parent company sits in China, the controls follow it.

That is the trap DeepSeek just walked into. Liang thought he was rallying nervous investors with "positive energy." Instead he handed the US Commerce Department a confession, exposed how wide Beijing's compute gap really runs, and spooked his own backers badly enough to freeze a round that would have valued the company at $71 billion, up 37 percent from June.

DeepSeek has not confirmed the tape's authenticity and will not touch the funding question. It does not need to. The most damaging testimony against China's AI miracle did not come from a US agency or a rival lab. It came from the man Beijing keeps holding up as proof that it is winning.

This is the worst mass doxxing I've ever seen

Just personally searched several high end apartment buildings that include people I personally know's PRIMARY residence (not pied a terre)

Not only were their units listed, but nearly every unit in the entire building was listed

They clearly took an incredibly expansive view of "could be" and just doxxed a huge percentage of all expensive apartments in new york city

Fuck absolutely everyone involved in this, this is incredibly dangerous
