New York City tech leaders aren’t rattled by the prospect of a Mayor Mamdani. In fact, many of them welcome it.

    He’s just s mayor. Obviously, people don’t know how government works. He needs to be dictator before he can fundamentally change NYC.

      That’s your misunderstanding of how cities work, bud. Mayor is a far more powerful position than people believe and municipal elections are crazy important for bringing about real change and bringing it to the people directly.

      A lot of wealthy people will just leave NYC. Or they will stay with increased taxes and everything will be fine. Just like the fairytales we read growing up.

        Good. Make them run. Nip at their heels. Give them no rest or any place to hide until we corner them and take back from them everything.

        The rich are worthless. They bring nothing at all to the table. Their net value to humanity is negative. They only hoard.
