Notable thing about Mamdani (and AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Murphy…)

is that they answer the Q indirectly, but also lay bare what a stupid question it is.

A: I will help A’s
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

Sacks is saying exactly what you’d say to prop up a bubble

Need to get some polling on him to pop the balloon
I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.

When MSM journalists say “the economy” they *always* mean business profits or Wall St.

Not consumer surplus or worker wages, which are obviously part of the economy.
