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.
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.
But this hurts big business, Wall Street and shareholders!

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.
When the communist dictatorship hits just right.
