the establishment are freaking out not because they think he'll fail but because they know he'll be successful
Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel winning economist. There's no such thing as a Nobel Prize In Economics, and economists were upset by this and made their own prize with a complicated name that the media would shorten and muddle with a real Nobel Prize.
Blatantly copied from https://lemmy.world/comment/17961073
came to say this,
Nobel price of economics is BS for bankers and rich finance people to promote their propaganda.
Some would say the Nobel itself is also BS.
Nobel: "dear rich folk, we need to do more kind shot for the peasants. I say, we should do a contest and he who does the goodest deed, gets a prize"
Rich: "But Nobel, what should this prize be?"
Nobel: "Well Gold and money, and also we get to flaunt it on the peasants so they can see how magnanimous we are"
How it probably happened... I dunno, wasn't there.
what actually happened was that alfred nobel was completely devastated by the death and destruction his inventions wrought, and pledged that all of the money from them should go to people who help humanity.
which alno explains why there is no nobel prize in economics :P
They have a quite good track record IMO, some dudes of course.
yhea, but there are different degrees of BS
Got em covered

For such a short editorial, very impactful. The crime thing really stands out to me.
I came of age in the late 80s, and NYC was a hellhole. Visited Manhattan (1991) with a college friend who was a native. There were places he straight wouldn't take us, in and out of Manhattan. Bronx? Hell no, he wouldn't even take a cab through there. You couldn't take a step without stumbling over a homeless person, never seen so many cops in my life.
Took me a long time to realize that my experience of New York City is no longer relevant, and hasn't been for a long, long time. Now consider GenXers like me who never got the memo. How many still consider NYC a liberal experiment gone to hell?
Oh, and centrist Democrats often urge leftier types to rally behind their nominees in general elections. I agree. Anyone claiming that there’s no difference between the parties is a fool. But this deal has to be reciprocal. Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee, and anyone calling themselves a Democrat should support him.
This idea is based on pragmatic concerns, not moral principles: in most elections, either Democrats unite behind one candidate or Republicans win. However, Republicans definitely won't win the NYC mayoral election. The same candidate running now ran last time too and got only 28% of the votes. In this context, I see no reason at all for Democrats to unite, except perhaps that further direct opposition is a waste of effort. Awful candidates like Cuomo and Adams almost certainly can't win by running as third- and fourth-parties.
Then next time they ask me to fall in line behibd thrir guy, ill say im falling in line just as much as them.
As if the backward republican degenerates are capable of anything but the most superficial thought.
