Ripple Effect
G’Head Vote For The Socialist… Then Watch Your Wallet

The people of New York City went to the polls yesterday, picking the upstart do-gooder Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old immigrant, to be the city’s next mayor.
Mamandi ran as a full-throated socialist with retread policies like freezing rents and government-run grocery stores… because, well, those kinds of policies worked so well in the Soviet Union, to name one historic place to mandate them.
Guess what happened after voters checked the box for Mamdani? They fired up Google to search the term “socialism”:
As Nancy Pelosi once quipped about Obamacare, “We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it.” (Yes, she really did say that.)
This is a fair warning to the people of New York City: when you vote on “the vibe” rather than common sense, bad results are likely.
Mamdani still faces the general election. Historically, Democrats have a significant advantage in the Five Boros. But on occasion, Republicans win – think Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg.
Still, even in the mayoral race, Mamdani was running against the “fascist” Donald Trump.
“Fascism” – another buzzword hyped up nationwide by AOC and Bernie Sanders – is sure to send people to Google search, too.
Our forecast: People and smart money will continue to leave New York. Those on the receiving end, such as Texas, home to the New York Stock Exchange’s latest location, will benefit.
