“According to Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the bold new strategy of showing idiots with promises of free stuff could be “a total game-changer” for the party.“
The free market always knows better than some anti-capitalist aka communist nitwit who has never had a private sector job. There is not a single thing that this idiot wants that makes any economic sense. How about government owned grocery stores? Putting the government in charge of what you can eat? Good lord
First off all the dude needs to get elected. He is not yet the mayor. If Cuomo runs as an independent that will bite into his votes. Plus November is a long way off politically speaking.
Secondly Wall Street will not go anywhere. I am willing to bet anything.
Wall street won’t go. But can you imagine government owned grocery stores? You want bureaucrats controlling what you eat? It sounds like the soviet bloc in the 1980’s. It worked so well that people risked being shot to get the hell out of there.
Even if he is elected Those will never happen. The realities of office soon make people realize their lofty ideals will need to be compromised or adjusted.
Or maybe its a rejection of the old guard which Cuomo definitely represents.
Everyone is making these apocalyptic predictions for NY and if he wins sure he will want to make his mark but NY will not become a socialist wasteland.
Cooperative structure: A co-op is a business that is owned and democratically controlled by its members.
Public funding/subsidies: The co-op receives financial assistance from the government or other public entities. This can take the form of grants, loans, tax abatements, or other forms of financial support.
Purpose: Publicly subsidized co-ops are often established in underserved areas or communities to address specific needs, such as access to healthy food in food deserts.
