New York poised for first South Asian - origin and Muslim mayor as Cuomo concedes to Mamdani

[nahtanbob]

Ask google:

“finance, healthcare, professional services, retail trade, and manufacturing. NYC is a major hub for professional, scientific, and technical services, including legal, accounting, engineering, scientific research, and management consulting.“

Btw, being a place where innovation and fostering talent is what the city is aiming for, similar to California. This is why tech, especially in fields mentioned above, is important for New York’s growth, and why a vibrant city is valuable. Attract talent and hold on to them.

Btw, many “young” (under 40) people call Manhattan (the city part of New York City); “Work Island”. The jobs are there, and with many staying single and not having kids, living in the other boroughs or possibly just over the river in New Jersey, in a small apartment is the right fit. These neighborhoods are where the money is spreading out to all parts of the city, and hence why middle class live all over the city, while many wealthy follow, to live in vibrant neighborhoods these middle class young people have built up to the living standard the wealthy want.

New York’s future is not in being a race the bottom for the cheapest housing as in the 70s, but a rise as a premium location, with enough space for the middle class and working class people that service the wealthy and the innovators and tourists. A vibrant city allows the city to be diversified and resilient in an economic downturn, because top talent is available to work in new businesses at affordable labor costs.

The question is simple "What does New York do ?" FYI I have posed the same questions in another forum to the enlightened souls who inhabit San Francisco.

Finance, media are the only things in New York City

Bernie is already telling him to tone down his "rhetoric" against Israel...

In the best scenario, he'll follow the career path of AOC. Will be bought off eventually just like her.

I dont think AIPAC has bought off AOC yet. Neither have they been able to buy off or intimidate Bernie.

Mamdani announces he is going back to Uganda to satisfy demands from rightwingers. Clever move LOL.

Zohran Mamdani takes family trip to Uganda

The Democratic mayoral nominee said Sunday he’ll travel to celebrate his wedding in the East African nation where he lived the first five years of his life.

Those aren’t the only things. New York is a collection of many highly skilled persons; the consultant class. Legal services by experts are probably the best description of what New York does best.

It's always easy to spend other people's money. The problem is, once you run out, what then?

NYC already has rent control yet look at the cost of renting. So what problem is he really trying to solve?

Mamdani is just another version of the Pied Piper. Play the song the people want to hear yet nothing is going to change.

As some of you know, I'm a boomer. Grew up in the 60s / 70s. So I was around when LBJ started his "Great War on Poverty".

With as much money that has been spent on attacking poverty, there should be no homeless or hungry people in this country outside of those who chose to be.

So why do we still have homeless and hungry people in this country?

I'd guess majority if not a dominant majority of homelessness is more due to mental health issues and seldom a question economics.
what I cannot understand is why it is more prevalent where Democrats are mayors. May be that's the pool they come from

The Democrats offer freebies. They show up there.

homeless are in at least four categories
1. drug abusers
2. mental health
3. lazy bums
4. unfortunate people with bad breaks in life

I see more and more every day people, not just the chronic homeless, getting bad breaks, sleeping in their cars figuring out their situation.

Some people still sticking with the claim of taxing the rich and making them pay their fair share.

So what exactly is their "fair share"?

The problem with liberals is they don't realize you could tax the rich for everything they've got and there still wouldn't be enough money to pay for all the giveaways they want to implement.

Safety nets in society is not a giveaway

When one man-one salary was enough for a man to marry, buy a home, raise children and live a dignified life then you didn't need extensive welfare to take care of your people

Then GREED came into it, and women started working, and the interests of corporate America were placed above the welfare of the people

Living costs went higher and higher, mass consumerism was pushed, people went into debt and everything became more and more expensive

So now the average salary is not enough to cover a home, a family, daily life

So people are struggling and they are suffering

And when that happens it's up to the state to protect it's citizens and provide a safety net before things get out of hand

America is more unequal today then ever before, the divide between the elite and rich and everyone else is greater then ever

This is NOT SUSTAINABLE

Change needs to come and politics needs to change

No more endless Republican bullshit about bootstraps and making do

One problem is the consumer culture and no savings. So many people live paycheck to paycheck, hence a job loss severely disrupts their lives. I think Americans desperately need lessons in financial literacy and digital literacy.

Cuomo admits/claimed most Jewish New Yorkers that voted in the primary, voted for Zohran!

The simple explanation is young people want opportunities. It doesn’t matter what religion we believe in or are born into, New Yorkers are a pragmatic and hardworking people.

Excellent idea!

Penalize the successful for being? Successful.

Let's kill all incentives to work hard and be successful so that others, including a lot who refuse to try, can have a safety net.

Screw that.

I worked hard for what I've got and the idea of paying even more taxes to sustain those who refuse to try and help themselves is ludicrous at best.

Its funny to see right wing Whities of America freaking out over him as he is not even a mayor yet, but their logic is just amazing...
Any brown/Muslim guy = 9/11
Any Black guy/Girl = Gangster/Thug
Any Latino Guy/girl = Gang member or MS-13
Any White Pedo = Great Christian
Any Jew who doesn't support Israel in their Genocide = Self-Hating Jew
Any Zionist/Jew who supports Genocide = Friend/Ally until white Jesus return to kill or covert him.
