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.

        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.

          More than anything, they are self-serving hypocrites. They rail and rant about communists, socialists, muslims, jews, etc. in public, but come election day, they will vote for their self-interests.

          EDIT: Not all. Some are too far gone.

        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.

          They’re bending over backwards because they foolishly brought him into the group and he has access to the blackmail they obviously require for joining the R cult. And with his narcissism and clear dementia getting worse by the day, he is likely to blurt something out in response to any small slight against him.
