Person in a locker room looking into the camera with the caption “ mamdani made taylor swift pay taxes in nyc and now the budget is balanced and there's universal childcare and this is why "but taylor donates to food pantries" will never be good enough. billionaires not paying their taxes is WHY working class people are reliant on food pantries, dumb dumb.”

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Every billionaire is complicit, including your favorite billionaire: The pop star, the superstar athlete, the philanthropist, or the guru who cosplays as middle class. They're all motherfuckers.

    This is why I can't stand to watch professional sports anymore, just some millionaire getting payed by his billionaire owner to play a game so you stay distracted by your bread and circuses.

    Whatever you do, never mention this world-view at work, if you value your career.

    I just hoot and holler along.

    Totally honestly, I'm pretty open about all my views no matter where I am.

    I think theres a work face and a personal face, and letting everyone at work see who you really are opens you up to conflict at work because people are generally too stupid to pick their battles-- and my ability to freely associate or not associate with whoever I choose doesnt apply at work.

    Me too, because I don't really have a career. I've somehow sunk to my level of barely-competent "work" and collect a paycheck.

    But none of this is true. He didn't balance the budget by taxing more, he did it by cutting pension contributions and state subsidies.

    New Jersey tried this same playbook. It worked for a few years but now they are going bankrupt because the companies left.

    Same thing is already happening to new York. Citidel is already moving to Florida.
