Rent Control and the Zohran Mamdani Experiment

Todd unpacks the rising fascination with democratic socialism and what it means for everyday Americans as New York City prepares for a Zohran Mamdani administration. From rent freezes and city-run grocery stores to free childcare and a $30 minimum wage push, Todd explains why price controls and top-down planning sound compassionate but break down in the real world. He walks through historical examples—from 1940s rent caps to the 1970s gas lines—to show how shortages, disinvestment, and lower quality follow government mandates. Plus, a quick note on the Senate filibuster chatter and why “there’s no problem too big for government” is a dangerous creed. Conservative, not bitter—tune in and decide for yourself.
