NYC Mayor's race (2025)

[nikcers]

Jay Powell already recently said the tax base has peaked and jobs aren't being created anymore and implied that they wouldn't be because of AI.

I don't know if that information is true or not but if it is true then even lower interest rates wont help us.

The federal reserve has always had a lever to pull that would create jobs and create maximum employment.

He seems to already believe that we have reached maximum employment and many young people don't have jobs.

JD Vance said that the people would need to pressure their representatives to act if something like this ever happened - if they wanted to remain "sovereign citizens".

The only mechanism the government probably has would be to maybe lower taxes even further, to incentivize the free market.

A tax cut for people making under 250k a year would be a big deal.

Rand Paul was able to negotiate tax cuts for lower income brackets when the Republicans first passed tax cuts and a lot of jobs were created.

Those tax cuts were temporary- and were supposed to be renewed but the Republicans lost the 2020 elections and couldn't renew them.

Ever since then the amount of people on food stamps has only increased.

Republicans are going to have to do something about jobs or the democrats are going to win back the congress because of jobs alone.

100 or so mamdami democrats in the congress will make Republicans wish they did something.

Not hardly. The Fed creates exactly nothing but electrons, and wealth for the handful of now multinational banks that own it.

The fact that the USA has influence into other countries through our country's corporations is a good thing.

Alliances are how we won World War 2.

By having those alliances we didn't have to do the bulk of the fighting- and have many casualties, and we were able to destroy the league of nations system which allowed for our corporations to be able to enter markets that previously only did business within their own empires.

We still haven't gotten access to the Chinese empire's markets but we have access to Vietnam and other countries because of the trade negotiations Trump did.

The people with natural gas under their feet (Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela) beg to differ.

Europe and other countries tried a hostile takeover of our corporations.

They tried to steal our technology companies that we poured so much money into using the loophole of regulations and trade barriers they weaponized against us.

Luckily we had Trump who hit them back harder and got them to stop.

The democrats would have let them steal trillions of dollars worth of investments away because of their lack of backbone.

You'll get no argument from me on that, I agree.

If it were not for the non-American voting block, Mamdani would not even be running, nor would Cuomo for that matter.

It would be Sliwa V. Adams, again.

Okay. I had to think about that one for a bit. Yeah, the fall of Eric Adams started with him at first welcoming a large influx of immigrants, and then after the great Texas / Florida immigrant dump on northern cities decided "I don't really like this" and changed his tune and then all of a sudden he started getting hit with corruption charges. I don't know if he would have been out of the running without the lawfare though.

New York is a high value target so of course it is the place people would invade.

The fact that Adams fought against the demographic invasion made him a prime target. If he had survived the lawfare im certain they would have used other dirty tricks.

Haha.

On the bright side, at least we don't have to worry about Mamdani running for President in the future since he isn't eligible due to him not being born here.

What? Seriously? You just ruined my childhood. So Curtis Silwa did a Jussie Smollett before Jussie Smollett. You would think getting mugged on a NY subway would be easy enough.
