billionaire hedge funder Bill Ackman said he was “gravely concerned” because he believed the leftwing candidate’s policies would trigger an exodus of the wealth “If the city of New York is going socialist, I will definitely close, sell, or move.”

Big fucking rich guys can't handle paying $20k to keep their city above water and create a better future for everyone. Even after they have more than that coming back in fed tax cuts. Good riddance to parasites, go try to do business from Montana or something.

Can’t let the poors realize that government can actually be effective and help them …

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 62 points 2 days ago (2 children)

the amount of fear and anger coming from these people all because they'll earn less money is fucking nauseating. oh no, Mamdani might use your money to help everyone in NYC including you. the horror. you're right.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but also, people at that level do not, strictly speaking, “earn” money. They extract it from the labor of others.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 12 points 2 days ago

very true. i am using "earn" here as a synonym for merely obtaining. it should be read as thieve, as in "they'll thieve less money."

And this is the issue that was worth having a meltdown over. Not any of the kidnapping, not Trump's tariffs and market manipulation, not Adams' corruption or Cuomo's COVID scandals. Their utter silence on everything else makes their current freak out transparently hollow. None of them are worried about NYC, they're worried about the idea of the uberwealthy getting taxed to make life better for everyone else catching on.

CNBC financial news channel anchor Joe Kernen compared New York to Batman’s crime-riddled Gotham. “ They’re taking Wall Streeters and making them walk out onto the ice in the East River, And, and then they fall through. I mean there is a class warfare that’s going on.”

"Raising taxes on people who have more wealth than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes is the same as murder."

I cannot empathize with anyone who says that shit with a straight face. You've either abandoned any principles you may have had to spew propaganda, or are so completely delusional that you actually believe it.

Well, it is a pretty fun idea.

Wall Street grift fears being exposed as such.

Turns out they control both sides of the establishment and are waging a class war surprised–pikachu.jpg

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When will these people understand that there is a class war. It's well underway. It's been underway for hundreds of years. We're just the only side that's been taking casualties. The veneer of civilization is so very thin at this point. It's just a whisper at this point. That's the only thing protecting them. They view people like these Democratic socialists as the threat. But no, this guy is one of their last hopes. He's one of the last things saying maybe we can patch it and keep civilization going. Because without people like him we're going to start dragging you from your houses, hanging you in trees and gutting you. So pick your poison.

This is so billionaires saying that they don't want to pay their fair share. They don't want other residents to pay their fair share either because they could be paying that share to the billionaires instead but if they have to pay that share to the government, who is going to keep these poor billionaires fed?

This is them literally saying "I'm an asshole, I hate everyone that is not me, now vote for my candidate!"

"Hot commie summer salami" sounds like an excellent gay porn.

You really gotta love when a British paper decides it want's to be a booster for the American Fascism train.

Well, when they finally declare open season, guess who will be among the first.. Yeah, the Enablers.

They're just repaying the favor NYT did for germany

Any real regulation at all will ruin those grifters. Get rid of the dark pools and pfof would destroy them. Not having the ability to manipulate the price like they do now and a real market might emerge.

oh yeah, how'd the NYC election turn out?
