Today Zohran won his mayor race, not surprised and people are already cheering. Sneako the average Twitch fool was calling how only ‘real new yorkers’ will stay.

This is what annoys me, the idea of someone can promise the moon with everyone who can count knowing it cannot be done. Let me give you a prediction, New York will lose money and business because the cost of doing business will now be more then the cost of moving to somewhere more comfortable.

His promises of state-run grocery stores, free buss systems, and rent control will be no closer when he is done then when his term is done. This is something that annoys me though because I am not in New York and I could have told you that. State run grocery stores will at minimum cause an exodus of other stores and then when they can’t maintain keeping the process and logistics up it will not be able to get the food they had delivered in a proper manner.

Free Bus systems? I mean I work around transportation in a lot of volunteer work. That will take maybe billions, and they do not have the money or the tax base to push on to get that done. If they did, they would need to raise taxes and that will be a minimum of help needed from the state.

As for rent control, it has not worked. In fact, recently Javier Milei in Argentina removed rent control and the rent went down. 30% over two years. The market had made everything much more fluid and that caused the prices to fall. We have a group of people willing to be fed lies for votes and are shocked when nothing comes to pass.

None of this will work as it stands save some outside factor beyond thought or an act of economic mercy from a great power. Now, Portland is actually ahead of the curve because we currently have a socialist city council we have done nothing and in fact have been a shame upon their jobs. Any set of beliefs in itself generally is not a bad thing because the world will dictate one has to be flexible in their thinking to survive.

What I hate with a burning passion is zealotry. Politics, religion, anything that can make you blind to the color of an apple sitting on your desk just because someone else said it was another color and made word salad to cover it. Which funnily enough the new mayor of New York said he didn’t say anything about the grocery stores on CNN, and explained how he wanted to pick a fight with Trump.

Let me be clear, Trump annoys me too, a lot of people do. The greatest blow a democrat or group of democrats can do is to make a city that had been known for high taxes, for filth, and for using the power of state and local office unfairly is to get a city back to full running order and under budget. One city does that and every town and city will look at it wondering how they can do that and you will have people wanting to learn the plan.

Instead, we get the plan of Zohran, of Wyden and of the Portland Peacock Parade that we need to pick a fight. That fight has left us with less money, less resources, less people wanting to come here and more people moving out.

Instead of that we have someone in New York who has zero experience in anything getting away on lies he has to know he can’t commit to. In Virginia someone got elected after talking about how someone’s kids should be targeted with X and Reddit just celebrating tonight like it was the midterms. Congrats, this victory may be the best one you get.

Tell me what the republicans gathered from this?

That so long as someone as a D by their name they are all good. Sex offenders, violent zealots, so long as you have the stamp you are fine. That was the biggest point they used in a lot of ads, they are the party of hope and love. We just tossed that title into the trash and set it on fire. It angers me because it does no one in the long run any good. Midterms are going to be much different and now the party that the democrats have to deal with just got a note saying they don’t care unless they win.

We did not just win a hard fight, we just put the cape in front of the bull.
