    the amount of fear and anger coming from these people all because they’ll earn less money is fucking nauseating. oh no, Mamdani might use your money to help everyone in NYC including you. the horror. you’re right.

      And this is the issue that was worth having a meltdown over. Not any of the kidnapping, not Trump’s tariffs and market manipulation, not Adams’ corruption or Cuomo’s COVID scandals. Their utter silence on everything else makes their current freak out transparently hollow. None of them are worried about NYC, they’re worried about the idea of the uberwealthy getting taxed to make life better for everyone else catching on.

      Yes, but also, people at that level do not, strictly speaking, “earn” money. They extract it from the labor of others.

        very true. i am using “earn” here as a synonym for merely obtaining. it should be read as thieve, as in “they’ll thieve less money.”
