I'm not holding public office, so I don't need or have a plan. Mamdani didn't nationalize anything, because he's not a federal politician, he's the mayor of New York City.
The government runs a version of anything that everyone needs/uses. Grocery, cell phone plans, insurance, etc. etc.
it runs this version as a zero profit model. It charges what it takes to run and continue its existence. Public service style.
and if private companies want to continue the narrative that government is full of bloat, and that they can provide it cheaper and better, let them prove it.
They can compete against a zero profit model where no public tax funds go in, and the government has no incentive to upcharge because no money comes out. If they can do better, great.
but the zero profit model competitor would "keep them honest"
I was referring to the person who said he's not a politician, so he doesnt have to.
He's what's known as a useful idiot. Of course the politicians have a plan. History has shown us what the leaders of far left movements do to the useful idiots once power has been monopolized
Again with the ‘plan’. The last broad right wing plan was trickle down economics and didn’t help workers. You see the word socialism and you start screaming like Joseph McCarthy.
This comment only shows your lack of ability to see the bigger picture. The fact that Republicans are in office now and for another two years is completely irrelevant - The the fact that these ignorant, asinine and just flat-out bad economic policies seem to be gaining so much traction with the populace in a democratic society where the majority can impose its will on the rest, could be catastrophic.

And, rather than changing tack to adjust to new conditions, the abusers are suing to keep the abuse going.
