It’s fascinating how hard some sectors are fighting to forbid replacement meats or milks to call themselves steak or milk. But those products barely resembling the original name are completely allowed to call themselves chocolate or fruit juice (based on some concentrate and some other stuff).
Oh yeah. No problem …
Not sure it’s a plan as much as an unintended consequence. The man doesn’t really have a track record of deep thinking.
I always find it interesting how many Americans cannot figure out the simple maths. Your gouvernement has about the same bills (infrastructure, education, the government itself, military, etc) than any other modern country. The money is coming from somewhere, whether your taxes, sales taxes or otherwise. Same at the city level, see all the libertarian utopias that have to contract neighboring towns for trash or are short on water. There’s a lot of magical thinking here, when the critical one would be more helpful
Or maybe, include the taxes in the price tag like any other place on earth…

Thanks for this detailed context
To all the commenters here that are piling up on Mamdani without actually doing the minimum amount of research. Doesn’t it seem odd to you that he would advise Ossé not to run and try to convince others not to support him? Instead of reacting with your guts and defeatism, use your head. That’s what I did because it was tickling me.
This source was shared in another comment: https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/11/chi-osse-congress/409723/
In an online vote, roughly 52% of eligible members of NYC-DSA’s Electoral Working Group voted against endorsing Ossé’s congressional campaign. In total, 1,205 DSA members voted, with 626 voting against the endorsement and only 555 voting in favor, with 24 abstaining.
Clearly Ossé’s bid for Jeffreys sit is not that widely supported. Those are NYC-DSA members voting!
Mamdani argued that DSA should focus on achieving the affordability agenda that he and DSA had successfully campaigned on during the mayoral race, instead of focusing on launching a likely doomed primary campaign against the most powerful Democrat in the House.
OK, that makes sense to me.
But some within DSA questioned Ossé’s commitment to socialist organization – which he only recently joined – and were reluctant to back him when he seemed to have no realistic path to victory
I don’t follow NY politics closely so that’s an interesting bit of info.
The whole article is well worth reading rather than commenting on the headline of a newspaper that never quite liked Mamdani to start with.
What I get out of this, Jeffreys needs to go but Ossé is not quite the candidate to unseat him and the focus should be on delivering results for NY rather than running expensive doomed campaigns. That’s a far cry from the defeatism of seeing a treasonous Mamdani. It’s either simple thinking or an agenda to split support before he’s even in the Mayor sit.
Aaaaah you definitely can’t resolve any situation without sprinkling a little bit of violence, that’s how it should be
That was my first thought, those people will be back in the machine when the news dies down.
Between Apple walled garden and the new dev signature thing from Google, those big players sure do like control over what we can do as users.
I agree with you, PWA is the way but Apple has been slow walking integration for years now (see https://brainhub.eu/library/pwa-on-ios)
I mean, the Wikipedia page does say it was sold in 2018. Not sure how it was before but it’s not surprising that it enshittified by now.
Because they are the same thing
I don’t doubt any of these points but it’d be better to bring the receipts:
Por que no los dos? There’s no downside for him, either he can spread his hate there and win or he gets banned and screams and whines and wins
I’m not a specialist of the US healthcare problem but if we believe Marc Cuban, insurance is not the biggest cost problem.

Or you’re using some kind of proxy/vpn from a server that has been identified as malicious and their subnet is banned in some list. Pretty common and more likely.
I think you mean anecdotes my friend
What’s fascinating is the constant worry about trans and women not being able to serve be cause they couldn’t possibly. But somehow, that is fine be cause they’re pretty? Just another example of the inconsistency in their thinking.
