New York City officials are looking to hire 1,000 emergency snow shovelers as a major winter storm moves toward the region.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Saturday that the city is preparing for what could be its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade.
“For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” Mamdani said.
”Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 am and 1 pm tomorrow with your paperwork,” he added. Workers will be transported by vans and buses beginning Sunday night to clear bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants,

This just confirms that the left are liars and they are screaming that not everyone can get ID. You can't make this stuff up. I'm so sick and tired of hearing them cry. Requiring ID means they have a very good chance of losing in the elections. Tell McConnell to stop blocking and bring the ID legislation to the floor for a vote.

They will be demanding upwards of $25 per hour, healthcare benefits and union membership. I'm sure Zohran will be out there with his own shovel preaching about the warmth of collectivism.

So they need ID to shovel snow? The 'Rats don't give a single hoot about how two-faced they are. And the Useless Media will back them all the way.

This is funny. Mamdani wins his election by a snow job, now the snow is destroying him. Time and a half for shoveling snow for over 40 hours? How many of those leftist pansies could shovel for over two hours without dropping in their tracks?

They’re predicting 10-14 inches of snow in New York. Snow shovels will be useless. You might as well bring a kitchen spoon. They need plows and snow blowers. Unfortunately their money has all been spent on their DEI team. This guy is an idiot.

Wonder how many of those obese women commies who supported this Islamist communist puke for mayor will volunteer to shovel snow? One? Two? Zero?

1. Since ID is required and black and brown people don't know how to get IDs, this is clearly racist.
2. Since the participants are getting paid, no rules apply for illegals; they show up and get paid just for showing up. Stolen land and all that.
3. This time Mama-dadi is paying; the next time the residents will do it for free and like it. The citizen slaves will have to clear their own neighborhoods and those neighborhoods where the elite live, well, they'll have to clear those too.
4. Disposing your own trash is next. If you want to ride the bus or train, MD will soon be asking for volunteer drivers, mechanics, and cleaners. Since the residents will be saying, "Oh, heck no!" everything will go to pot, and the city will look like your average what Trump said hole. I give it a year.

The Republicans in New York should sue Mamdani for asking for an ID.

So - you need a photo ID to shovel snow, but not to vote…

This is turning into a comedy... sort of like the mayor of a nudist colony imposing a "clothing tax" to increase revenues.

This is the perfect example Republicans can use to sell the SAVE act.
"After all, in NYC the Socialist mayor required 2 forms of ID to be a volunteer to shovel snow".
If they require ID to shovel snow, don't you think elections are even more important?

You really can't make this stuff up. No where else will the hypocrisy be pointed out. You can't make that up either.

OK. I saw this and want to say that when you get employed, and this is about employment paid by the city for snow shovelling, you have to supply a SS number. It has been the practice of employers to ask to see one's SS card. And because the SS card had no picture, it makes sense to ask for separate photo ID to make sure the person presenting the card is the person named on the card. The photos are good for NYC records. So, all seems in order.
THIS SHOULD BE THE PRACTICE FOR REGISTERING TO VOTE. In fact, I have long said that the registration process for voting should be the same as for purchasing a gun. It takes about 15 minutes. The fed checks to see if you are legal, not a felon, are truly a resident of record, and a citizen. You couldn't ask for a better vetting process.

Do you get a government shovel?
If you do, and your government shovel is "stolen" can you get another free government shovel?
How about a third one? How many shovels can you steal and sell before they stop giving you a shovel?
If you provide your own shovel, do you get a replacement if it breaks or is "stolen"?"
