What are we doing to govern effectively?
And actually, everything that Mamdani said right there, I'm encouraged.
If you govern and focus on getting things done, so-called sewer socialism from back in the day,
You know, when you had mayors who were socialists because they were going to go out and work, that's great.
As an academic exercise, will you want to explain to me the history of oppression?
When you say things to me like, well, that person can make that argument because of the power dynamic.
And we operate in this weird intellectual world that's got nothing to do with practical problem solving and logic.
OK, that's where I have a problem.
You know, Michelle Wu up in Boston also.
On the left, governing really well.
There are other folks who haven't governed so well because they got trapped in this sort of ideological thing where the whole focus was on oppressed and oppression as opposed to actually governing well.
So, yes, I am encouraged by what I've seen in the last, what are we now, six, seven months in Mondani's term.
You know, I...
I'm a working class blue collar kid.
I'm in favor of economic populism.
And if socialism can work on that level.
Now, I think you also have to recognize that private industry has to be part of it.
OK, we have to have businesses that grow.
But, yeah, this, you know, I had someone I was up in New York a month or so ago and someone said, you know, the problem is we took the guardrails off capitalism.
And over the course of the last 50 years, that's what we did.
