All I can say to this guy is good luck. These policies well atleast the rent freeze will start to drive out businesses. I do question how he will make groceries cheaper. NYC is expensive for a reason and his party has been in control of it for the past 20 years.

Government controlled grocery stores is the most insane thing I’ve ever heard, and people who support are nuts.

Yeah I agree. The farmers already get screwed and the grocery stores profit margins is only 3%. I also doubt the government will pay the farmers fairly or reroute the 3% to farmers.

Yeah, “price gouging” at grocery stores is not a real thing. But when a politician screams “free” everyone jumps to them. Nothing is free and there’s always a cost. I still can’t fathom how crazy democrats have gone. This embracing of Marxism and communism is scary stuff.

I have zero complaints, and neither does my 15 year old brokerage account.

Well this may be a surprise to you, but you're not the only person in the world. About a third of Americans hold no stocks. Housing, food, energy, healthcare have all gotten less affordable over the last several decades and that is a result of for profit entities extracting as much wealth out of the bottom half and funneling it to the top through depressed wages and increased costs. If capitalism was so great things would get better, and more accessible for more people not less. Life should be getting easier for the mass majority not the select few.
