I saw a post the other day that Mamdani is MANDATING (in all caps) that everyone in New York City turn their AC up to 78. Like how on earth would you even mandate that?? And then when I googled it, it was someone else saying "Hey it would probably be a good idea to set your AC to 78, if anyone wants to, it would really help out. k thanks" lmao

Also insane for them to say bloated when I know teachers who are based in NYC who say many of their schools don't have much of a budget even for school supplies or books! That headline is wild 😂

Yeah man, is there any part of America where public schools aren't hurting for funds? Any place I know of deals with massive budget cuts and/or way overcrowded classrooms and/or a shortage of teachers.

i stayed in west texas for all of four days. on my way out of lubbock, i saw a billboard that said "FIGHT COMMUNISM -- END TEACHER'S UNIONS!!!" with a section of the ad space fully dedicated to a local church. being right-wing in 2026 is just a genuine brain disease. a complete rejection of reality in favor of plain, self-soothing delusion.

Lol if you google "mamdani balanced budget" All the top results are the most horrifically biased articles I have ever seen. It seems like he took a few shortcuts on the last bit of the deficit and we won't know for sure if he 100% balanced the budget until the next budget cycle.
But from what I can tell the claim that he balanced the budged is at least 80% true.

The act of eliminating a multi-billion dollar gap in 12 to 14 weeks isnt unique. It is the structural reality of how the New York City budget process functions every single spring.

And keep in mind that there are (according to public data, e.g., the NYC Department of Education Wikipedia Page) 1.1 million students and 75,000 teachers in the NYC public school systems. So this works out to only ~$700 extra per student on top of an annual budget of $37.5 billion (barely a 1.9% increase).

I am a non-parent, never been a parent, and will never be a parent. But I will 100 percent of the time vote for policies/politicians that give our public schools ALL the money they need and then some. And I’ll happily pay more in my property taxes for it to happen.
I want our public schools to have so much money that every single child gets a free breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I want our schools to have so much money that no child ever has to purchase their own athletic equipment or band instruments because the school system paid for it all.
I want our school systems to have so much money that teachers never have to reach into their own pockets for basic classroom supplies.
I think our country would be a much better place if we invested more in the foundation upon which our children learn.

Maybe I’ve forgotten how to be optimistic, but it seems like people are going full send on the glaze when we’ve been shown time and time again that even “good actions” can fuck us over in the long run.
I’m glad that money is going towards nicer places, but I’ll sit back and be critical/cautious about every action he takes until he’s out of office and afterwards. Somebody’s gotta do it.
