At a brewery on São Miguel that might as well be in Charlotte, NC, complete with the cornhole setup & medieval weapons on the wall. This is not a complaint.

After 2 years of passing this thing on my way to the train, I'm starting to suspect the fading sticker on the sidewalk might've been lying this whole time.
A tattered round black sticker on the sidewalk with white text that reads:
"A BETTER METAVERSE IS COMING 
SCAN TO PREVIEW & CLAIM A FREE GIFT"
A QR code is beneath the text with the link www.meetkai.com underneath the QR code.

So "tax the fuck out of the rich" turns out to be a winning message.
Pie chart showing increased share of taxes that would be paid by to 1% in AGI under Mamdani's proposed tax increase. Current split is 60% paid by the bottom 99% and 40% by top 1%, under Mamdani's increase it would reverse to 39% paid by the bottom 99% and 61% by top 1%.
