With all of the idiotic promises Mamdani are making about government run grocery stores, let's take a look at the reality of this concept in a city that has been run by liberals for decades, in a county that also leans left.  

In short it was a massive and expensive failure.  Despite millions of taxpayer dollars it seems that theft, other crime, mismanagement, could not overcome the good intentions.    Strangely enough, when it comes to the schemes of the left, this is often the case.  

George  Will is getting flak for saying that the voters of NY deserve exactly what they'll get if Mamdani wins.   I get what he's saying, and I don't disagree with the principle, but I don't think it's good for he US if NYC turns into a shit hole.  

I also have to note that while Mamdani portrays himself as  one of the "oppressed" an "poor", the opposite is actually True.  He grew up wealthy enough to attend private schools and apparently needed 3 weddings.  One of those weddings appears to have been in Uganda, in a private compound surrounded by armed guards.  I guess that whole "defund the police" thing doesn't apply when it's his ass being protected.  

Finally, it's germane to note that he's just one of many DFL politicians who've misled people about their  background.   Pocahontas, AOC, and Ilhan Omar are just a few who've cosplayed as something they are not for votes.  

PS, Yes there are three links to three different sources covering the same story.   Given Dan's arbitrary bitching about only accepting stories from "real news organizations" (which he revers), I felt like more would be better.
