      Didn't Zohran sit out the 24 election? Didn't he just cut a billion dollars from education and housing? That's a no from me.

      New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will cut school and homeless programs to balance budget

      Less than a year after his election, Mamdani is moving to implement austerity to meet the legal requirements of a budget “balanced” on behalf of the bond markets and the financial aristocracy.

      @HakeemG @BruceMirken @QasimRashid Completely false. $4 billion in capital for affordable housing, $500 million for NYCHA renovations. His final $124.7B budget increases overall education and homeless services spending via new taxes and $8B state aid. The $12 billion deficit is gone.

      Getting it done instead of talking a lot which some 'Democrats' like Hakeem Jeffries do. I think even holds the record lol.

        Considering how the profits that corporations make are subsidized by the governments who pay the difference between minimum wage and a living wage, they've been looting the governments' (and thus the people's) coffers a very, very long time.

        Taxing the rich isn't turning that equitable, it's just reducing how much they're allowed to continue to steal. By some minor amount.

        Neoliberal capitalism has turned the economical motions in current society into a monstrosity. The current winner takes all mentality is simply not just and not sustainable. A few of the ultrarich are sucking up wealths that could be used to feed, educate and cure the masses indefinitely, and they are by not giving back refusing to take action, This is unsustainable, unethical and immoral and yes it is criminal.

              Nice spin, yes he is increasing education spending, but by less than planned and he is delaying mandated state reductions in class sizes.

              “It’s a classic example of a political promise made and a promise broken and really a betrayal of the homeless and unhoused community in New York who took him at his word,” said Christine Quinn, president and CEO of WIN, the city’s largest shelter provider.

              Mamdani pledged affordable New York housing in his campaign. How is that going?

              Mayor’s decision to appeal court order that the city must expand its housing voucher program has angered advocates for the homeless

                  The correct reply to “ taxing billionaires is equal to hate speech” is to double the tax every time they open their mouths. We can do this all day until we get to a 90 or 95% marginal tax rate for people like him.

                      Fundamentally wealth must be taxed much more than work. I would like to suggest work should not be taxed at all.

                      And I didn’t say when the 95% marginal rate started either, did I?

                                    Are the Guardian and Gothamist trolls too, because they said the same thing. Are you suggesting Mamdani didn't cut housing and education funding?

                                    Mamdani pledged affordable New York housing in his campaign. How is that going?

                                    Mayor’s decision to appeal court order that the city must expand its housing voucher program has angered advocates for the homeless

                                      Didn't Zohran sit out the 24 election? Didn't he just cut a billion dollars from education and housing? That's a no from me.

                                      New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will cut school and homeless programs to balance budget

                                      Less than a year after his election, Mamdani is moving to implement austerity to meet the legal requirements of a budget “balanced” on behalf of the bond markets and the financial aristocracy.

                                        Time to keep doubling that tax rate

                                          Rage bait? When you tell the truth about Mamdani's education and housing cuts.
