@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

City-owned grocery stores already exist in the USA and Zohran's other proposed policies are currently in place in some of the most prosperous countries in the world.
