Wow.

Totally.

Tourism.

Look at that.

Cut, cut.

You didn't say hello, Akbar.

Cut.

Well, today, we're taxing the rich.

I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pied-à-terre tax, the first in New York's history.

As mayor, I believe everyone has a role to play in contributing to our city.

And some, a little bit more than others.

No mistake about it.

Starbucks has been looking for office space outside of Seattle for months now, likely frustrated by a Seattle mayor that has been appearing at protests outside stores, the labor unrest within Starbucks and its stores, and the higher taxes that have been approved in Washington state and the city of Seattle.

I am told that Starbucks has been actively looking for office space in Bellevue, but has now pivoted to the volunteer state and the lower tax threshold there.

It is a company synonymous with this skyline.

Yes, I remember.

Did you ever think you would make it?

I feel I'm supposed to take sweet victory.

I know this life meant for me.

Adam, what's your point?
