The new mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is having a pretty rough go of it.

A series of scandals have erupted throughout the city over improper waste management, animal waste,

all over the place, and now a threat of attacks on the middle class and the working class

from the mouth of Zoran Mamdani himself. What he's saying is that if they

don't get their wealth tax, if they don't tax the rich, they're going to have to tax the poor.

The only problem is neither of these plans actually make sense. And it's resulted in an economic

and political crisis in New York City, for which everybody is making

fun of Zoran Mamdani. And I'm going to do something that may surprise many of you and actually

defend Zoran Mamdani right now. By all means, I am going to criticize his plan on the wealth tax.

We're going to go through these numbers and talk about what's actually happening as we are seeing a mass exodus from New York City already.

It's been ongoing.

It is getting worse.

But I want to make sure this is absolutely clear as everybody's putting the blame on him.

He just got into office.

Guys, I disagree with his worldview.

I disagree with his proposed policies. I think he's wrong

about all of this. But the dude just got into office. That being said, I can cut him some slack on

these policy proposals that he's rushing to come up with. But something did change. seemingly as soon as he got in,

something did change. Now, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's that city workers don't like

him, and so they're kind of half-ass in it. I think that something was being done by the previous

mayors that they did not adequately inform Zahmahmdani about.

And now we are seeing a bubbling up of a serious crisis.
