@BranziniHaddock @boneysoups Interestingly, the closure of Limelight led to the firing of employee Angel Hernandez so he had to couchsurf at Michael Alig's apartment, a club kid who ultimately killed him, a sensation in the news at the time.

FUCK man, this is actually breaking me. I went all in because I truly believed my read was right. Now I’m watching years of grinding, stress, sleepless nights and everything I built get wiped out in real time. If $BTC loses 75k, I’m probably finished. Yesterday I felt untouchable. Today I can barely look away from the chart. I keep refreshing like something is going to save me, but the truth is I let one trade get big enough to decide my life. Knowing I did this to myself because I got greedy and started thinking I couldn’t lose... that’s what hurts most.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

“But the interesting point here is that he thinks all the profit being generated by the workers should go to them” How dare the surfs think they are entitled to the fruits of their Labour!

Here is another stupid take by a silly little socialist. They are two separate businesses. I don't take a wage from the coffee shop despite owning and operating it at the senior level. There is no money left to pay me. I do it out of love. The costs of the podcast are paid out of the profits of the podcast, which is a good little business. But the interesting point here is that he thinks all the profit being generated by the workers should go to them. But the silly little socialists can't fathom the following: 1. I took the risk to open the coffee shop - the £120k refurb, the 10 year lease, the business plan and the risk. My reward for the risk if the profits if it works, which I can share with the staff if I choose. 2. But even if we take the silly little socialist mildly seriously (we shouldn't, he's a dumb dumb), if the business fails and is losing money, should we blame the workers and should it be deducted from their salary? This is why these silly little revolutionaries should not be taken seriously. Firstly they don't understand economics, second they are fundamentally stupid, third their model is based on envy, fourth they have no answer to the coordination problem. I could go on, probably not worth it as you can't reason with silly little socialists.

@RoKhanna @BernieSanders Elon bailed out the US space program, reduced pollution with EVs, and saved lives with autonomous driving. You've ruined your state, driven up the deficit, printed too many dollar, and now you're begging for money to bribe your voters. Nice!

In that case, are you willing to pay a modest trillionaire & billionaire tax to pay for checks to working families? We could start with the modest $3000 check @BernieSanders and I have proposed for families under $150,000?
Elon Musk@elonmusk

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@bradlander I'm not remotely "the richest," but I'm starting to feel unwelcome. And when I'm gone, you won't have my taxes.

I believe it is time to tax the richest New Yorkers. My opponent does not. There was just a major victory with the new proposed tax on luxury second homes. That’s tremendous progress. Now we need to keep pushing for a state budget that invests in working families & allows them to afford life in NYC.

@BilldeBlasio @ZohranKMamdani Why are they food deserts? Demand. And crime. If residents could (well, wanted to) spend on vegetables, there would be vegetables.

To all the critics of this plan: Neither the private sector nor the public sector has solved the growing problem of food deserts. So kudos to @ZohranKMamdani for not accepting the broken status quo and helping families get affordable food. That doesn’t sound so radical to me…

@NYCMayor This is a republic. No friction to move to Luxembourg (FL) from France (NY) because they're in the same country. Or vice versa! Not only are the wealthiest leaving, you're incentivizing the poorest to come.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. That’s why we’ve been told for far too long that tax reform is politically infeasible, too complex, and too radical. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship — and where billionaires can in effect opt out of contributing to the society that made their success possible.

New Yorkers have been clear in poll after poll: tax the rich. Today, @GovKathyHochul is listening. If you can afford a $5+ million second home sitting empty most of the year, you can afford to contribute to the city that made it worth that much. We need to keep pushing.

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

Imagine you've got a bunch of roads with lights and intersections, but "marginalized groups" and low income folks all have right of way over locals at any green light. This is a post about the economy.

@ConradforHarlem We pay people to remain at <140% of the poverty line and wonder why they stay there. Broken incentives is the answer. Pay them more and more will stay.

Helping the Black community means taxing the rich, investing in our neighborhoods, expanding social services, and fighting deed theft. If you aren't fighting for this from Hochul in the budget, you aren't fighting for Black New Yorkers.
Jason Beeferman@JasonBeeferman

Speaking after @ZohranKMamdani at Al Sharpton’s @NationalAction convention, Speaker @JulieMenin says her work for the Black community includes saying NO to Mamdani’s budget proposal. “We’re also focused in the City Council on making sure that we are protecting the Black community, and by doing that, I say we have said a hard ‘No’ to raising property taxes 9.5%. That is unacceptable, because if we were to do that, we would be hurting black communities across our city.”

@itslaylas We spend $81,705/homeless person. That's roughly the median income of New Yorkers. The more you "help" them the more they come.

@CMSandyNurse Second. Order. Consequences. Tax the rich and they leave. Give to the poor and they come. This will destroy your tax base. I've never felt more strongly that I should leave because I can see the consequences coming.

The numbers are in and they are damning: 62% of NYers can’t afford to live here. The median white household holds 15x the wealth of the median Black household. The True Cost of Living report & Racial Equity Plan show the affordability crisis is a racial justice crisis.
