This is one of those we had to check to believe, so we went to the site that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani mentioned, and it's true. New York City, which is still digging out from the last snowstorm, is expected to get hit again starting Sunday night. It is determined to be prepared this time, hiring emergency snow shovelers who will be bused around the city. All you need is two forms of photo ID and your Social Security number.

“You too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8am and 1pm tomorrow with your paperwork.” pic.twitter.com/ZifhOhPbGt
UPDATE: To register to shovel snow in Mamdani’s NYC you must present two forms of ID, plus a social security card 😱 pic.twitter.com/RhAB0inaOu

"They shouldn't make it harder to become an emergency snow shoveler than to vote."
“With your paperwork…”

In order to be labor for Mamdani because he’s incapable of managing snow, you need to provide two forms of ID.
Just incredible stuff. Stupendous even. https://t.co/wkDLwUtsFJ

This is unacceptable, minorities or women won't be able to do it

I guess they aren't expecting any married women to apply.

I was told this was racist and tantamount to Jim Crow laws

We were told it was the equivalent of Nazi Germany … "Show us your papers!"
But what if you can't find your birth certificate or marriage license? This will not stand!

Shoveling snow is way more secure than NY elections.

He means illegals need not apply.

I’m guessing not too many people will have 2 passport size pics, 2 forms of id, AND copies readily available for an ‘emergency’ job application.
But this is just the sort of slave labor that Democrats insist we need illegal immigrants to do.
Pass the Shovel Act in NYC

That's a bit of short notice to get two small photos and copies of your ID. This editor's wife had to get a duplicate birth certificate from New York State so she could get a Real ID to board a plane, and the website said it would take more than six months to arrive.
