So here’s the million dollar question: Will Mamdani be able to make New York affordable even for people who work in advertising?

I feel it’s a step in the right direction! He’s not perfect and I’m not expecting him to be.

He better. That’s why we voted for him.

likefunny

He is a total fraud, A socialist who's family are millionaires and will now live in a multi-million dollar mansion and get chauffeured everywhere. Guys like that can afford to tell you lies. He is using the oldest trick in the books. You will get things for free and from people who will gladly give them to you without a care in the world. Wait till your taxes go up. Everything will cost more, not less after this guy. I guarantee it.

No. You’re a fool if you believe a word he said.

Michigan is in the process of rolling out free pre-k. Largest issues are logistics and enrollment process. Not the ability to do it. It’s possible.

I'd rather see him try than continue living in the viciously horrific cycle we're experiencing right now anyway

likefunnysmart

Most people who voted on him don’t have a clue what socialism, communism or sharia law really is.

Most people who voted for him are recent arrivals with a soft landing waiting at their parents’ place in the suburbs.

I’m not a Republican, I can’t even vote here. I’m just from a country where I’ve known actual socialism.

I sincerely hope he will be good to NY. I’m afraid he won’t.

Anything he does will be better than business as usual. The ballot proposals to speed up affordable housing projects all passed, and Mamdani will be the first Mayor who gets to test drive new processes that theoretically cut the red tape and incentivize building projects that aren’t more luxury high rises that no one can reasonably afford. Next year’s race for Governor has Antonio Delgado challenging Hochul from a far more progressive and working class friendly platform. Hochul is savvy enough to see the writing on the wall, if she wants to protect her position she will play ball and help Mamdani accomplish things that need support from Albany.

Yes. He’s explained his policies and how everything would be funded multiple times. If you’re still not aware, it’s just willful ignorance at this point. Still doubting it? Look up Mayor Wu of Boston who just won her reelection UNOPPOSED. Their policy agendas are similar. The Billionaire nepobaby that tried to run against her ended up dropping out because she was too popular and he knew he couldn’t beat her (and his Dad refused to keep funding his losing campaign).

I did the research, the busses are controlled by the state so that was an empty promise.

He will never be able to implement the taxes he would need to be able to provide childcare for the whole city, and if he did, the people and corporations he’s taxing would leave. So there’s really no chance of that ever happening.

Yes

I hope so. He’s at least going to try.

likefunny

No, but I think it’s important to actually try something new cause the status quo in NY is not working, so I support his efforts.

GOP would make it much worse, we basically had GOP lite under Adam’s and it was a disaster. They’re only interested in helping people who don’t need help at all.

Yes, I’ve done my research. I do all my own research. Very very complex research processes and what have you and so on and so forth and the like. No google though. Google isn’t involved at all.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less.

Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.

To the account managers: When performance is down, do you ever feel personally at fault? I know a lot of it has to do with the market, what the client is selling, etc. but I always feel really depressed if account performance is down and I can't find out a way to solve it and it's all my fault.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
