    This is where your surface-level thinking really shows. Likely the result of emotions getting the better of you, which is no surprise given your stated background. It’s a classic error.

    My point was that people move out of NYC regularly. I was not speaking to population growth, as the missing and necessary piece to do that math is the # of people moving in to NYC. You rashly conclude that an error has been made, when in fact it is your hasty reading and shallow thinking that made the error. Once you learn to think critically before speaking, and let your emotions subside before deciding what to say, then you will begin to achieve things in life.

    GOOD DAY

    This is hilarious and I am rooting for the Jihadi so people born after 2000 can see how it all works.

    For all the talk about communism and radical progressivism taking over, Madani will win because of one thing and one thing only - the new immigrant vote. The rich kids who love socialism are super vocal in the community and on social media, but they are a small percentage of people voting for him. Promise the new immigrants who have no interest in assimilating free everything that you do not have the means or ability to carry out, and you'll get the voters to come out.

    67% of people who voted for him in the primary were foreign born
    -- NYCITY has 2 million NATURALIZED citizens like Madani and his terrorist loving father, and 3.5 million immigrants. This is road to power for communists and why democrats have always wanted to import illegals en masse (and then subsidize them). It never had anything to do with good will - it's a replacement strategy to gain power.

    If you read my post above, you'll see this isn't something to brag about. It's precisely why Madani won the primary - the foreign born, naturalized citizen vote. The whole leftist strategy is to replace native populations, driving them out with insane policies, and eventually taking over the means of production. He has said it in interviews openly - his end game is to take over the means of production.

    This is so hilarious coming from garbage individuals like you because no president has ever taken more equity stakes in private corporations than Trump has but you morons still spew socialism fear mongering talking points. The only socialist individual in power is your cult leader. Dumbass racists like you make me laugh.

    Your strategy of calling everyone a racist stopped working a long time ago. Took a while, but Americans can see through you.

    These are literal words he said. As Paladino has said, he doesn't hold a single identifiable American value and is using naturalized citizens and affordability as a cover.



    Zohran Mamdani’s ‘chilling’ call for ‘seizing the means of production’ draws outrage from communist refugees

    Hey dumbass. Your cult hero right now is taking equity stakes in private corporations injecting himself in the free markets. You morons worship the biggest socialist POTUS in modern history. Nobody gives a crap about your braindead fear mongering

    Guess what? Naturalized citizens are every inch as much a citizen as the rest of us and their votes are just as legitimate. If they find him appealing, that's great. I don't like the implication that he's somehow pulling a fast one by courting a certain demographic of American citizens with legitimate rights to vote.

    They left a long time ago, supposedly for $24 worth of beads.

    In society, to take care of the lower-and-middle classes, you absolutely MUST take care of the "producer class", which often tends to be the wealthy members. While this may go against the basic instincts of many people, and strike some as being unfair, these are the people that shape society. They create jobs, they invest capital in start up projects, they develop real estate projects, they invest in schools and the arts, they pay huge sums in taxes, and they spend money to stimulate regions... without this producer class, economic opportunity dries up. NYC is looking to PUNISH this producer class, with the election of Mamdani. The producer class is mobile, and if they leave, as predictions suggest, then NYC is going to have a serious problem on its hands. Over time, this could lead to a massive deterioration of conditions in NYC. Crime will spike, poverty will spike, jobs will dry up, funding for the city will diminish.

    Texas and Florida will be the beneficiaries.


    GOOD DAY

    I don’t know why y’all keep responding to this village idiot astro123 aka Baghdad Bob the purveyor of fake news. This loser had spent the last 4 and a half years wasting our bandwidth trying to convince everyone here that Biden is the greatest president that ever lived. Clutch must put a permanent tag on his handle that reads “ warning, this is fake news “.

    That take’s a little too one-sided. Yeah, I get that investors and business owners matter, but acting like the rich are the only ones keeping things running is wild. Real growth comes when regular folks can live decent, work good jobs, and spend money in their own neighborhoods. Look at history... the U.S. boomed when working people had unions, fair wages, and the government was building stuff. California and even countries in Europe still do fine with higher taxes because they invest back into people, schools, and infrastructure.

    Kansas tried cutting taxes for the rich and crashed its own budget. You need balance, not just protecting the top, but making sure the rest of us have a fair shot too. Productivity and innovation also come from workers, small businesses, and collective institutions. Most output in the U.S. comes from people earning under six figures. Economies are networks, not pyramids.

    We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.

    Is this some BS argument in favor of "trickle down" economics? That is the argument for "trickle down economics", yes. But it doesn't really work that way in practice. e.g. Much of the money from those investments ends up in the pockets of other rich people, not workers.

    Should the Rockets pay all their players the same amount of money? Or should they take care of Durant, Amen, Sengun?

    If the good players leave, then the entire organization will suffer. The same is true for society — if the producers leave, then all classes will suffer.

    GOOD DAY
