Welcome to New Mogadishu!

Welcome to New Mogadishu!

Congratulations, New York City! You have just elected an inexperienced, childish, anti-Semitic, anti-American, Moslem to be your next mayor. You have bought the ticket, now get ready to take the ride.

Aside from being a Moslem – which should have been reason enough to vote against him, Mamdani’s socialist platform is not only childish, but completely unworkable. It is so stunningly insipid that it is hard to know where to begin dissecting it.

Minimum Wage – The Zohran has promised to increase NY’s minimum wage to $30/hour by 2030. Every time any government increases minimum wage two things happen simultaneously. First, there is an immediate increase in prices of goods and services to cover increased cost of labor, Second, there is an uptick in unemployment as those businesses that can not raise prices cut labor costs by cutting employees. You have bought the ticket, now get ready to take the ride.

City Owned Grocery Stores – This is even dumber than The Zohran’s minimum wage idea. His published platform calls for these stores to sell their products at the purchase price with no markup to cover costs. All operating costs, all hired labor, everything will be at the “city’s” expense. Which means at the taxpayers’ expense. This would be a bad idea even if The Zohran would seek out the best and brightest grocery chain managers to set this up and run it, but he will not. The Zohran will put his socialist buddies in charge, guaranteeing the bad idea will be a total cluster fuck. Other countries have tried government run stores in the past and all have failed. The Zohran’s no profit groceries will fail too. You have bought the ticket, now get ready to take the ride.

City Run Housing – Even more stupid than city run groceries are The Zohran’s plans to control housing rents in the city. It has been tried before and has failed before. It will fail again. Even more ignorant is The Zohran’s proposal for the city to build and manage “affordable” housing. Governments cannot manage anything and if this is enacted the city council of New York will become Gotham’s latest slumlord, owning overpriced, poorly built, crappy tenements. You have bought the ticket, now get ready to take the ride.

We could go on and on pointing out the idiotic things that New Yorkers voted for but let us just look at one more – free childcare. Beyond the fact that no government has any authority to provide childcare, this is an incredibly stupid idea. The Zohran’s plans to pay daycare workers the same as teachers, meaning minimally educated and trained people will be earning approximately $76,308 in today’s money. Just where do you think the money for those big paychecks will come from? Yep – your tax dollars! You have bought the ticket, now get ready to take the ride.

Yes, New York, you really stepped in it this time. As a wise cowman once told me, “You can’t cry for everyone.”  I do not have any sympathy for the city of New York and its residents. You made a dreadful choice by electing The Zohran. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” There will be no bountiful harvest of peace, tranquility, and prosperity in The Zohran’s socialist, dystopian version of New York City. America’s once greatest city will be nothing but a crime-ridden, filthy, third world shit hole city. Maybe a name change for your city is in order. Maybe “New Mogadishu” would be more fitting.

Yes, New Yorkers, you have bought the ticket, now get ready to take the ride.
