Federal ID to shovel snow? Unbelievable - Obstacles to Good Samaritans, not criminals

Why did NYC require ID for snow shoveling? What to know, (link, excerpts below)

New York City just got pounded by almost 20" of heavy, wet snow, which is now blowing around. Not everyone is in shape to shovel and some are willing to help. Mayor Mamdani is requiring multiple forms of ID.

Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, also appealed to any city residents looking to lend a helping hand and earn a few extra dollars during the snowstorm by asking for emergency snow shovelers. Depending on how many hours you work, you could make over $28 per hour. Some Republican officials criticized the request's requirement that you need to provide your Social Security card and two original forms of ID, plus copies of them.

"Mamdani opposes requiring ID’s to vote — but mandates no less than 5 forms of ID in order to shovel snow," Blakeman said in a Feb. 22 Facebook post. "It’s insane!"
Republican Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, who represents parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island, also questioned the requirements.
"First you needed a vaccine card to enter a restaurant. Now you need multiple IDs to shovel snow. But somehow requiring an ID to vote is “racist,” Malliotakis said in an X post on Feb. 22.

This says if all about what makes NYC dysfunctional. They throw up hurdles to helpers, not people that want to destroy New York.

Those that are on Welfare and are physically capable to shovel snow,
should be required to shovel snow. They've supposedly already been vetted.

Why require ID?

Because the individuals are being hired for employment as they woll be paid.

Federal law requires that when an employee is hired they, and the employer, are required by law to complete an I-9 Federal Verification For Employment Eligibility.

It’s not a choice.

But Mamdani, like all leftists, believes women and minorities are too stupid to obtain photo IDs. So are these jobs only available to white men?

That seems racist.

Fake news. The source is a nickname from Twitter.

That's the beauty of the welfare state. We've basically got a legion of slaves at our disposal, should there be a need.
