I care deeply about the future of our city, and since leaving office, it has been difficult to watch its struggles, especially since the pandemic. In sizing up the field in the race for mayor, there is one candidate whose management experience and government know-how stand above the others: @andrewcuomo.
History holds endless examples of friction between mayors and governors. During my 12 years in City Hall, I served with four New York governors and had differences with all of them, including Cuomo. But I also know his strengths as a leader and manager. Of all the candidates, Andrew has the skills our city needs to lead us forward.
He has decades of experience navigating state and federal governments. He has governed as a pragmatist, focused on solving problems rather than engaging in ideological or partisan warfare. And he has shown that he can get big things done, including the redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport, the opening of the 2nd Avenue Subway, and the creation of Moynihan Station – all long-stalled projects that he jump-started and completed.
The question before New Yorkers is not: Who is the perfect choice? No mayor is perfect. The question is: Who is the best choice? To me, that choice is clear: Andrew Cuomo.
@thogge If you sell a company for effectively zero (acquihire or rolling up defunct tech) it also counts towards that 99% so less impressive than you’d think. Sequoia is a top tier firm but this stat is misleading.
Sincerity is not the love language of X. That said….
You motherfuckers need to get your shit together in 2025. You need to stop being stupid and prioritize sleep. You need to move your lazy ass and exercise daily. You need to overcome your fast food addiction and eat healthy.
Your mental health problems stem from the lack of basic self care. Show yourself some respect and stop doing stupid shit that makes you age faster and feel miserable.
We have a very serious situation on our hands as a species. It is not clear that we will survive the coming years and decades. Many things threaten our existence and we’re fucking around with shit that doesn’t matter.
We are primitive and shortsighted. We need to grow the fuck up and be equal to this moment.
Start by getting your own mind and body in order. Lift weights and get jacked. Sleep well and stabilize your mood. Eat well and feel energized.
We have work to do.
Happy Holidays 🎄
The best way to reduce drug prices in the U.S. is to make it illegal for drug companies to sell the same drugs abroad for lower prices than they sell them for here.
This will force a globally negotiated price that will be lower than the prices that U.S. consumers pay now and higher than what foreigners pay now.
Otherwise we are stuck with a system where American consumers subsidize drug development for the rest of the world.
Ask any pharma company CEO. They will agree that the above approach will have the intended effect.
