New York City generates $1.3 TRILLION in economic activity every year.
Mamdani's agenda requires an additional $0.007 trillion annually be spent on child care, transit & affordable housing
If that looks like a rounding error, that's because it is.

Larry Summers has brought so much disgrace to the institution that Movie and TV writers in Hollywood who went to Harvard are now only dropping a mention of it into every other sentence instead of every sentence.

If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.

Also, just LOOK at the energy Dawson brought to the role in that gif. Colman Domingo is sooooo cool and he has some amazing line deliveries, but because his gameshow host is not the primary antagonist, he's underutilized. He could have been so good in this role.

One more thing about The Running Man (the good one): Dawson's deeply unpleasant Killian who manages to riff and jive and come across as a saint and a star is exactly what people assume is the case for TV show hosts...and time has proved that assumption correct. Repeatedly. One of them is president.
It's the 1980s. It's Arnold. Arnold, apparently, hiring all the friends and acquaintances in the bodybuilding world he could convince the producers to get. Including Richard Dawson, a real life game show host who plays a version of himself through a mirror darkly. He's FANTASTIC, unsurprisingly.

Some takes I've heard about the new Running Man make me wanna point out how smart Arnold movies are. Not just Terminator and Total Recall. Movies he's in do such a great job breaking down complicated ideas for normies to understand.

No studio will touch King's original 1982 version, but it's still the best ending of the three versions so far.
Why it matters that Edgar Wright's The Running Man completely changes Stephen King's ending
