Somebody ever ask him fi dutty wine mek dem see yet?

Some math regarding the pied-a-terre tax. If I own a $5 million condo, the tax is 6.5% - every year, forever. That's $325,000. Prospective buyers understand this, and they 're not stupid. They price it in. They calculate, or "capitalize," the obligations, determining the present value of all that debt. The numbers are devastating. Using a discount rate (or "cap rate") of 6% means you knock $5.4 million off the value of the property... ...meaning you wouldn't even take the property if it was given to you for free... ...meaning the value of the condo has been reduced to less than zero from $5 million. You've been Zohran'd. So, a fair question to ask is, "If my $5 million condo is now worth zero, am I now exempt from the tax? And does my exemption drive the value back to $5 million, so now I'm getting taxed again?" Does anyone understand how insane this is?

Grieve me would watching this, sorry dem yute deh no have couple madness friends fi fix dem pussy deh business.

Mi hope the Dwg father a one man weh have serious links fi deal wid unuh

Zohran Mamdani wants black people and women to starve to death.

HEY VACCINATED PPL: how yall doing?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A few very obvious points on Mamdani's grocery stores: 1. The supply of the discounted groceries will run out on day 1, and every day there is a new shipment. This is basic econ 101. 2. This means only the people who are lucky enough or fast enough will get these discounted groceries. Expect to see the city ration these groceries in some other way. By income, or neighborhood or some lottery system. 3. Grocery margins are notoriously low as it is (like 2-3%). These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30% below market, or they'll sell so little it will be insignificant. 4. There is absolutely zero chance that government bureaucrats can source these products from global supply chains as efficiently as Walmart, or Meier, or Whole Foods, whose survival depends on it. Their costs will be far higher (unless they use government bludgeon to force distributors to sell to them at lower prices). 5. It's actually an incredible triumph of capitalism that you can get a pound of bananas that were shipped to your neighborhood from Equador for like 60 cents, or fresh grapes from Chile in the dead of Midwestern winter for 2 bucks a pound, and Norwegian salmon to cook in Italian olive oil for $15 -20 bucks or so. Truly stop and think about that for a minute. It's a miracle. The median full time hourly wage is around $31 dollars. For ONE HOUR of work, the median working American can get all of the groceries listed below, which is about 22,000 calories. They can feed themselves for 10 days (or a family of 4 for around 2 and a half days), with an hour of labor. This is the stupidest industry for socialists to go after.

Stevens met with community leader Jai Singletary, who told her he already voted for Abdul El-Sayed. Singletary showed photos of the youth soccer team he coaches before telling Stevens lawmakers shouldn’t be supporting Israel’s military that has killed children in Palestine.

I am in Special Housing Unit (SHU). My water faucet is broken. I am not allowed bottles of water in SHU. I have nothing clean to drink. My only water comes from the shower, warm and from a brown and filthy faucet. It has given me persistent stomach problems. The water I am drinking is not clean, I am an American. Innocent until proven guilty. But I am forced to drink poisoned water. Where are my rights?

Two men, one visibly Jewish, were attacked on the Upper West Side of NYC. In a city with the highest number of antisemitic assaults last year, the optics are clear. Jewish New Yorkers deserve leaders who confront antisemitism with moral clarity, not those who downplay the fears of Jews here at home. But here we are. We push back politely, we protest publicly, and yet even as the assaults continue Mayor Mamdani persists in demonizing the world’s only Jewish state practically putting a target on our backs. A stabbing is sickening and shameful regardless of the motivation, but if the motivation was antisemitism then it was entirely predictable. The Mayor is responsible for this city and for keeping its residents safe. It's time he stopped being an activist and started doing his job or step down and let someone else take over. It’s the least Jewish New Yorkers, and all New Yorkers, deserve.
