The Adventures of NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani

I can see that happening after Hochul wins the 2026 gubernatorial election. For now, she's playing the no raising taxes card. But that will probably change shortly after her reelection. IMO

I suspect the same. The legislature already wants most of this morons plan but Hochul knows she will lose if she agrees. This is why the budget hasn’t passed.

Apparently most people love this idiot. 48% approve of him.

I would attribute those numbers more to the demographics of the city than to his actual "approval rating". I would wager the majority of the population identifies as "oppressed" and are members of the FSA.....of course they are going to approve of him. I wonder how long it is going to take them to figure out he is full of shit.

To me he’s like Obama. A good orator that is or seems likable to most people. He smiles and presents himself well. People are easily fooled. Look at the excitement over him taking a walk this week??

What percentage of NYC denizens pay net taxes ?

The startling thing about 48% is that even some of the people who *don't* pay taxes don't like him.

Must be his voters didn`t get that memo when he was campaigning
The profiteers are going to be pissed when they find out they won`t make any money from the event this year. Oh well, you get what you voted for, fucking morons.

My understanding is he wants to charge for the event. Sell tickets, sell permits to vendors, etc…

Taxes…
