I’m kind of confused on why people are in this thread pushing back against him?
Outside of $30 min wage. I think everything he’s saying is doable
Has anyone even looked into his platform? None of it sounds crazy.
Freezing rent…
A majority of New Yorkers are tenants, and more than two million of them live in rent stabilized apartments.
As Mayor, Zohran will immediately freeze the rent for all stabilized tenants, and use every available resource to build the housing New Yorkers need and bring down the rent. The number one reason working families are leaving our city is the housing crisis. The Mayor has the power to change that.
Free Childcare
Zohran will implement free childcare for every New Yorker aged 6 weeks to 5 years, ensuring high quality programming for allfamilies. And he will bring up wages for childcare workers – a quarter of whom currently live in poverty – to be at parity with public school teachers. It will foster early childhood development, save parents money and keep our families in the city they call home.
City Owned Grocery Stores
As Mayor, Zohran will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit. Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing. With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real “public option.”
Taxes
Zohran has a plan to bring down the cost-of-living through city-owned grocery stores, universal childcare, and other bold proposals, and he knows exactly how to pay for it, too. Zohran’s revenue plan will raise the corporate tax rate to match New Jersey’s 11.5%, bringing in $5 billion. And he will tax the wealthiest 1% of New Yorkers—those earning above $1 million annually—a flat 2% tax (right now city income tax rates are essentially the same whether you make $50,000 or $50 million). Zohran will also implement common-sense procurement reform, end senseless no-bid contracts, hire more tax auditors, and crack down on fine collection from corrupt landlords to raise an additional $1 billion.
I’m trying to figure out what about this sounds crazy?

Keep in mind they're old media consumers too. They're getting their news from TV, radio, and rumors from people they know in public.The cognitive dissonance around economic policy which fuels the obedience to establishment dem candidates by older blacks is truly incredible.… the literal people that have been watching you get priced out of your existence still somehow have a stranglehold over your voting allegiancemy granny be on this same shyt.…all I can do is smh
The establishment democrats and Republicans have a chokehold on old media.

Zohran is proposing increasing the budget. Cuomo was proposing offsetting new spending, with new cuts
what are you, retarded
what spending cuts is zohran proposing, that remotely equate to all the "free shyt" he wants to give out?

By cutting other programs. Lowkey that platform is the same platform Adams had. It was just going to be the same shyt we got now.
