In this post–Election Week episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane dive into New York City's new mayor, former rapper Zohran Mamdani, and what his win could mean for taxes, wages, and city life. AJ shares her marathon weekend adventures and Halloween highlights, while Shane talks about biking through Manhattan gridlock, watching Tame Impala, and catching the World Series.

They unpack NASCAR champ Kyle Busch's $8.5 million insurance lawsuit, OpenAI's new public benefit status, and the latest push for a global wealth tax. The conversation covers billionaire carveouts, the "Teach for America for failed politicians" idea, and closes with thoughts on fairness, community, and the economics of a changing New York.
