There is a max salary in the NBA and a salary cap, which allows other teams to be competitive, otherwise, you end up like European soccer where a few teams with money always win, while consistently shutting the door on poorer teams from being consistently competitive. If some producers leave, it will open up a opportunity for a smart investor to replace them, because there is money to be had.
The fact that Cuomo got 42 percent is insane. Mamdani has some terrible ideas that will luckily never see the light of day, but I think he has integrity whereas Cuomo is a piece of human ****.
Mamdani getting elected is the best possible outcome for Republicans in red states. I feel sorry for the Republicans in NYC -- they are screwed as the city will descend into chaos as crime is no longer punished and housing won't be built since developers cannot earn a return with rents held artificially low. Grocery stores will have barren shelves and at some point there will be unrest. This will be a very unsafe time for New Yorkers. I encourage all smart, hard-working, honest, wealthy, and clean (shower minimum 1x a day and use deodorant) New Yorkers to move to the free state Texas. Especially those in the financial services industry. This is Texas' golden opportunity -- in the Golden Era -- to take New York's crown jewel of its economy. Wall Street moves to Ya'll Street. GOOD DAY
Pulling a fast one is a nice way to put it - he's implicitly promising people without a history in this country handouts that he has no intention of pulling through. The governor has said she would not raise taxes on the wealthiest even more (they already pay more than 50%), because they have the ability to leave (or just declare primary residence in Florida). The liberal writers of SNL have openly admitted he isn't going to be able to carry out any of his freebies except the free bus and a few subsidized grocery stores. “I’m concerned about outmigration of people who are the ones who are supporting our budget,” Hochul said on the “Raging Moderates” podcast Tuesday about the top 1.5% of earners fleeing if she raised their taxes like Mamdani wants. “I cannot make up for that with middle class tax increases. I cannot do that to the middle class and the struggling New Yorkers. So, this is the balance…” she said, before catching herself. His approach to housing is a $100 billion fix, not $2 billion. NY has 50,000 buildings that are vacant because the landlords can't afford to renovate them with rent control (they will operate at a massive loss). The only thing that brings down rent is increasing supply, not constraining it. His solution is to take over private land and create mass Marcy projects everywhere subsidized by the government. It is depressing in every aspect. Now that the results were in, he basically got the entire naturalized citizen vote and 75% of the under 30 vote -- 2 groups without a care or history of understanding how policies can be enacted. They just know they want free stuff and everything will be fine. It's dishonest Marxism 101 and he's offering false hope to naturalized citizens and under 30's. Similar to what Biden did to illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.
NYC and New York itself should lower the federal taxes it sends out to red states with states like Alabama Mississippi West Virginia Lousiana Kansas etc that would def help with the cost of living! Barren shelves... lol you clown.
The best thing that could happen to us MAGA is when this Indian communist got elected to mayor. The voters will flee in droves to the Republican Party because they can see the devastating effects of having commies in our government. The bad thing is my Florida will be swamped by these damn refugees from NY City.
Many of them don’t. NYC is also the wealthiest city in the USA. There are more millionaires and billionaires than any other city in the USA… they aren’t going anywhere… and if they did, 9 of the 10 wealthiest cities in the USA are ran by Democrats. So it’s funny to talk about but it really doesn’t mean much.
Cuomo dominated the born in America vote as well as the over 30 vote. Madani lied about his race on applications to get AA quotas, and lied to the 2 above groups about policies he doesn't have the ability to carry out. His road to power was selling false hope, like Majorkas telling illegals and asylum seekers to come to America en masse and it will all work out. Is Cuomo a sleaze? Yeah, but most politicians are. He at least proposes feasible policies he is sincere about. Your definition of integrity is misguided.
Cuomo was very effective and popular in NYC… you figure he gets all the Trump/Republican support off the bat… that’s 33%. Then he gets some support for Israel and some moderate Dems.
All cities are run by democrats because all cities have inner cities. That's nothing new. You're already seeing large groups of income generating NYers moving to Florida, or claiming primary residence there. Not everyone is a billionaire or too big to fail JP Morgan, the majority wealthy are in the 1 mil to 20 mil a year. And when well over 54% of it goes, you will reevaluate. If you're not prosecuting repeat criminals, businesses leave (as we saw in SF, they then ousted their progressive prosecutor to bring some back) or move to the suburbs. Employees with something to lose don't want to work there. Recent migration trends confirm the damage. More than 125,000 New Yorkers have fled to Florida in just the past few years, carrying nearly $14 billion worth of income with them, according to the Citizens Budget Commission. About a third of those movers — more than 41,000 people — went to Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward Counties between 2018 and 2022. Those escapes alone stripped New York City of an estimated $10 billion in adjusted gross income.
Been to Miami lately and spoken to all the very wealthy Chicago and NYC transplants? I certainly have. Trump is a prime example, moving from NYC to Mar-a-Lago... of course now he resides in the White House, thank God. GOOD DAY
-tax revenue in NYC is up nearly 40% vs 2019. There's no evidence there was any meaningful migration out of NYC - more Billionaires in NYC today than any time in history - more corporations are located in SF in 2024 vs 2019 Its just funny that the only thing you low iq cultists have is fear mongering and lies. I guess it works with your fellow brainwashed cultists but nobody else is as dumb as yall Yeah somehow all the wealthy folks left NYC yet tax revenue is up by 40%. # of billionaires that live in NYC has gone up from 84 in 2019 to 110 in 2024. Again its just funny that you cultists do nothing other than lie. Lowest iq cult in modern history
So on one hand the ADL says this: But on the other hand, Mamdani gets big money from jewish donors: https://i.postimg.cc/Wb872xnX/Mamdani-Jew.jpg
Yeah, that's because the stock market is up, in large part because of inflation and monetary stimulus, but now because of Trump's pro growth policies. So obviously when the largest industry in NYC is financial services, then you'll see more billionaires created... But the migration of wealthy people out of NYC is a proven fact... perhaps you can look into Palm Beach, FL real estate and report back to me. Thanks in advance, amigo. This will accelerate now that an avowed communist will be the mayor. The wealthy, Jews, and unfortunately women (given his religious views), are no longer safe in NYC. GOOD DAY
