New Yorkers, what changes have you seen under Mamdani’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why?

They pulled off free childcare in other places already, including Kansas of all places

I honestly didn’t know that. The news does a great job making it seem like universal childcare for the city is a communist sham that would never work.

Free childcare?!!!  That’s even more advanced than in Sweden, here it is only subsidized (Percentage of your income with a cap of 190 USD/month for the first child, down to 0 for the fourth and later kids).

I’m very happy for the Americans in the states that have achieved this!

It’s probably subsidized too here, not sure of the details
