Why do I think Mamdani will not last through his term?

“I’m a big believer in New York City and tradition.”

Nothing says tradition like a Muslim Marxist Mayor. Do words even mean anything to liberals? You’ve got to wonder.

The Curley Effect, coined by economists Edward Glaeser and Andrei Shleifer, is a political strategy where leaders use divisive rhetoric and wasteful redistribution to drive opposing voters out of a city or state, strengthening their own electoral base to maintain power despite causing long-term economic stagnation.

What’s the mayor going to do? Arrest and jail them all until morale improves?

Mamdani’s outspoken “Tax the rich” stance long inspired concerns that fat cats would rather get out of Dodge than live under a socialist mayor.

Shades of the Berlin Wall.

New York needs a Mamdani's Wall

From the article: ...prompted Andrew Murstein, founder of Medallion Financial Corp., to launch a campaign dubbed Operation Boomerang to woo his peeved peers back into... New York... he said "I’m a big believer in New York City and tradition."

The tradition being "collecting a percentage on the investments of my clients".

As they depart, his percentage disappears.

Is anyone really surprised that people respond to economic incentives/disincentives?

The reasons for New York City to exist vanished long ago.

Deep water port for sailing ships from Europe.
Same, but for Revolutionary War, war of 1812, used by both sides.
Louisiana Purchase open land started the mass migration.
Erie Canal brought good from the middle of the country.
More Immigrants to Go West.
WWI and WW Eleven needed the East Coast ports.

Huge Manufacturing in NYC with all those goods flowing in and export flowing out. NYC Neighborhoods got their names like “Meat Packing District”, “Garment District”.

Wall Street and Banking came from the above, not the other way around. All the Cultural stuff flowed from the Big Money.

That’s all gone now.
Wall Street back offices have been in New Jersey for decades. Now they are finally leaving.
UN Crap & NATO Horshiite have outlived their usefulness and are so phookin done.

And NYS Government has lead the way with all of the destruction.
There is no reason for NYC to be anything but the shiitehole it has become.
