Tariff rebates are a temporary Band-Aid on a self-inflicted wound—but Mamdani’s Soviet grocery store scheme is a full amputation. His city-run markets aren’t about feeding New Yorkers—they’re about replacing bodegas with activist-run monopolies that’ll make Venezuela’s empty shelves look stocked.

Mamdani’s DSA playbook? Seize control, bankrupt small businesses, then blame capitalism when the shelves go bare. Trump’s rebates at least return stolen cash—Mamdani’s “solutions” just burn your wallet and hand the ashes to his nonprofit pals.

NYC can’t afford his Marxist cosplay.
