Lucy Biggers, a 35 year old mother of two, writes for The Free Press that she helped AOC get elected the first time in 2018. She has since grown up. Here is my favorite quote from Biggers' column, concerning AOC and now Mamdani.
I no longer think that giving the government more of our money to run “free programs” for us is the right way to do things. Just spend time at the DMV and tell me if you want a government-run grocery store, as Mamdani is proposing.
Programs offering “free” everything have to be paid for—and nothing is free. The policies they promote will lead to a more centralized government with more power, higher taxes, and a higher cost of living.
Precisely. The only thing "free" is air, and that only because it isn't in limited supply. In Musk's Mars colony, air will have a definite cost as it will have to be "produced" and managed.
