I don't really care about "being right". I enjoy learning, teaching, and debate!

See... that gets back to the entire point of my post. I think we should all care about being right and testing our debates to see who is right. I think the results should matter. And you were right.

As a generality I agree with what you are stating. We do have a real life example going on right now that we can pick apart and debate... but at this point I am siding with the "wrong" side.

Lets look at the populist socialist running for NYC mayor Mamdani. Everything he is purposing has been tried and failed, and all the experts are claiming that its only going to make NYC "worse". But the question becomes "worse" then what? Greatest disparity in income? Too expensive for required workers to live in and travel into (Thinking teachers, garbage men, etc...) So then the wrong idea is to attempt a form of socialism in NYC... but if its already in a death cycle does it hurt to try an idea that is from "left field"? I agree socialism will not work country wide... but in a big city? Does it hurt to try?

Personally 🍿 I cannot wait for it to work and then see them building a wall to keep out the rift raft...

I dont know the right answer, but what is currently going on a big D circle of corruption destroying the city... does it matter if its a different big D corrupt attempt at fixing the city? What is the worst that happens? It spirals faster, or maybe it stops the bleeding? IDK but we are about to find out!
