Well, sorry.
I mean, that's again, that's you guys handing them that issue.
The fact is that the biggest opposition right now to the Mamdani guys, all these guys who are freaking out, they're all on record supporting the genocide and supporting this war of aggression.
And there is a thing here that's happening
where, and look, I mean, I guess this is one of the lessons of the war in Iran in general right now.
One of the things I've been thinking about, you know, it's like I kind of been saying this whole time that this war in Iran is running up against reality and that reality was going to break this situation.
And then you see it happen and you're like, oh yeah, okay.
You can't, none of us are God.
You can't break God.
You can't break reality.
You want to sit here and have this, you want to be tied to the most unpopular war in modern history.
Well, then the people opposing that are going to have a lot to work with.
There's, you know, all of this stuff, right?
all of the kind of economic prescriptions that the answer to unaffordability is that the government should be doing more, the government should be having, whether it's free buses and free government supermarkets or whatever the stuff that Mamdani was proposing, or if it's the broader universal healthcare, increased minimum wage, all of these proposals, all of them just make us poorer.
All it does is make people poor.
It's all nonsense government interventions, attempts at price controls.
It's all using coercive measures to throw off the pricing mechanism.
