Zohran’s policy penalties: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: The potential outcomes of the insurance policies that Zohran Mamdani plans to introduce if elected mayor.
I’m shocked to study that the people of your metropolis are on a path to electing a fascist as their mayor (“Zon’t like him very much,” Aug. 20).
Zohran Mamdani have to be defeated if New York City is to keep away from financial and political catastrophe.
Calling him a socialist and even a communist gained’t do it. Everywhere, there ought to be photographs of Mamdani emblazoned with the phrases: “Don’t vote for the fascist.”

It has been two months since Mamdani’s main victory and now it’s solely three short months till Election Day.
Despite the hand-wringing over what a Mamdani victory would imply to town and its residents, there was little discuss or strain for one or more of the opposite candidates to drop out of the race.
There has been solely sporadic condemnation of Mamdani’s financial, training, housing, security and immigration insurance policies.
For the Jewish neighborhood, there may be the added dimension of outright hostility towards Israel, and by extension Jews. Very little is being heard from Jewish organizations and that’s significantly pathetic. We will possible reap what we sow.

One of the principle causes that Zohran Mamdani is more in style than his opponents is as a result of of his guarantees to freeze rents, decrease the costs of food and supply free transportation.
None of his opponents make comparable guarantees, however that’s precisely what they need to do to win.
They need to counter socialist guarantees with the reality and promise to deliver rent costs down by decreasing taxes on landlords and builders.
They have to vow to decrease the price of food by lowering taxes on grocery shops.
Finally, they need to hammer home the disastrous penalties of rent freezes and government-run grocery shops.
Unless Mamdani’s opponents begin promising a higher future the way in which he does, Mamdani will win and convey catastrophe to New York.

I’ve a suggestion for everybody in New York City that’s planning to vote for Zohran Mamdani: Go watch “Dr. Zhivago.”
Maybe then will you get a small pattern of what it’s wish to reside below a communist dictatorship.

The Issue: Lee Zeldin’s criticisms of Battery Energy Storage System installations throughout New York.
Fossil fuels trigger particulate air pollution, killing hundreds yearly in New York (“ ‘Green’ Battery Sites Put NY in Danger,” Lee Zeldin, PostOpinon, Aug. 19).
Unfortunately, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is fixated on the hazards of Battery Energy Storage Systems.
Zeldin fails to say battery technology enchancment by enhanced thermal management systems and ignores the Trump administration’s obsession with frantically building knowledge facilities, which ends up in hovering electrical energy costs.
Rather than torpedoing clean power progress, lawmakers ought to mandate sturdy emergency preparedness and neighborhood benefit agreements whereas accelerating our pivot away from climate-wrecking fossil fuels.

Lithium battery storage facilities are opening in residential areas, all within the identify of greening the atmosphere. Can lefty politicians be any more absurd than this?
No one may presumably be dumb enough to consider the reasoning behind this. Once again, Democrats are catering to their massive donors and curiosity teams on the expense of the public and insulting our intelligence as they do it.
