Reminder

@WoIstMeinPanzer @selise @SVRohr @NYCMayor You're describing unemployment. That's what happens when investment stops. If you want fewer people fired, you need more people willing to build and hire. Taxing the return out of that equation doesn't help the guy with $20. It eliminates the job he was supposed to get.

@PredictableArc @selise @SVRohr @NYCMayor Some people WILL die because they were fired from work and have not even 20 dollars to their name. Guess which group is more prevalent in American society.

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.

You’re calling spending “investment” without showing how it increases output. Public services can improve living conditions, but they don’t inherently create the kind of growth that funds the system. If the people generating returns see lower returns, they adjust. That’s the constraint you keep ignoring.

@PredictableArc @selise @SVRohr @NYCMayor Besides the proposed taxes won't be distributed out on the streets as stimulus cheques to random bystanders. The proposed investment areas are all long-term, high reward areas. Be it 2K and 3K, or free busses or SMT helplines. They help everyone in the city including the rich

That’s not ROI, that’s a subsidy You’re lowering the cost of living for some by raising the cost of producing for others An “ecosystem” only works if it generates more output than it consumes If you make it easier to live but harder to build, invest, and scale, you don’t get growth. You get dependency. That’s not a return, it's redistribution with a nicer label

@PredictableArc @selise @SVRohr @NYCMayor The ROI is there. You simply refuse to see it. In a city like NYC where it is gradually becoming less possible to live in and to work in, the coming years will only see a bigger labour insufficiency. By making it easier for people to live in New York, you create an ecosystem.

China isn’t a flex, it’s a closed system. People can’t freely move, capital is controlled, and the state dictates outcomes. That’s why it “works.” The U.S. isn’t that. ~65% homeownership, top-tier incomes, high consumption living standards. So no, it’s not collapsing. You’re advocating higher costs without creating more growth or return. In an open system, people don’t sit there and take it. They leave.

@PredictableArc @selise @SVRohr @NYCMayor Besides, there are fucking types of capitalism you buffoon. China thrived on Keynesian Capitalism/State Capitalism. Is it anything like American neoliberalism slop? Does America have a homeownership rate over 90%? Did America see an increase or a decrease in any QoL metric?

Higher taxes only work if the return is there. Mamdani raises costs without increasing returns. The “return” is redistribution, not growth or capital upside. That’s not ROI for the people funding it. In a mobile world, people and capital leave. We’ve seen this before. Eventually, the money runs out.

@PredictableArc @selise @SVRohr @NYCMayor What Zohran proposes is not even close to the amount of regulations and taxes imposed at the bottom of that capitalist American curve. You people need a severe reality check.

Nice U-curve. Too bad the bottom wasn't built on socialism, it was still capitalist America post-WWII. Every full Zohran-style experiment elsewhere (USSR, Venezuela, Cuba, Mao's China) ended in collapse, not booms. Cute graph. Got data from any economy that actually thrived on this? Nah.

@SVRohr @NYCMayor ourworldindata.org/grapher/income…

@NYCMayor So your response is to deploy an economic strategy that has a century of recorded failure. It'll work this time, guys.

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

@Bubblebathgirl He definitely slapped her ass

Eric Swalwell’s lawyer, Sara Azari, says the allegations against Swalwell are false, yet “he’s been advised not to make any statements.” If Swalwell was innocent, he would be suing the accusing women for defamation and not resigning from Congress. He would also not be quiet. He would be going on every news show he could to insist he’s innocent. Swalwell knows he’s likely going to jail for his sex crimes. That’s the real reason he’s bailing on his political career. (newsnationnow on TT)

OMFG

Mayor Zohran Mamdani that the first city-owned grocery store – which carries a whopping $30 million expected price tag – won’t open until 2029. trib.al/zJEMm8D

@WilliyRegina @icantputmynam @Acyn @daveweigel That wasn’t the question

@icantputmynam @Acyn @daveweigel So that would mean he raped some one ,what the hell dude ?

Reporter: Have you ever engaged in any inappropriate sexual misconduct or behavior towards your staff, other staff, other women outside of your marriage? Gallego: No

@GovPressOffice “End the war” won’t fix this chart ~$1.30 per gallon is government take Built and expanded under Gavin Newsom You’re arguing headlines This is policy energy.ca.gov/estimated-gaso…

That's because they don't cover bullshit propaganda from right-wing trolls posing as “reporters.” FACT CHECK: x.com/govpressoffice… If you could focus on ending the war so prices stop skyrocketing, that’d be great.

@CollinRugg He'll make a perfect MSNBC host

BREAKING: Woman accuses Eric Swalwell of drugging her and r*ping her while his wife was pregnant. "I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant," said Loanna Drewes. "He r*ped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness and I thought I died. I did not consent to any s*xual activity."

@nypost Putting $30M on black would be a better investment

Staggering 8-figure sum NYC taxpayers will pay to fund Mamdani’s first city-owned grocery revealed. Read today's cover here: trib.al/CfovA96

Hey Miami Heat, now youse can’t leave!

@QueenG940 @NYCMayor Stop projecting with your Islamist bullshit

@PredictableArc @NYCMayor Propaganda bullshit that’s what America is cooked because he’s run by Zionist capitalist Nazi fascist the stealing innocent people money in our mass, murdering in genocide them

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 

100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

@RepSwalwell @lookner Hunter Biden’s wingman

Hear it directly from me. These allegations are flat false. And I will fight them.
