A total of 36 people signed up to shovel snow for $19/hour in New York City…so Mamdani raised it to $30/hr



Communism fails because the COMMUNITY will not pitch in for the collective.

Mamdani reduced budget for snow removal significantly, so he closed the roads and tried to hire people at very low wages for New York City.

Maybe people who voted for this governance could have donated their time if Mamdani just supplied shovels.

This is a very good example of why communism fails.

Yep. Along with rats going through the rotting garbage on the streets.

Yes, spring is a tough time in NY. The rats find warm places to hide in the winter, but they come out in spring.

I know a guy in NY, he has a side gig collecting bottles. He makes $250 with 4 hours work. He has a route, he goes down by Wall Street where all the holiday parties happen. He said sometimes he's found so many empties he needed 5 shopping carts to drag them all uptown to the recycling place. He goes, "After the holidays I don't work till it gets warm. Nothing there but a bunch of rats. I just take the bottles, I leave the food for them". :p

Mamdani is not a very good capitalist.

These workers are being hired through the Department of Sanitation, not a temp agency.

That means they're city workers. They get benefits and a retirement plan.

Los Angeles on the other hand, hires all of its seasonal election workers through an employment agency called Akkodis. That means they're temps, no benefits, no fuss, no muss. In exchange for which, they get $2 more per hour. Works for everyone.

The snow budget was already decided way before Mamdani took office. The mayor doesn't control this, it's controlled by the New York City Charter and is based off a rolling average from the last 5 years.

Close thread.

Wrong

Wrong

and is based off a rolling average from the last 5 years.

Only the formula is contained in the charter. The actual dollar amount is determined by the mayor, who runs the Department of Sanitation. When there's more snow, money gets pulled from somewhere else.

Close thread.

Your boy Mandani just took almost a billion dollars out of the city's rainy day fund. Maybe snow isn't your biggest problem.

I wonder why percentage of the 36 who showed up to work were NOT on Welfare. The working class and the Welfare class are like oil and water.
 
800 a week is nothing to sneeze at.

Course they don't keep you employed full time, it's only a side gig.
/----/ "800 a week is nothing to sneeze at."
True, if you live in Pig Snot, Nebraska, or Bum Fuk Idaho, but in NYC it's poverty wages.
After taxes, your take-home would be about $700 a week. This single room is $290 a week. It doesn't leave much for food, clothing, or savings. Plus, Park Slope is in Brooklyn. Add commute time to Manhattan.

The irony of needing 2 IDs to shovel snow, but no ID to vote is off the charts.

You don't need to ID's to shovel snow. Anyone can shovel snow without ID.

You need the ID to be hired as an employee to comploy with the Federal Law requring completion of the Federal Employment Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9). Completion of the form is mandatory to comply with federal labor law as part of the hiring process.

And then shovel snow.

Mamdani is not smart enough to fund an NGO who will pay cash to illegals to shovel?

😂

Again. Communism does not work.

Mamdani could have just not reduced the snow removal budget by 75% to fund free buses.

WTF are you talking about.

The ID and completion of the Federal I-9 is federal law.

Now you are trying to bash him as an employer for following the law?

BTW - an NGO hiring people to shovel snow would still have to comply with the law so your whole "NGO" makes no sense.

What the **** are you talking about?

Anyone can ******* shovel snow.

I say I9 forms are racist. You know what else is federal law? LEGALLY IMMIGRATING. 😂

HOW DO ILLEGALS GET MONEY TO LIVE AND BENEFITS FROM GOVERNMENT?

You are racist if you support federal law preventing people from working.

The day laborers at Home Depot have I9s completed and verified. 😂
