Probably didn't know that either.
Much better.
In what way does Mandami remind you of a young Fidel Castro?
You know, communism, socialism, it's the easiest sell in politics.
You just tell people that are down on their luck, listen, I have the answer.
I'm going to use government to take more from these people and just give it to you.
And who wouldn't vote for that?
I mean, if you're down on your luck, you know, that sounds like a great deal.
And the only problem is it never works.
It never has worked and it's never going to work.
And that was the exact same promise that a young, charismatic, you know, sort of leader made in Cuba in the 1960s.
And he did effectuate equality.
He effectuated equality of misery, equality of repression, equality of poverty.
Next week?
No.
So I've gone for about 10 minutes here, and... 180 now.
We were ranked the happiest city in America, the healthiest city in America. The formula for success is simple. Keep taxes low, keep people safe, lean into innovation.
So in homeless specifically, we are at an 11-year low. We did our census. We do two census a year. We do one in January, one in the summer. And our January census had us at an 11-year low at 546 homeless, unsheltered homeless in the entire city of Miami. We have a couple thousand sheltered. And I actually raise money on an annual basis as a mayor's ball.
I did my mayor's ball last year, and this year I'll be doing it on May 31st to end homeless. We want to be the first major American city to have zero homeless, and we think we can get there. We call it Functional Zero. Thank you. And frankly, the strategy is not that complicated. Obviously, there's a macroeconomic strategy. We have the lowest unemployment in America.
We have the highest median wage growth in America. I lowered taxes to the lowest level in history, and we've seen 140% growth in nine years. So the economy is robust. We were ranked the happiest city in America, the healthiest city in America. Frankly, if you're happy, you're healthy and you're working, you're probably not homeless.
