"'Theyβre spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.
There will be 12 gazillion columns this week but the real takeaway is that the strategy of people with all the money + power telling everyone to shut up & wait in line isnβt delivering as it once did because they got so drunk on their own hype they starting using cruelty and violence for the lulz /1
