Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’

More than a decade ago, Tallinn, the Estonian capital, became the largest city in the world to introduce fare-free public transport. Financed by the city’s resident tax, the scheme faced heavy opposition before its rollout, with some describing it as a political stunt that the city couldn’t afford.

Nearly a year later, researchers found that public transport use had increased by 14% and that the mobility of low-income residents had improved. Similar schemes have since sprung up across the continent, in France’s Montpellier and Dunkirk, for example, and expanded across countries in the case of Luxembourg and Malta.

We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return. The debate here isn’t whether to have these programs, but how to improve them.”

OG in many ways. If we are in the same city, find me, probably organizing a dinner. 
We all have a soundtrack and share common tracks.

It’s wild how what’s “radical” in the US is just common sense elsewhere.

Ridiculous...
Money is the true religion in the US, that's how I explain many USisms  to Europeans.
