"Hmmm......what's going to happen to the free buses and free, universal child care program for 2-year-olds in NYC that I voted for?" Altogether now: "We told you so!"
I'm not a fan and did not vote for the new mayor, but what makes you think he won't accomplish his goals?
And why do you care?
We all got what you voted for...

'Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.'

Cheering against...making the rich and corporations paying more?"Hmmm......what's going to happen to the free buses and free, universal child care program for 2-year-olds in NYC that I voted for?" Altogether now: "We told you so!"
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Announces $12 Billion Budget Deficit and Proposes Tax Increases on Wealthy Residents and Corporations
No, it's the common worker that will be paying the price....as businesses leave due to the high cost, jobs are lost, people lose their homes.,cities dry up and go to ruin.
What's to cheer FOR?
Thousands Of Businesses Fleeing New York, Many Jobs At Risk
Approximately 5,000 businesses have left New York, and many others may follow.
I don't think that is the issue with the general population. It's not WHY they are dead, but rather SHOULD THEY HAVE BEEN SHOT? You, I detect, are on the yes they should have been shot side of it. There are a lot of people on the no, they should't have been shot side, and they're not all lefties, whackos, etc. I wouldn't expect those that I'm calling the general population to change sides absent some new convincing facts. Unless that happens, it's just going to be the two sides shouting their facts past each other, or respecting that many people see it the opposite way. For my preference it would be nice to state an opinion without getting schooled about why it's wrong.
And hopefully those who count the votes don't fold under pressure from a lying cheating grifter...
Ok so have corporations pay less and then...everyone still gets screwed?No, it's the common worker that will be paying the price....as businesses leave due to the high cost, jobs are lost, people lose their homes.,cities dry up and go to ruin.

Someone (chap1982) doesn't get how this works. Here's a quick read to help you figure it out...

The Parable of 10 Men in A Bar - The Wealth Navigator
How does the Tax System Work As we lead into the 2016 - 2017 Budget and the 2016 Federal Election, all this discussion around tax changes reminded me of an old parable i read many years ago. I think this best explains how the tax system does (and does not) work. Your thoughts?

Was about to say something similar but that's good enough and will hopefully help them understand.
Of course, it would be better if there wasn't so much rampant corruption in NYC and everybody could pay less taxes... my feeling is that de Blasio and Adams were above average crooks... Bloomberg was the last decent mayor, and that's coming from a Democrat!

Alex Pretti spits at ICE agents and smashes federal SUV's tail light in shocking footage taken 11 days before he was shot dead
“Alex Pretti was filmed spitting at a federal SUV, smashing its tail light and fighting with cops 11 days before the fatal shooting that shocked America. Lawyers for Pretti's family confirmed to The Star Tribune that the agitator in the footage on January 11 is, in fact, him. Pretti's attendance was confirmed with the help of BBC facial recognition software and published in a joint effort between the British public broadcaster and The News Movement. “

Video at the link shows how unhinged Pretti was. He was also had his pistol. I like the video on Fox News a lot better, but this one is OK. Also, to think that this unhinged idiot was/is a nurse.
