This is almost precisely that. It's 1% more than 3% per year over 10 years for mayor, and half that for the council members.

I'm not sure where you got the idea they "acknowledged" this as their reason. It's a wholly unsupported theory based on nothing but some random opinion in the NYT (although I do love the notion that this opinion somehow "got lost amid the excitement" as opposed to simply being uninteresting).
It doesn't even make sense. You don't need an opposition filibuster unless the majority of the party is "fringe" (straining the meaning of fringe). There are plenty of other ways to bury a bill or -- worst case -- excuse a couple defectors.
Are you sure that's not the FORTRAN meetup?
People probably mistakenly assumed the law was in good faith and would do something like ban hanging crosses around the classroom, not ban covering up part of your body. Calling head coverings "religious symbols" is flatly dishonest. Next up anybody who doesn't eat bacon at every meal will be fired for forcing their religion on others.
I feel like there may be a subtle statistical error in judging the overall will of "Democratic voters" based on rough observations of attendees of a Mamdani rally.
Does work for Tampa though
A European starling called "The Mouth" was able to mimic sounds well enough to reproduce a drawing in the spectrograph:
What I’m not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC ... is accepting help
Cuomo is running as an independent. He is running against the DNC.
Well they saved "258 million" people from fentanyl overdose in 100 days; finding half of them jobs in a week should be no problem.

Capitalism isn't unique in perpetuating injustice, but it certainly excels at it, with passive exponentiality and unprecedented scalability.
Regarding comparison to planned economies, I was solely referring to resource distribution. Planned economies (including the planned aspects of mixed economies) typically have significantly more equitable distribution of resources than capitalism. Certainly there is still massive inequality, but it is far less than capitalism. E.g. the Gini index for USSR/Russia basically doubled when capitalism replaced communism.
Amplifying that last point:
- Capitalism amplifies and perpetuates injustice. E.g. descendants of both enslaving and enslaved are receiving exponentially multiplied effects of actions 100+ years ago.
- Because wealth is power, concentrated wealth often receives far better than average returns by rigging systems in its favor.
Even ignoring these perversions, capitalism is terrible at answering the economic question, "for whom to produce." This isn't much of a change relative to previous systems, but it compares unfavorably in this regard to planned economies.
