Have you ever taken time to appreciate the irony that the people most upset about your Gaza starvation story are a bunch on 10/7 rape deniers?

What do New Yorkers see in Mamdani? Why do they believe he can fix NYC's extreme dysfunction? Or is he just a protest vote against a political system incapable of fixing NYC's dysfunction?

In the seventies, the Anglo world went mad.

Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Britain, America—all in chaos. The Black Panthers were blowing things up, Nixon was setting haircut prices, the IRA was bombing pubs, strikes over trifling matters in The Three Dominions.

Everyone wanted a bigger slice of the pie.

Then came the eighties. Reagan, Thatcher, Hawke, Keating, Lange, Douglas, and Mulroney—all stopped fighting over slices and started growing the pie.

Prosperity followed.

Are we just in that messy stage before the next rebuild?

And maybe that’s why 'special' people like Zohran Mamdani (and starmer) are popping up—early signs that another set of reformers are on the way?

Do you think if everyone dropped out of the race but Cuomo, he could stand a chance against Momdani? Or are people so desperate for free stuff due to it growing harder and harder for young people to get where they want to be economically, that it doesn’t matter if Cuomo is somehow more moderate? Thank you!

Are Jews in New York taking precautionary steps to begin hiding their identity as they do in Paris and London ahead of Mamdani's expected win?

What timeline do you give NYSE to move out of NYC after Mamdani begins his deconstruction of capitalism, competitive markets, and real estate values and his introduction of state-owned grocery stores and other destructive gimmicks he plans to introduce?

Do you think that the mayoral polls and the probable result in NYC are a backlash response to the presidential elections? Are big cities moving ideologically in a different direction than the rest of the country or is that in sync?

If new York takes the nose dive it is likely to given some of Mamdanis policy suggestions, what city do you think will emerge to take over its status as a cultural and financial hotspot?

What sort of person is going to emerge to undo the likely damage Mamdani is doing to cause while mayor? Are there already some up and coming centrist, libertarian, true liberal or right leaning candidates?
