When I was 25, I would’ve been obsessed with Zohran Mamdani. At 27, I helped get AOC elected. I made a viral video about her campaign, met her a bunch of times, and was totally bought in. Now I’m 35, and I’ve grown up. The feel-good promises of free college, free food, free housing might sound great, but they don’t work. I get why young people love Zohran. I really do. They’ve been indoctrinated into the belief that capitalism is the problem. They want to fight inequality, make a difference, and vote for the good guy. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. These policies don’t make cities fairer, they make them poorer. The people who are supposed to foot the bill leave, and the rest of us are stuck with higher taxes, more regulations, and less to show for it.

Just shut down the website for my book. This ride is over. Interestingly, it got either rave reviews or silence. I assume the people who said nothing hated it and were too kind to tell me. That's fine. Been writing for decades. Got praise and criticism. Comes with the territory.
