The Mandami effect

[Always in His Presence]

A thread to discuss all the effects of the new Mayor

Parents began planning to take their kids out of NYC schools minutes after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win​

Since the results of Tuesday’s election came in, school placement consultant Christopher Rim told The Post he’s had no less than 23 clients reach out to him. They’re looking to relocate — and they want his help getting their kids into elite private high schools and middle schools in other states.

“Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani’s victory, I got three messages from families looking to move,” said Rim, founder and CEO of Command Education.

New York City’s suburbs have experienced an uptick in housing demand from wealthy residents in recent months, according to local real estate agents, as high earners scared off by Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral primary victory look for plan B within a reasonable distance.​

These don't sound like very dependable people I'd want living in my neighborhood. People who can just pack up and bounce when the going gets tough already aren't a part of the community.

Good riddance, I say. Mamdani is already cleaning up the city and he hasn't even been sworn in yet.

All I can say is that I hope Mandami's policies are successful and lead to a thriving New York City.

This is a weird take.

Mamdani needs the tax revenues from rich people to stay to pay for his proposed policies. I'm not sure why you don't understand that.

...when the going gets tough...

Funny how the going always gets tough under Communism.

Why is that? It’s weird to think New York, the city with the biggest concentration of very wealthy people in the world, is suddenly going to be abandoned by the wealthy because of a modest increase in their cost to live in what is already one of the most expensive cities in the world.
They’re already choosing to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Some will move out. Sure. I don’t think it’ll be nearly enough to dramatically change the makeup of the city. There’s just that many people who want to live there and can afford to.

I understand it just fine.

You.....are not paying close attention to what's happenning are you?

 

[rambot]

It seems strange but also on brand to me, that certain people don't believe that there ARE some rich people who don't mind contributing to their communities. They see folks like Mr Trillion Dollar Pants and see how little he helps anyone and they protect him from adminishment 'because he can do what he wants with his money'.

Rockefeller Plaza
Guggenheim
Carnegie

Of course that was when tax rates were 90% and that kind of behaviour was encouraged by rates like that.

 

[rambot]

I don't personally find this drummed up hysteria to be all that interesting as it will likely speak more about a poster than the precise topic.

Can you guys at least make up your minds and pick if it’s communism or Islamism he’s supposed to be instituting when he gets into office? It’s hard to tell which one you guys are more irrationally scared of happening in a city, I’m pretty sure the right had been railing against for years now well before Mamdani came onto the scene.

It’s amazing the effect a young, Muslim socialist from Africa seems to have on the right.

It was pretty subtle, but that was a sly reference to Obama, wasn't it?

What’s funny is now they actually got a real one.

I can’t wait to hear years from now how much better Mamdani enforced the law in NYC than his eventual Republican successor.

We'll, he's a democratic socialist. A real difference that will be ignored by the GOP.

That's where the Islamist part comes in perfect! Just switch between the two as needed.

I'm sure Sharia law will mentioned soon. It was constantly used against Sadiq Khan when he became mayor of London. Those two guys should get together for a beer* and exchange notes.

* zero alcohol, of course.

To me Mandami aligns with God's will. In the OT, God would let nations rise up to defeat Israel because he wanted to teach them a lesson. So here is Mandami, being used as a thorn in the side of unbridled capitalism and the love of money in the epicenter of the financial world. I will even suggest that trying to limit funding or aid to NYC is going to backfire. Also, if Mandami fails, the blame will go to Trump anyway. The good news is that politicians better start understanding the needs of everyday America, you know like fixing social security, insuring health care at reasonable rates, reducing inflation and balancing the budget.

Maybe driving off the rich is a feature, not a bug. Seems counterintuitive.

If your life revolves around equality, then how does one even explain the rich?

There should be no rich. There can be only one explanation: they cheated. So the rich are the bad guys causing trouble. So why not drive them off?

But you need their money. Economic equality is more important, and so is payback for their crimes.
