Yeah, no shit…
The threats to leave were always lies, and they always will be lies.
They’ll draw a line in the sand, insist it’s permanent, then draw a new line and repeat the same lie.
Billionaires fight every battle like it’s the Alamo, and that’s what we need to do to fight them. They don’t show mercy and “work with” poor people when they’re calling the shots, it would be insane to negotiate when they have nothing to negotiate with.
They made their bluff, if they don’t like it they can leave.
Which is why Mamdani should do something like a tax on selling real estate and even just rent if the owner doesn’t live in NYC. Mainly because it would really piss trump off and effect his personal business.
I mean, hell, they can leave and it wouldn’t affect the city one bit, because their wealth tied up in NYC businesses won’t be going anywhere.
Even if it did it would take years or even decades for them to migrate it all. The business would lose a ton of money on the move alone and would have to rehire nearly everyone who can’t work remote. And that’s assuming it’s even possible to do it
