@brianarmstrong this is a bad take. I would love to know specifically what about the policies proposed by Mamdani would inhibit "economic freedom" in a way that would harm the poorest people in society.

Are 5 publicly owned grocery stores going to prevent someone from going to a private grocery store? No

Are free buses going to stop someone from taking a cab, riding a bike or driving their own car? No

And so on and so forth...

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic

Well said. Socialism ultimately harms the poorest people in society the most (while being marketed as a way to protect them). Economic freedom is required for all societal progress. Every generation has to learn this lesson, sometimes the hard way, as it is a counter-intuitive

By the way, Brian, China has a lower percentage of society living in extreme poverty than the USA does.

This is just rich dudes wanting to tear down all regulations so they can be richer.... and using big words to confuse people into voting against their own interests.
