We should in fact be increasing taxes to the wealthiest to attract them apparently
The more accurate headline here would be: there is a Mamdani effect — wealthy home buyers are flocking to NYC.
In the aftermath of much well-heeled panic about a potential mass exodus of New York millionaires and billionaires following the election of Zohran Mamdani, the contrary is already happening, and Manhattan luxury apartment buyers are voting with their wallets.

‘There is no Mamdani effect’: Manhattan luxury home sales surge after mayoral election, undercutting predictions of doom and escape to Florida | Fortune

Lo peor de esta polarización a la que nos tienen sometidos las derechas es, pienso yo, que perdemos la perspectiva. Que nos fijamos en ese detalle al que nos obligan a mirar y perdemos la foto completa.

apologies for bringing a hate site ss here but i wanted to make two points:
1) if you can afford to spend your life actively working to make life better for others instead of making rich people richer, that is the ethical choice
2) this is why the powerful are against UBI.

So many women have been talking, writing and warning people of the dangerous ideologies and biases of tech in Silicon Valley, for decades, and it’s so infuriating that so many men (not OP here) just flat out ignore it and act surprised at the technofascists infecting it now
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

It never ceases to amaze me that every AI implementation on any platform seems to boil down to just two types of user interaction: stealing them, i.e., users are never asked for consent. forcing them to actively resist, i.e, users must actively fight to avoid being exploited.
All deeply unethical.
