@mcuban Game changer

What if there was a bank account available, that required you to deposit monthly, what you would have paid an insurance company in premiums, for an ACA silver plan. So for a family of 5 about $2100. The amount would then be used for Stop Loss Insurance set at $30k dollars. About $300. Another $200 would be used for local Direct Primary Care for your family The balance would be in YOUR bank account. Like an HSA, It could only be used for approved medical expenses. If you never have any medical expenses, you will get to keep the money plus checking act level interest, when you turn 65 If you have a medical event that is more than what you have saved, your bank will loan you the money you need to pay for it, up to the $30k stop loss trigger You would repay that amount using the monthly $1600 net deposit. Once the loan is paid off, the deposits start to accrue to you again. This is not insurance. It’s a specially designed bank account that gives you control, support, a doctor to work with and catastrophic financial protection. Lots of work and issues to be addressed. But I was curious what people think Let me know !

@naomirwolf Didn’t the Ugandans expel the Indians as colonizers and exploiters?

This is so not a New Yorker attititude. People come to New York from all over with dreams of scaling every height. Class hatred is not an indigenous vibe to our city. Uganda in contrast is a rigidly hierarchical society, with little social mobility, and with people like Mamdani at the top.

@NYCMayor Burning it down

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

@nypost They’re looking to see which providers are going to give them the biggest kickback. Expect something odd in there like Hims lotion.

Mamdani’s city-owned grocery stores will only guarantee lower prices for a core ‘basket of goods’ trib.al/POd0iEC

@Bubblebathgirl How many people do you think will get shot or stabbed here?

Mayor Mamdani says there’ll be “an essential basket of goods” at his city-run grocery stores that will be priced noticeably lower than at other supermarkets. We’ve already seen this strategy before. We know what it results in. And none of it is good. Get ready for long lines, poor customer service, and operating at a loss. This will also hurt bodegas and smaller grocery stores. Mamdani is essentially using tax dollars to drive mom-and-pop businesses out of business. That’s socialism for you. (abc7ny on TT)

@RezaC1 @NYCComptroller Check out high speed rail or the learing center

Hey @NYCComptroller can you please conduct an analysis on this to provide an explanation? You are supposed to be an ombudsman for the city's finances.

@mattforney Testosterone

Women are getting balder

@JCAndersonNYC How much do you want to bet that the store ends up costing $100m by the time it opens.

Spending $30M in taxpayer dollars on a brand-new grocery store when you could purchase a vacant one for $5M is delivering stupidity, not affordability.

@Rightanglenews @IsaiahLCarter Whoa

@JonathanTurley “Warmth”

The start-up costs of this first store will consume almost half of the budget for the original cost estimate for all five stores. Soon, New Yorkers will be subsidizing grocery stores to artificially support the myth of socialism. jonathanturley.org/2026/04/14/la-…

@RezaC1 @VickieforNYC This will be the California high speed rail of grocery stores.

$30M OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO DRIVE OUT 11 TAXPAYING BUSINESSES AND THEIR ASSOCIATED PRODUCTIVITY Imagine being one of the 11 grocery stores in the area and paying taxes and fees that are used to finance socialist mayorista's mamdani mart ™ to undercut your business. A publicly funded expansion into private markets that will displace taxpaying businesses without the same cost structure or risk is the appetizer to Mamdani's stated goal of "seizing the means of production".

@nobodyhere23 @WhitneyTilson $30mm? How much of that will be going to PhDs acting as executives?

@WhitneyTilson If grocery stays small and isn't a competitor it'll be fine. In effect it'd be like food pantry. I'm trying to hard figure out what would success be. Is success reducing tax revenue by 30M*tax rate+Lost rents*taxrate? Because losing tax revenue doesn't seem to make sense.

Throughout the campaign I said city-run grocery stores are a really dumb idea. Even dumber is the location of the first store Mamdani is proposing, at 116th and Park, which is only a few blocks from the Costco on East 117th Street. That store, which I go to every week or two, REALLY delivers savings to New Yorkers – for example, I showed that you can buy TWO dozen eggs there for the same price as ONE dozen at local supermarkets. And, needless to say, rather than requiring upfront and ongoing subsidies from taxpayers, the store pays taxes to the city. Here’s an idea. Assume each store costs the $30 million budgeted for the first one. That’s $150 million – let’s pro-rate that over five years, so that’s $30 million per year. And all five will require $100 million PER YEAR in subsidies (per the article below) – so that’s $20 million, for a total of $50 million ANNUALLY. A regular Costco membership costs $65/year, but Costco discounts that for new members by offering a one-time $45 “Digital Costco Shop Card,” making the first-year price only $20. I’ll bet Mamdani could easily persuade Costco to give the city a $50 rate, which means for the same $50 million he’s going to squander on lousy, permanently-money-losing grocery stores, he could provide ONE MILLION New Yorkers with a Costco membership that would allow them to save 25-50% not just on food and groceries, but clothing, furniture, bicycles, etc. ----------------------- Mamdani Plans to Open City-Owned Grocery Store in East Harlem Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced plans for a city-owned grocery store at La Marqueta, moving to deliver on a campaign pledge. nytimes.com/2026/04/12/nyr…

@newnwrkchk70 @nicksortor I see Somalis and Nigerians doing it all day long

@nicksortor @nicksortor LMFAO!! More MAGA lies. If she is from Arkansas, she can't do Doordash in DC. This was staged. YOU fuckers are so goddamn retarded!!

The White House just released more details on the DoorDash Grandma, who just delivered an order of McDONALD'S to President Trump in the Oval Office Sharon Simmons from Arkansas: - Is grandma of 10 - Started dashing in 2022 - Completed 14,000 DELIVERIES - Has saved $11,000 in taxes thanks to Trump's No Tax on Tips Much deserved!

@JRobFromMN How many 6 figure executive salaries will they be paying?

Fun Facts... It Costs Aldi about $1.5-3M to Open a New Store The 5 New York City Run Grocery Stores are budgeted at $60M total The First Store actually has a $30M Budget to Open This is after the city will own the sites, waive rent and property taxes, and partner with third-party operators while subsidizing to keep prices lower. So with a TON of regulations waived, costs absorbed by the tax payers, the project still has a 10x budget,(which they will go way over)

@joekent16jan19 Traitor

It appears that the zero enrichment poison pill killed the Islamabad negotiations yesterday. We have 9 more days in this cease fire to fix this, but we must pursue our goals not Israel's. Trump's redline has always been no nuclear weapons for Iran, not zero enrichment. Iran agrees with this and has not sought to develop or obtain a nuke since 2003 but needs to retain the ability to enrich for their "not Saddam but not Qaddafi" policy to work. This makes negotiations between the U.S. & Iran workable as the dispute is on levels of enrichment and monitoring. This is a threat to Israel getting us to do the heavy lifting in the regime change/decapitation war they want. Israel needs us chasing every trace of uranium in Iran because that ensures we stay engaged militarily in Iran, because how do we ever fully make sure Iran can't enrich without taking out the regime? This is the recipe for an endless bloody war or supporting/turning a blind eye to Israel using a WMD on Iran. Restrain Israel, get a deal, open the SOH, focus on saving our Republic, not playing empire.

@BillboardChris Well THEY got themselves a universal basic income.

Canada’s cumulative real GDP growth per capita over 10 years is only 1.1%, second-worst among the top 38 high-income economies. We have such an incredible amount of resources that we could be #1, have no federal debt, eliminate income tax, and pay a universal basic income. Instead, these fools can’t even get a pipeline built, yet think they’re shaping a ‘new world order.’

@CGasparino Democracy has failed.

Were it not for massive illegal immigration, states like NY, Cali and Illinois might not have any population in the next decade

@ajlamesa 4 and 2 are incompatible

A few more thoughts on the machete attack at Grand Central: 1) The attacker had 13 prior arrests (one for menacing with a sharp object). Should individuals with criminal records that long be informed that they are simply not allowed on public transit for a period of time? 2) We don’t want to go back to the days of stopping and frisking random kids, but should police be empowered to selectively stop individuals who are visibly unwell for bag searches in and around transit stations and public spaces? I’m guessing this man probably didn’t appear of sound mind when he entered the subway. He also probably fare evaded — could fare evasion automatically trigger a frisk and/or bag search? Machetes and long knives are serious weapons that should be treated like illegal guns in terms of the attention we want to devote to confiscating them. 3) Thank god there were two NYPD detectives working overtime at the subway station. Certain leftists who say police don’t make transit safer are out of their minds. Civilians could not have stopped this man. 4) The victims were vulnerable elderly people, presumably targeted for their frailty and weakness. Transit systems must be safe for little kids and elderly people to use at all times of the day and night.

@TimRunsHisMouth Gangster

By the way, I 100% believe Eric Swalwell is being set up by the democrat party to be forced out of a primary where he’d split the vote allowing a republican to potentially become governor of California. It’s how the Democrat machine operates. They’ll sacrifice him by any means necessary to win.
