The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy. No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.

Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami. The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue. The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price. Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over. Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides. Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores. I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality. People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving. This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it. If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

John Fetterman brings the Kennedy Center to complete silence as he delivers this emotional message on stage: “I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. They are NOT fascists, they’re NOT Nazis, they’re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution.” “I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler.” “Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is let people grieve — give people the space. I’m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.” “It’s like, my God, he’s a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet. And now people have forgotten: President Trump was in my state — was shot in the head. Could you imagine where our nation would be if he were hit in the same way as Kirk? We really got to turn the temperature down.”

Here’s 19 precedents right here motherfucka

Mainstream media is so full of shit

Tylenol admitted in 2019: “We haven’t tested Tylenol to be used during pregnancy.” Read that again. For decades doctors told women it was the “safest option” while pharma never tested it, the FDA never required it, and doctors just parroted the lie. Now there are lawsuits linking prenatal Tylenol to autism and ADHD. This is the exact same con they pulled with vaccines. Declare them “safe and effective,” never run real long-term studies, never test combinations, never track the cumulative damage, then gaslight the parents who see their kids change right after a wellness visit. Tylenol was sold as safe when it wasn’t. Vaccines are sold as safe when they aren’t. Different drug, same scam. God bless

Reuters oof 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2013: Tylenol during pregnancy could affect development 2025: Not backed by science

It’s awesome how Democrats called it fascism when Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for 6 days, but not this. The Biden admin was literally threatening platforms to remove media that went against their messaging. Legitimately fascist. Actual fascism.

Will Barack Hussein Obama or any other far-left clown who criticized Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, claiming that “free speech is under attack,” comment on this?

This young lady and @Timcast make excellent points. Do you agree with them?

The left will make fun of you for choosing to stay home full-time to raise your kids—then kill your husband and mock you for not staying home with your kids, all because you took over his charity organization (which you inherited, not by choice) to keep his legacy and mission alive

I was reliably told that Donald Trump fascistly banned Jimmy Kimmel with his bare hands, how could Disney overpower literally Hitler like this?
