Mamdani is persuading center-left doubters by making clear his goal is to deliver services to New Yorkers under stress, not to build some left-wing utopia. Welcome to the old American tradition of Sewer Socialism.

Testing the repost of a reply -- this is late kudos to Derek Guy for participating in a monster charity-induced menswear fashion thread, together with personalized Q/A advice I will take to heart. Well worth the $50 donation to the Wabash shelter!
OK I'll bite. I have a bright yellow jacket designed by Richard Tyler previously owned by San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. He donated such things incl. Brioni suits to charity, bought many moons ago. As shown at my alter ego "loquitur" pic at X, as part of a Holloween costume--where can it be worn?

Actual thought about exempting tariffs on things with *no domestic* inputs, like seasonal fruits/veggies/flowers grown in Southern Hemisphere. This adds 2 concerns about other intl. supply chains for pharma, electronix, etc. Can't wave a magic wand to instantiate a supply chain within given borders.
