Big business is marking their presence in the democratic citywide election process now more than ever, from Wall Street mayoral candidate Ray McGuire to companies getting out the call to vote.

Plenty of companies have responded to the growing civic needs of their employees and unions to provide “nonpartisan” initiatives and information for their workers, that includes pushes to register for a party affiliation before the deadline on February 14, reported the New York Times.

...in the past, particularly for public and consumer-facing companies, there’s been a great reticence to take positions that appear political. A direction that abruptly shifted last year when companies boasted their financial and public support of the Black Lives Matter on social media and other platforms after George Floyd’s brutal death in May".

Many businesses and real estate to grab on the cheap. Money to be made in long run will be historic.

Don't know as of yet. We shall see. But they're in it (not that they were ever out of it) but now it's just become more public (brazen). The upcoming mayoral race will be interesting. And I'm definitely going to vote (having sat out the last time). Just don't know who yet.
