Ep 392 | Central Planning Won't Fix New York | Guest: Larry Sharpe

Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) was swept into office on the promise that "the warmth of collectivism" would make life better for New Yorkers. And after the repeated failures of the status quo, who can blame them for wanting to try something different? However, as libertarian gubernatorial candidate Larry Sharpe points out in his conversation with Matt Kibbe, Mamdani's answers to the very real problems facing New York are all the wrong ones. The kind of socialist central planning Mamdani advocates for has never worked in history, and it will not work now. There are actual solutions that could help restore the Big Apple to its former glory, but they involve empowering individuals, not imposing restrictions — like rent control and government-run grocery stores — from the top down.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heartland-newsfeed-podcast-network--6051130/support.
