#4 — It's Not Pride Month, It's Envy Month

Fromuseapen <yourdime@outlook.com>

SubjectIt's Not Pride Month, It's Envy Month
Message-ID<XnsB30B500A849CBX@135.181.20.170>
Pride is as of yet the only one of the Seven Deadly Sins to get a whole 
month dedicated to celebrating it, but the recent election in New York 
City provides a strong case for renaming June, as almost spent as it is, 
not Pride Month, but Envy Month. After all, Zohran Mamdani, who was just 
voted Most Likely to Be the Next Mayor of New York, is a member (like his 
friend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) of the Democratic Socialists of America. 
And that is one of Mamdani’s least radical associations. It looks as if 
socialism, the politics of envy, is about to engulf the nation’s largest 
city.

Mamdani made it clear that he is way beyond Democratic Socialists 
territory four and a half years ago. On Dec. 25, 2020, the Communist Party 
of India in that country’s Puducherry territory, which adds the helping 
clarifying term “Marxist” to its name in parentheses, just in case there 
was any doubt about whether they’re for gulags and the knock on the door 
at four a.m., posted praise on what was then known as Twitter for the 
youthful Marxist mayor of the city of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala: 
“Comrade Arya Rajendran, age 21 new Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. 
She will be the youngest mayor of a major city in the world. Here she 
leads a detachment of Red Volunteers in @CPIMKerala. #CPIM 
#LeftAlternative #Communist.”  

In one of the two accompanying photos, Comrade Rajendran stares 
determinedly ahead while clutching a pole as if it were a rifle, looking 
for all the world like her Marxist comrades in Chinese Communist Party 
propaganda dating from the heady days of the Cultural Revolution, on her 
way to a struggle session to reveal the dangerous ideological deviations 
of the class enemy.  

Mamdani presented this tweet from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) 
Puducherry State with this comment: “them: so what kind of mayor does nyc 
need right now? me:” Then followed the Commies’ tweet. So Mamdani was 
saying that what the City That Never Sleeps really needs is a Communist 
mayor, and the mind reels at the fact that this was not enough of a big 
deal to prevent him from running for mayor as a candidate of the 
Democratic Party. So the Democrats evidently have no problem with open 
Marxists now, and the politics of envy, which not just Mamdani but Bernie 
and AOC and a host of others have made the centerpiece of their program, 
is fast becoming its guiding principle.

Socialism and Communism are, at heart, nothing but envy. Someone works 
harder than I do, or is more talented than I am, or knows all the right 
people. And so someone has more than I do, and I want to even the score. I 
could work harder, and labor in particular to develop the talents I need 
to get ahead in my chosen field, or try to make the acquaintance of the 
people I think I need to know. Yet the harsh facts of life will still 
likely confront me: someone else is always going to have more, do better, 
be more accomplished, be better known. 

I can accept this as a fact of life: all men are created equal in dignity 
and worth, but not equal in abilities or anything else. I can accept this 
and be grateful for what I do have, or I can fall into envy, and begin to 
hate others for excelling where I did not. 

Socialism and Communism take that envy, which used to be widely recognized 
as something to be shunned, as it sucks all the joy out of life, and makes 
it a virtue. A righteous person sees Elon Musk and admires him for his 
industry, his imagination, his daring, and his vision. An envious person 
sees him, even before he got mixed up with Orange Man Bad, and wonders why 
he has so much money. A socialist or a Communist will answer that it’s 
because of inherent and systemic inequities and injustices that have to be 
redressed by forced redistribution of goods, so that everyone will enjoy 
an equal share of the fruits of all of our labors. This is just envy 
dressed up in the clothes of “social justice,” which disguises the fact 
that it’s still just envy.

If he becomes mayor and follows through on his promises of free grocery 
stores and the like, Zohran Mamdani will have to find someone who will pay 
for all the free stuff he is handing out to the envious and lazy (as well 
as, conceivably, a small number of the truly needy). Wealthy New Yorkers, 
rather than be taxed into penury, will simply pull up stakes and leave the 
city. Mamdani, like the East Germans, will have to build a wall around his 
city to keep the producers from fleeing, so they can be duly fleeced by 
the envious. 

A wall will most likely not be built. Instead, New York will become a 
crime-ridden hellhole that those who had means to do so have fled. Envy 
not only kills the soul; it kills societies. And now it has a chance to 
kill New York. Happy Envy Month!

Yeah, the rich fucks won't get those tax breaks and might even have to pay 
a percent or two more in taxes.

Well, since the top 10% pay the majority of taxes.. that would sound about 
right.

You think the morbidly rich operate differently in NY from the rest of 
the country?

People like you mistakenly think that  just because the rich have a lot 
of money that they're not leaches.  I say we'd be better off without the 
parasites.  Tax them and they'll be at least somewhat useful to the 
community.

Of course not-- that's why they'll move!

So, are you claiming to be a New Yorker now, or are just your pockets in New 
York?

No, you're implying that the rich are leaches, I'm not that shallow.

It must be Envy Month.

Your logic nuron is completely broken. Or perhaps you think NY is the

It's your ability to follow a thread  that's been broken for quite a while.

It's the only city discussed in this thread up to this point. You claimed that
the rich wouldn't be picking your pocket if they left NYC. Try to keep up.

"Amazon warehouse workers in California earn an average of $19.82 per 
hour, which is 23% above the national average, according to Indeed. The 
average pay for customer fulfillment and operations roles is over $22 per 
hour, with total compensation, including benefits, reaching more than $29 
per hour."

That's pretty good for box kickers who have most of their work done for 
them by automation anyway.  Warehouse jobs shouldn't be considered career 
employment.  Anybody can do it and there is high turnover.

================
AI Overview
A significant portion of Amazon warehouse workers rely on public 
assistance programs like food stamps and Medicaid. A recent study by the 
Center for Urban Economic Development found that 33% of Amazon warehouse 
employees rely on these programs. This reliance on public assistance is 
despite Amazon raising its minimum wage to $15 per hour in 2018, and 
subsequently to an average of $20.50 per hour, with additional benefits. 

The study also revealed that 53% of workers experienced food insecurity 
and 48% experienced housing insecurity in the previous three months. 
The study's findings indicate that while Amazon has increased wages, many 
workers still struggle to afford basic necessities. This leads to a 
situation where taxpayers are essentially subsidizing Amazon's labor 
costs through public assistance programs. The study also highlights that 
the cost of living, particularly for food and housing, has increased 
significantly, outpacing wage increases for many Amazon employees. 

============

You got that? 53% of Amazon workers experience food insecurity.  33% rely 
on Public Assistance programs - paid by taxpayers.

So.. we need to make sure they pay income tax?

I mean after all, you're on record as saying those that don't pay income tax

If they're employed and are paid for their labor, scooter, they pay income tax.

Ok.. let's shut down every major food chain.. ever major industry.. every 
major employer... every major distributer...

Tell us.. if we did as you suggest, could you even survive the consequences 
of imposing what you are calling for?

No lights. No water. No food. No fuel. No jobs.

Cities would cease to exist....

None of that has anything to do with taxing the rich, scooter. If taxes on the 
rich remain the same or are even raised, it will not "shut down every major food 
chain" [sic] or any of your other bullshit imaginary scenarios, scooter. You're 
just making shit up again, scooter.
