At a press conference in the Bronx, Mamdani listed some of the onerous policies getting the axe. Bodega owners will no longer need a separate license to sell the same products outside the store – like fruit and flowers – as inside. Restaurants will no longer need a “superfluous” frozen dessert permit to sell ice-cream on top of the permit already required to sell food. Barber shops will no longer have to renew their permit every year, instead doing so every three years. Street fair vendor permit fees will be reduced, restaurant inspections will be sped up, and equipment registration fees will be eliminated for a year.
A corresponding executive order signed by Mamdani on Monday will also expand the NYC Best program, assigning each of the city’s 180,000 small businesses – which employ an estimated 1 million people – a case worker to help owners navigate the Big Apple’s sometimes byzantine bureaucracy.
LOL
A democratic socialist doing something the conservatives scream they are all about, deregulation specifically in support of small business.
Conservatives must be going apeshit in their confusion.
They would if they could read
Unironically this.
Conservatives are going to loudly talk shit and quietly vote for him.
Lol, no they won’t. Some will claim to be unhappy with Trump, then will go to the polls and vote straight R.
Donald Trump wasn’t kidding when he said he could kill a man in the middle of 5th Avenue and not face any consequences.
He’s a well documented pedo, and may have even been involved in the murder of an infant he conceived on a child, and Republicans are still bending over backwards to make sure he’s free to trample on the US Constitution.
I do believe you’re right. Conservatives constantly demonstrate their hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty as well as their self serving nature. There’s a real possibility for people publicly railing against mandami to signal in-group but vote for him in the secrecy of the booth to their benefit.
Next goal: register Bodega cats as public servants
Fox news will talk about how he is implementing the turkish shariah if they do that.
It’s Istanbul, not Catstantinople
On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani . . . posted a video on X of himself putting a sheet of paper with the phrase “RED TAPE” into a paper shredder. Other pieces of paper, with phrases like “cumbersome fees and fines” and “a permit you need just to serve ice-cream”, were shredded too. The video, set to Wu Tang Clan’s If Time Is Money
Damn. Okay.
B-b-b-but “lEfTiStS ArE BaD FoR BuSiNeSs”, they said!
rEpUbLiCaNs ArE gReAt FoR sMaLl BuSiNeSsEs!1!1
Says the same people
But this hurts big business, Wall Street and shareholders!
/S
I wish more things would hurt big business.
Big business needs to be dragged out into the street and beaten to death with 2x4s, to make room for little guys and little businesses to pop up and serve their local areas, that they live in, and are connected too, instead of some soulless corporate fuckshit that has all the decision making a thousand miles away in a festing cespit (delaware) that has nothing but other HQs and decision makers around them.
100% And it’s almost always a corpo fuckwit that constantly needs financial help everytime they build, hire, tank the business, and political help with ad-hoc rules and laws. Losers, they probably couldn’t compete with the little guy in a fair fight. Sorry for the rant
Government is way to involved with giving welfare to the wealthy and business class.
When the communist dictatorship hits just right.
