Typical Nicole, she takes the caricature of labels at face value, she has no interest in assessing Mamdani's state assembly tenure, and she lumps someone with genuine philosophy into the 'populist' crowd along with the Manhattan Institute's favorite president.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Zohran Mamdani “seems to think the historic nature of his victory allows him to steamroll state government,” Nicole Gelinas writes. “But he will face political and legal barriers if he tries to treat Albany as a mere inconvenience.”

Would collective bargaining agreements with cost of living indexed wage minimums, and legalization and formalization of undocumented workers not precisely address this issue?
i'll be charitable here: the creation of a bifurcated labor force is a primary way of trying to solve the illiberal's dilemma. the herrenvolk get high labor demand while living in a subaltern world of low labor demand--

Obviously, we want more immigrants, it’s one of our founding principals, but we also don’t want things to happen that will set support for more immigration back in the long term

investments in solar power lower costs for consumers so much that in some places they're literally giving away free energy during the day, but sure.
it won’t feel good to say but it is crucial to actually admit this:
democrats’ pivot to affordability is already seeing them tear up climate policies
and any effort to lower costs for consumers will conflict with investments in renewables, unless even more money is poured into them

It didn't get talked about by seemingly anyone but Mamdani himself but his public procurement plan for heat pumps, induction ranges etc is actually a capital-S Socialist policy, one of the few the city can execute. Paired with building code reform, this could be revolutionary

State-level Democrats have embraced affordability as a new theory of how to win.
That approach is reshaping some of their climate policies. Across the country, Dems are slow-walking GHG mandates or accepting more fossil supply to help stabilize energy prices. heatmap.news/politics/dem...

I'm sorry but digitalization is so much worse in the US, the trains do not function better in the US, the traffic is so much worse. For all of its faults, and the UK has many, it is much closer to the NL when it comes to access to and effective utilization of basic services. He's describing the US.
This is a funny remark from one of America's premier pundits because the UK does, in fact, have several examples of things that do (or at least c/sh/would) function impressively well, and when they fail in their mission it's often attributable to Americanisation, i.e. private enterprise.
