A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway.
The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon.
Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon, At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it.
Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon. The teacher said to the students, "These balloons arelike happiness.
We will never find it if everyone is
looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."
May your day be filled with happiness!🎉
As you continue your #Rentgate distraction tour, today I am calling on you, @ZohranKMamdani to release the lease.
“I worked until January, and then I took time away from my job, and one of the major reasons I could do so was because I knew that if I ran out of savings, my family would be able to support me.”
Our housing plan will create 500K new affordable housing units to drive down costs for everyone and preserve rent stabilized apartments for those who actually need them - instead of privileged children of millionaires gaming the system.
From your own comments about family support, it is nearly certain that your parents guaranteed your obviously rent-stabilized lease. Why are you hiding it?
The people of New York City have a right to know, and a dream for affordable housing that helps the working class. Release the lease.
Like Zohran Mamdani, Councilman Powers also lives in a rent-stabilized apartment (Stuy town). They each earn DOUBLE the median income of NYC households.
Funny, I thought you only liked living rent-free when someone else is paying for it.
50+ million views later, as @ZohranKMamdani Rentgate continues, many questions remain: why did you tell the NYT and Vital City that you were moving out but never do it? Did your wealthy parents guarantee the apartment? How did you find this apartment- through a special political connection? How could you claim you didn’t know it was rent-stabilized? You were a tenant counselor at the time and the lease must’ve said it.
So many questions, 0 answers and a sad distraction tour.
Zohran’s Law will apply prospectively to new tenants (current tenants are not impacted). Fixing this broken system for the future ensures hardworking New Yorkers get the housing they need to stay in the city.
Let’s make sure our affordable housing is occupied by the people who actually need it, not the wealthy and privileged.
Cuomo’s attack on Mamdani’s bargain rent of $2300 hit a nerve among Zohran supporters. They can’t justify it.
Mamdani’s $142K salary alone affords him a market rate apartment of $3500.
Yea, he’s squatting on a rent-stabilized unit another NYer needs.

Zohran Mamdani is not a serious person.
He has essentially never had a job, despite his elite education from multiple private schools.
How this man became the frontrunner for NYC Mayor is beyond comprehension.
Mamdani’s policies were written by 28/34 yo DSAs. Few in his inner circle ever worked in government. And the person he charged to hire his city hall team is a California native.
This is who we’re getting to run the top financial capital in the world and the largest school system in the country in charge of ~300,000 employees and $112B budget.
We should be very afraid.

In Feb. 2021, @rweingarten was allowed to rewrite CDC policy on school reopenings to make sure they stayed closed. In summer of ***2021***, @rweingarten tried to keep schools closed for the following school year. It is a monstrous lie that she wanted to open schools.
CDC was going to change idiotic 6 foot rule to only slightly less idiotic 3 foot rule, largely allowing schools in blue areas to reopen. CDC met with Randi, were convinced to keep it at 6 feet. Kids still haven't recovered. You're not going to get to lie about this.
More grim details about yesterday’s stabbing and murder of three innocent people in NYC are emerging.
The individual who went on this stabbing spree had seven prior arrests and was out on the streets BECAUSE Bragg’s @ManhattanDA office did not ask for bail . According to the judge the crimes were not even bail eligible, despite the perpetrator ‘s recent arrests and past history. So he was released and free to kill.
Three innocent lives were lost because of bad laws that people like @bradhoylman@BrianKavanaghNY@LizKrueger refuse to change.
But there is something else not getting enough attention:
City policies have allowed dangerous individuals who should be under some form of supervision to live in low barrier shelters in residential neighborhoods.
Housing these dangerous people in residential neighborhoods are enriching billionaire slumlords.
This perpetrator was living in a nearby low barrier facility owned and operated by a wealthy slumlord real estate investor who is making a boatload of cash every day from housing these individuals.
We must say enough is enough and vote the people who brought us this mayhem OUT of office.
