The city does not have a crime problem. It exists, but its down, and its lower than most comparable (and smaller cities). NYC is safe.
Socialism has a bad track record for a reason
Only because people confuse it with "communism", otherwise it has a great track record.
This isnt even getting into hos antisemitism
Yeah, thats why Brad Landers, the most prominent elected Jewish member of the NYC political scene endorsed him and campaigned with him?
Perhaps you don't know what you are talking about?

- carnufex 1y agoSocialism works in places with more or less homogenous populations. I always hear Norway/Sweden have universial everything. Yes they do cause taxes are sky high and the culture there is more or less the same. NYC is not Norway. People in Norway let babies sleep outside the supermarket when they go shopping. When you have that level of trust in a society, socialism has a fighting chance for sure. I think the establishment messed up big time here and Mamdami snatched it up.
- ModernMech 1y agoTrust only comes from building it. I think you're confusing cause and effect here. Norway has a higher trust society not because of who they are but because of how they treat one another.
- donohoe 1y agoI think you are cherry picking a few examples that you’ve heard about and inferring so so much into how they work based on generalizations at a country level. Not a very solid base.
