 [NY Post] Snowcialism has hit The Big Apple.
Lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes requiring ID’s to vote — but mandates no less than five forms of identification in order to shovel snow.
The New York City Sanitation Department website says that in order to register as an emergency snow shoveler, an applicant must provide two small photos sized 1-1.5 square inches, two original forms of ID plus copies, and their social security card.
Mamdani called on New Yorkers to sign up to become emergency snow shovelers Saturday, telling them to show up to a local sanitation garage with the reams of required paperwork.
"For those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage... with your paperwork which is accessible online," Hizzoner said at a presser Saturday.
Shovelers earn an hourly rate of $19.14 and the pay jumps to $28.71 an hour after the first 40 hours worked in a week, per the sanitation department’s website.
The mayor is a member of the NY-chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which vehemently opposes Voter ID law The SAVE Act, deeming it racist.
“Our candidates for office stand firm against racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act,'” The DSA’s website stated.
Social media users icily mocked Mamdani over the apparent hypocrisy.
“This is Jim SNOW 2.0,” Fox News host Jimmy Failla quipped on X.
“No joke. To register to shovel snow in Mamdani’s NYC….for the impending snowstorm, you need two types of identification. Can’t make this up,” X user Casey Cook posted.
“Mamdani’s snow shovellers must be ‘Eligible to work in the United States,'” an X user posted above a gif of Greta Thunberg mouthing “how dare you.”
A City Hall spokesperson told The Post that the city is required by federal law to collect work authorization and proper documentation in order to pay employees.
“As as with any employer, the City of New York has a legal obligation under federal law to verify work authorization and maintain proper documentation before issuing payment. We are not legally permitted to hand out checks without completing that process,” A Mamdani spokesperson told The Post.
