1 “Wilson ultimately left Oxford debt-free, which she credits to her parents. However, she also left without a degree, dropping out just six weeks before her graduation.”

That must have been an awkward conversation with Mom and Dad.

3 ...Apparently her time at Oxford didn't do her much good; yesterday she announced that she would not allow grocery stores in Seattle to close.

Now, you and I both know that she can't do that. On the other hand, it looks like she doesn't know she can't do that, and I fully expect she'll try - her and Mandani both, I think.

Just as a cautionary tale, in the early 90s the busing issue in Cleveland had destroyed the school system and sent families fleeing elsewhere. But the Federal judge who ran things wasn't going to allow free will to ruin his plans - he was working on a ruling that would have required families with kids in the CPS to get his permission before moving out of the city. The only thing that stopped that particular horror was his sudden death, and another judge being put in charge of the desegregation plans.

Wilson and Mandami consider themselves duly elected rulers - not mayors, not public servants, and they consider this their divine right; not that they would acknowledge anything of the divine. They will rule as they see fit, and they definitely don't care about little details like the Constitution. And they will decree, with all the vigor and determination of a Czar, that what they do is legal, necessary, and unquestionable.

Yes she can't legally prohibit business closures.

However, Seattle can create a sea of nuisance requirements for businesses, for example, requiring 60 day notice before closures, requiring efforts to recruit buyers, etc. Unfortunately, a fair number of cities have these.

5 Leaving aside their ideological bent, neither of these folks (Mamdani and Wilson) has ever signed the front of a paycheck. Yet they're supposed to have the managerial skills to run two very complex organizations (NYC and Seattle.) Maybe start out with a lemonade stand first.

Leftists are often downwardly mobile children of successful parents, who use leftism to try to force their way into the elite they believe to be their birthright. https://t.co/yHinjm1sPT

11 It looks like Oxford tuition for overseas students was upward of £30,000/year plus living expenses. Cheaper than Harvard, and possibly a better education with similar prestige.
