The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you care about this country, our history, our social norms, our common decency and care for each other, then vote for democracy. Vote blue.

Yeah, so what happened to your state? New York State that is.

“AI Mode Conversation: Is New York State high taxed in America 2026

Is New York State high taxed in America 2026

Yes, New York State is one of the highest-taxed states in America in 2026, frequently ranking at or near the absolute top across multiple fiscal metrics.
According to reports from non-partisan fiscal watchdogs like the Citizens Budget Commission, New York ranks number one in the nation for state and local tax collections per capita, pulling in over $12,000 per resident compared to a national average of $6,000–$8,000. Similarly, major state-by-state comparisons like WalletHub's 2026 Tax Burden Index position New York as having the 2nd highest overall tax burden relative to personal income in the country.”

And your governor supports NYC socialist mayor....heading for commie control..

“The Partnership and Endorsement

• The Original Endorsement: Governor Hochul originally surprised many by endorsing Mamdani—a self-proclaimed democratic socialist—for NYC Mayor in a New York Times guest essay following his June primary victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
• Joint Campaign Stops: In late October 2026, Hochul has heavily campaigned alongside Mayor Mamdani at high-profile stops throughout Brooklyn, including McCarren Park and Greenpoint, to energize younger voters.
• Policy Defenses: Hochul has publicly defended Mayor Mamdani against political attacks, such as dismissing former Mayor Rudy Giuliani's calls for Mamdani to skip the 9/11 anniversary commemoration over his appointment of progressive legal counsel.”
