Andrew Cuomo says companies should hire people with criminal record
as much as i hate cuomo, i agree with him on this one. if ex convicts can't secure a steady income they're far more likely to reoffend. however, i understand your concern over people with violent criminal histories. it's a difficult issue because it can often be hard to distinguish between criminals who offended out of necessity and those who did so due to a bad moral compass. maybe there could be more collaboration between employers and the justice system where those hiring can review the applicant's behavior in prison or other indicators of possible reoffense.

Zohran Mamdani and taxpayer funded grocery stores
i am in full support of this proposal. nyc has become more and more unaffordable over the years and policies staying within the confines of the capitalist model have done nothing to stop this trend. drastic action is needed, and fast, and these government owned grocery stores sound just like what the city needs. of course, i don't live there, so take this with a grain of salt, but if he is elected and this proposal succeeds i have high hopes that it will serve as a model for other cities struggling with rising costs of living.

Pro’s and Con’s of Elon Musk
he's an incompetent nazi. the nazi part we all know, he hailed hitler on live tv for fuck's sake, but a close examination of his social media activity shows that he is rather objectively unintelligent. he has posted about how he prefers c-sections for his children due to the fact that "vaginal birth can decrease the size of the brain" or something along those lines. this shows a total inability to grasp the difference between correlation and causation, something you would not see in someone with the superior intelligence he boasts about. his mannerisms show a lack of intelligence as well. his disastrous attempts at humor show he has average to below average pattern recognition skills and his grasp on language is very poor. i don't believe much in iq, but if i did, i'd say his was average at best. his financial success seems to derive mostly from a combination of luck, wealthy parents, and a complete lack of a moral compass.

Trump is discussing deporting US citizens: “Get them the hell out”
there was a time when i would say that he is just pulling shit out of his ass and to not take such threats seriously. he's definitely pulling shit out of his ass, don't get me wrong, but now even the most unhinged of his dementia-fueled ideas are brought to fruition. our country is in the hands of a deranged madman
