NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Thread

says it would of been $25.52 in 2024.

Yet there still people here saying it has to be $7.25, cuz raising it would put businesses out of business. But the real reason is they're underpaid, but its an easier fight and it makes them feel better to say others dont deserve a higher wage...
There is merit to small businesses not being able to afford certain wages (tho im sure most can figure out gradual increases), but the shit can't stay at 7.25 for 15 years straight while everything else is skyrocketing.
 

According to the article

This is before anyone even knew who Mamdani was
 
Two years ago, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani sponsored a bill that would strip away the tax-exempt status of local charities with ties to Israeli settler groups that forcibly occupy the Palestinian West Bank.

When the effort went nowhere, he pushed a revised version of the bill, known as the “Not On Our Dime” Act, the following year. It failed as well.

Now, with Mr. Mamdani considered the front-runner in the New York City mayoral race, he may soon be in a position to use his power to hold Israel accountable for its treatment of Palestinians. He has called its actions in Gaza a genocide.

His views of Israel could influence the people he appoints to boards running city entities; how he oversees the Police Department’s response to anti-Israel protests; and whether he calls for the city to boycott companies that have interests in the country.
His campaign aides say Mr. Mamdani should not be held as a mayor to the positions he espoused as a legislator.

But Mr. Mamdani has already said he would order the New York Police Department to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, if he visits, despite legal experts saying it could be a practical impossibility, and that it might violate federal law.
 
Hes really seems never prepared for anything. He's like the stereotypical boomer that always gets these high paying jokes & you assume knows what they're doing. But when pay attention or talk to them, they dont know shit and you wonder how they got this job.

When Americans fly in from across our land to JFK & LaGuardia and hear over the loudspeaker, "I am Mayor @ZohranKMamdani, welcome to NYC," they will look to their children filled with pride and say, "In NY any dream is still possible!"

[Quoted tweet]
Arriving visitors will "hear in the airports over the loudspeaker, ‘I am your mayor, Zohran Mamdani, welcome to New York City,’ they will look at their children filled with pride,” @RoKhanna said.

“They will say, ‘In New York any dream is still possible."

Removing establishment politicians from office has become the new American dream. Establishment politicians have failed Americans and we are finally demanding change. Mamdani is unlikely to be the answer but he is change from what New York has experienced.

Today, as voters in NYC cast ballots, the GOP favorite promised to take his ball and move to Florida.

The “American Spirit?” or just pale skin tones and a love for Israel.

"Filled with pride"? They will be filled with terror. When they hear Mamdani's name, they'll clutch their wallets and tell their kids to stay away from the subway. His "dream" is the socialist nightmare that emptied Rikers and destroyed the city. Khanna is celebrating the final collapse of New York.

Really? Mamdani led the "Leave it Blank" movement against Biden & Harris, which helped Trump win the election. Why he is bad for the poor, the Democratic party, and even democracy, in my new commentary below. https://www.sonomaindependent.org/why-mamdani-will-hurt-democrats-and-the-poor/

If Mamdani becomes mayor, NYC will return to a pre Disnefied Times Square state, and no one will be flying into it.

No, they will hear "Thank God I'm only switching planes in New York City -- I did't come here to experience communism and crime. Florida, here we come!"

What an utterly fanciful and shameful worldview you have to think socialism is the answer.

A foreign-born Muslim Marxist is about to tax the living crap out of white people and release the criminals while defunding the police ushering in a crime wave like nobody’s ever seen.

Get out of NYC.

Yes. You can reach great heights with no work experience, no management, a terribale record of voting and tired and discredited policies...

People will avoid NYC like the plague if Mamdani becomes Mayor. Communists fail at everything.

What they will be hearing is the Islamic call to prayer and one will wonder what happened to secular America.

I so hope so.

What a huge ass difference from the last video, our current administration was playing at airports. I pray to please go back to the days of welcoming fellow human means instead of murdering them without due process I can’t wrap my head around that one.
