NATO countries have agreed to increase their defense spending to 5% of their economic output, a commitment pushed by President Donald Trump for years.

Sometimes, voters learn from mistakes, which of course means they made a mistake in the first place.

If this dude is elected mayor, he would face "reality" that his glorifed plans will run into the face of hard reality.  He probably will make some moves mostly for show early on and then get bogged down, and he would be a lightning rod for anything bad that happens WRT law and order, cost of rent or groceries, etc.

Then disillusionment sets in.  Perhaps NYC has to oscillate between high sounding mayors who screw up and hard core mayors who fix a few things.

McDonald’s boycott: The ‘economic blackout’ movement wants you to avoid the fast food chain starting today | CNN Business

Schwarz garnered national attention earlier this year when his group called for an “economic boycott” on Walmart, Target and Amazon for various reasons, including the roll-back of diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programs.

In January, McDonald’s ended some of its its specific diversity goals, including requiring its suppliers to commit to certain DEI targets.

The best reason to boycott McDonald's is that it's massively unhealthy.

These economic blackout efforts are rarely impactful at all, just social signaling.

Not around here, they've all been defunded.
Half a billion ain’t enough for Austin? Probably need some of that efficiency I’ve been reading about.

This is the kind of content that big outlets generate when someone insane tries to do something and it generates good traffic to let us laugh at them.

This is from June 28, 2020. In the mayoral debate he said he would not defund the police and work with them. Could be a political statement to lessen some concerns, but it is still less disingenuous than posting an old tweet as his current position.
