@HDogetagonist @balajis Based on NYC and San Francisco we are in the 500’s on this graph!!📈

@balajis Toilet progress over the years

Western civilization has collapsed before. But a few scholars preserved the ideas that once made Rome great. They made a backup, and it did eventually come all the way back. It just took one thousand years.

@FuhgedNews Hard to believe but NYC is actually falling behind other 3rd world countries, Manila’s subway doesn’t flood anymore. Only NYC and Dhaka with this problem now!!

NYC subway flooding again? Mayor Mamdani, fix the damn drains already, you bum.

@ooana @NikMilanovic When I left New York for Florida, I thought I would miss the city and come back 4-5x a year. That was 15 yrs ago and I can count on one hand all the times I have been back!!

@NikMilanovic Florida looks better and better.

NYC is worth the taxes

@Lougotfacts @NikMilanovic You would think but no matter how much rent you pay you will find yourself in a subway car with lots of empty seats and a guy screaming and throwing punches at shadows and a smell of urine so strong you will want to puke. 🤮

@NikMilanovic 6k a month rent, keeps the riff raff out

@lenagrundhoefer You skipped a couple stages, I could never live anywhere else, and don’t know how I lived in that shithole all those years.

living in nyc: year 0-1: i like it here year 1-5: i love it here year 5-7: i like it here year 8+: i need to split time or get me out of here

@andruyeung Or move to Florida and enjoy life instead!!

If you have a decent, well-priced apartment right now, hold on to it for dear life.

@realajedelman Tokyo metro carries 3x more riders per year, everything you said is true but New York is much worse than you think!!🤔

Just got back from Tokyo. To NYC. It's hard to avoid the blindingly obvious truth--NY tax dollars are disgustingly wasted. It's shocking, the state of the City considering it's budget. You could "tax the rich" into bankruptcy and it wouldn't fix the MTA, which carries approximately the same ridership as the Tokyo Metro but has a budget 5.5x larger than Tokyo's. I mean the answer isn't dollars, it's actually just a question of efficiency. And NYC's government is corrupt, bloated, and the poster child of inefficiency.

Bass has became a punch line. #TweakersForBass 😂

@ericadamsfornyc Remember honest politicians have no chance to succeed, as fairy tales and made up stories are much more enjoyable to hear!!

There was never a $12 billion hole in the budget. That fairy tale was cooked up to justify reckless spending and political theater. I left the incoming administration with $8 billion in reserves, not a financial apocalypse. Albany election-year bailouts are not a long-term economic strategy. The free money dries up after Election Day, but the bloated “free” programs stay forever. And here’s the part the socialists in City Hall never want to admit: the millionaires and billionaires they love demonizing already pay roughly 40% of NYC’s taxes. Keep demonizing the people creating jobs, investing in this city, and carrying the tax base, and eventually they’ll stop investing here altogether. Facts are stubborn things. Even when some politicians aren’t.

@CGasparino They are leaving so fast it is impossible to get an accurate count but seems to be about 10%-20% of people making over $250k a year.

Who said no one is leaving?

@Bubblebathgirl Only inherited money will stay in NYC no one that worked and earned their money will want to give it to the clowns running the city.

Gov. Kathy Hochul just expanded the net on NYC’s new second-home tax. It now starts at properties with a “market value” of $1 million or more (for the next two years) — it used to be for second homes starting at $5 million. Plus, there’s a new surcharge on all-cash home purchases over $1 million. This is part of Mayor Mamdani’s push to “tax the rich” and close the budget gap. Critics say it’ll speed up the wealthy exodus from NYC to lower-tax states. Will they just pay it and stay… or pack up for Florida/Texas? (Video: AI)

@jonbrooks More than 1/2 of Americans are broke. $115k is middle class and median is $69k. Lovely!!

If you make under $115,000 a year, you’re now basically lower middle class in America. Read that again. It now takes roughly $116,000 of household income to afford a house. The median household income? Just $69,000. This is why: • People feel broke • Consumer debt is exploding • Young families can’t get ahead • The middle class is disappearing in real time The economy looks strong on paper. But the average American is getting financially suffocated.

How many Bentley’s have US taxpayers paid for in Ukraine 🇺🇦? theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

San Francisco is banning outdoor smoking because the LAST thing people wanna do is smell a disgusting cigarette while they’re pooping on the sidewalk.

Whenever I read an article that doesn't say claim at 62, I just assume it is propaganda promoted by our broke government to trick people into receiving less money.. Social Security claims at 62 get social media buzz — experts say proceed with caution cnb.cx/4niNbjy

Painfully true.

@MarioNawfal It is insulting to compare Chicago to a Third World country, many lesser developed countries are nice just lacking infrastructure. Chicago is a complete sh*th*le.

🇺🇸 WTF is happening in Chicago?! Teens taking over the streets, burning cars in the middle of the road, blocking traffic like it’s nothing. This looks out of a 3rd-world civil war video. Will ANYONE actually get arrested for this?

@s_loeb62157 worldwide problem!!

@DanielSLoeb1 @NYCMayor @GretaThunberg Have no pity for New Yorkers that stay, move to Florida or stop crying.

Well said. We have a spoiled child serving as Mayor in @NYCMayor with the intellectual rigor of @GretaThunberg . The sad part is that his incompetence will lead inevitably to a loss of jobs, economic hardship and increased crime in the poor and working communities he claims to want to help. The rich who don’t flee will continue to live their lives in their protective bubble.

@patrickbetdavid Look at Cuba 🇨🇺 or Venezuela 🇻🇪, even if your wealth is tied to physical assets it is better to sell for what you can and leave versus staying. Once socialism takes hold you can never pay enough taxes to satisfy them!! No one has ever regretted leaving Havana!! Or Caracas!!

What politicians like Mamdani are missing in 2026. In 1970, 85% of S&P 500 wealth was tied to tangible assets. Politicians could bully the wealthy because money couldn’t move. Today, 90% is intangible: code, IP, capital. Wealth is now mobile. Push too hard & it leaves.
