    People act as though they do not know what would happen if socialism or collectivism were implemented… when in fact it has been implemented repeatedly throughout history to catastrophic impacts. It’s literally like choosing to live in East Germany vs West Germany. Worse actually, as NYC is full of “low trust society” members who will abuse the system like Somali Muslims in Minnesota. This will end in disaster — the smart people and students of history are fully aware.

    Good news for Texas and Florida though, as the high tax paying producer class will move in droves.


    GOOD DAY

    It will never not be hilarious how the billionaires have convinced low iq Americans that if you raise their taxes a few % theyll suddenly flee lmao. I guarantee you NYC billionaires are sitting at some steakhouse in Manhattan laughing their ass off at you losers.

    MAGA running to defend billionaires while they laugh their ass off

    OMG! $600 boots in 2026 to an inauguration? Someone should do something about it!

    I'll tell you what I did about it:

    I had to go to the feed store for cattle purposes a few days ago, and the sign on the front door said "all boots $50", they were trying to get rid of stuff so they could restock the small clothing section of the store...I said "well, hell" so I tried on a pair that were about a size too large, but I bought a $250 pair of fancy Ariats for $50 (this was my random impulse purchase Birthmas present to myself). I can wear a thick pair of socks as needed.

    These are close to them...haven't taken them out of the box since I tried them on, but look at the heels: I used to be 5'11", I might be 6'1" now!

    Study history instead of calling people names and demagoguing the wealthy. Socialism and collectivism have been tried many times -- with high performing, high trust societies. All failed. Now NYC is going to try it with THEIR population? LMAO -- the results will be catastrophic.


    GOOD DAY

    "Study history" lol you mean like how your dumbass predicted the exact same thing in 2020 huh. I'm sure if you keep screaming the same garbage every year it'll come true at some point in your head

    MAGATs bootlicking billionaires thinking they'd piss on them if they were on fire is hilarious

    Socialists don't have a problem with wealth; socialists have a problem with your wealth.

    Socialism is for the people, not the socialist.

    If those centers had kids you think they would teach them there are only two genders? Iono I think kids are lucky they aren't accepting enrollment. Imagine the Somali cafeteria food breh..

    I don't think we're all asking a lot here out of a purported Rice Institute graduate in Economics, to just simply know the difference between socialism and collectivism, not in theory but in practice.

    That's freshman level stuff at Rice, right?

    LOL. Boots? Really? Well, seeing as she doesn’t have a face full of plastic or Barbie bolt-on boobs, I can see how those yearning for the Mar-a-Lago look might be a little upset. I mean, Noem has had enough work to house every poor person west of the Mississippi, but sure, let’s talk about some boots on Mamdani’s wife. You expect her to wear rags and have cardboard taped to her feet?

    As a reminder, Al Gore still lives in a big house and flies on jets. Jeez.

    People who earn their money don't have any shame in treating themselves.

    It's sad to see how poor America has become that $600 boots are seen as outrageous for a mayor's wife. She's no commie, her parents moved to an elite job market and did great work for two decades in Dubai. They broke their family's poverty cycle. They contributed to the economy big time and they were rewarded nicely. How can an American not appreciate a 'land of opportunity' success story like that?

    I wouldn't be worried about her. She's a down to earth person according to people who know her and she could totally afford to not be down to earth. Plus she's born in Houston how can you guys not have some support for her?

    You are swelled with self-pride which has blinded you to many truths, particularly the truth of your Heavenly Father, who wants you to humble yourself and follow his son.

    Matthew 6:6 Learn it, know it, live it.

    You should focus more on yourself and less on others.
