I'm not too concerned about Mamdani because he can't really victimize me. Eric Adams was a far left lunatic too, and so was the mayor before him (Michael Bloomberg.) They don't scare me. Kathy hochul is the real enemy. IJ> More companies may have to leave taking their tax base with them... their IJ> billionaires and and employees...

If they can make more money in a different state, then that's great. That way they can keep their prices consistent (better for us.) IJ> I was watching the news and they said they need at least 10K more police IJ> for NYC... there maybe an additional 4K retiring in 26... DEI can "solve" that hiring issue. Since the city already sucks anyway, why not fill up the police force with lazy unqualified people? Then Mamdani can brag about "We no longer have an officer shortage!"
