Elections NYC mayoral race

[Limbo Pete]

Business shouldn't be getting federal funds other then contract work. To get a contract they do and should have to meet the federal requirements.

The new mayor will drive most of the Business out with his policies.

But you were just speculating about how much federal funding could be cut. You said they get a billion dollars, and you were wondering how much of that could be eliminated. I mean it's transparently antagonistic.

 

[Barney Gumble]

But why would you want to use federal funding access to deliberately hurt American businesses lol
Oh wait

if a whackjob enters a room to do damage, you contain him as much as possible, not give him the keys to the castle. when NY inevitably suffers damage, don't blame trump for containing the whackjob, this is all on the voters.

Looked it up, he’s blaming the aunt issue on a colloquial term for a dead cousin of his LMAO

You think he lying about that? It's pretty normal among some immigrant communities to refer to elders generally as aunties and uncles. A distant cousin who is much older being referred to as auntie is very believable.

Keep in mind I don't even like Mamdani's policies, rent freeze, free bus fares, and public grocers are all things I strongly disagree with. But the attacks on Mamdani have been pretty unhinged and in many cases openly bigoted.

Sure fuck him. We dont need to pay if voters fuck up and vote him in office. If he wants "free shit" then they should have ti pay for it.

If I was good enough at this I would put Mandami's face in place of the dog.

Why don't you like free buses?

They're so cheap here in Montreal they're as good as free, like Hydro Quebec they only charge enough to keep from losing too much money (you wouldn't believe how little we pay for power).

We don't have state grocers but we have deals with subsidized farms that provide amazingly cheap fresh vegetables (15 bucks for 50 pounds).

What America is doing is largely failing. Mamdani wants to try some things and everyone is attacking him. Much of it is conservative ignorance and bigotry, but a lot of it is Democrat. You should have seen Buttigieg dance around endorsing him.

Cant believe you’re serious. But then again, it’s you.

New York City has fucking a gigantic economy lol

 

[Daverisimo]

I'm absolutely loving the collective meltdown of the MAGA swine over Mamdani's inevitable victory. What makes it all the more precious is that most of them (or at least those who live in NYC) actually stand to gain from it, but they've been convinced by billionaire funded propaganda networks that he's gonna throw them all into gulags. Please, continue freaking out. It makes for good entertainment.

We will see how it holds up once he is in charge.

Very common in Native communities as well

But you're saying federal funding should be withdrawn _because_ he was elected lol

 

[Rob Battisti]

“You think he’s lying?”

Considering this dead cousin also didn’t live in NYC and he said he was making a point about “community experience”… yes he’s lying.

I mean he’s lied about so much you think THIS is true??

 

[Rob Battisti]

New York City has fucking a gigantic economy lol

It would be 9th biggest in the world if it were a country.

 

[oldshadow]

Depends on if he is willing to meet the requirements to get them.

 

[Barney Gumble]

stop pretending you didn't get it. mamdani's an arsonist, you don't give him what he needs you handcuff him to limit the damage.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Yeah except this dead cousin never lived in NYC and he said it was really just a story about community experience

 

[Limbo Pete]

I don't even know what you guys are talking about, just saying it's a thing

 

[Limbo Pete]

But you were speculating on how much _could_ be taken away, which again is clearly antagonistic
