will he turn around and tax hell out of that $19 an hour?

Is there any doubt? It's NYC. If it's income, then it's taxed.

Anybody smart enough to be able to acquire not just one, but 2 forms of ID are smart enough to know that they would be shoveling snow at less than $10/hr after taxes. Which is about the worst side-hustle opportunity I've heard in a while. Add insult to injury when you realize that all those taxes you're paying from shoveling snow are paying the salaries of the city employees whose full-time job with benefits is to already be out there removing snow.

New Yorkers are stupid...

This!!!

Half will file workers comp claims. It will be awesome.

Being a democrat means you never have to say you're sorry.

The people who are already paid to do it are members of The Party. Members of The Party don't have to work. Thats just crazy to expect them to.

I think this is the true appeal of collectivism. Most of them know there needs to be worker drones, but none of them expect to be one of them. And they don't realize the worker drones aren't as dumb as they seem. It never takes long for the "they pretend to pay us so we pretend to work" mentality to kick in.

There are only two types of believers in collectivism: people who are too ignorant to reason with. And the people who think they will get to live a comfortable life off of the labor of others.

Pay: Starts at $19.14 per hour, increasing to $28.71 per hour after 40 hours worked in a week.


So if you are a good enough employee to simply show up to work for the FIRST week you get a 50% raise. Wow.

I wonder how many of these (currently unemployed) people will then claim back injuries, thus permanently disabled and be compensated for life? The quick fix for NYC ends up costing billions.

uhh that's overtime pay at time and half after reaching 40 hrs

Oh, duh. I've never been accused of being super smart.

I'm thinking there won't be a long list of people up there who are interested in working, then working more, to get paid more. Fraud, selling dope or receiving basic handouts seems much easier.

Hopefully we end up getting the (honest) numbers involved in this problem-solving attempt.....so we can get another belly laugh.

I mean we can't have illegal aliens doing that sort of thing. It's reserved for the slave native class to do after stealing their days wages also

Dear New York City:

This is the government you voted for.

Signed,
Free America

Is this what he meant when he said "the warmth of collectivism"?

I am sure NY'ers will band together, joyously shoveling the dirty snow in the cold, making good friends, and striving to make NYC a better place. Yeah, right.

That's snow-ria law for you.

If this test all works out for Mamdami, in the future those who shovel snow will get tokens to take to the 'free' grocery stores for their staple food items. In the Spring they can dig ditches, plant the fields or provide services for the politburo.

Everyone will be happy and well-fed.

Guess who just signed up to shovel snow in nyc 😂😭 pic.twitter.com/Elsn58J6vr
