Snowcialism has officially arrived in the Big Apple, folks. Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is dead set against requiring ID to vote because apparently that's racist or a poll tax or Jim Crow 2.0 or whatever the talking point is this week. But when it comes to signing up to shovel snow for the city during a monster blizzard? Oh, then he wants no less than five forms of identification.
Welcome to peak progressive logic.
The NYC Sanitation Department website lays it out clear as day: to register as an emergency snow shoveler, you need two small photos (1-1.5 square inches), two original forms of ID plus copies, and your Social Security card. That's right, multiple layers of paperwork just to pick up a shovel and earn some extra cash clearing sidewalks and hydrants.
Meanwhile, Gotham is staring down a beast of a blizzard, with up to 24 inches possible across the East Coast Sunday and Monday. Wind gusts could hit 60 mph, and snow might pile up one to three inches per hour. If Mamdani's voters want to help dig out the city, they'll need more ID than it takes to cast a ballot. Classic.

Soon they'll be asking us to provide fingerprints, a DNA sample, and an Xray to prove our right to shovel snow.
Mamdani, ever the helpful socialist cum communist, hit a presser Saturday and urged New Yorkers to step up. "For those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage… with your paperwork which is accessible online," Hizzoner said at a presser Saturday.
The gig pays $19.14 an hour, jumping to $28.71 after the first 40 hours in a week. Not bad for some side hustle, but good luck if you don't have your ID portfolio ready to go.
Of course, this comes from the same guy who's tied to the New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA hates voter ID laws with a passion, calling them out as "racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act.'" Their website proudly declares, "Our candidates for office stand firm against racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act.'"

So what is it called when people must produce 5 forms of ID to shovel snow?
Social media lit up with ice-cold mockery over the glaring hypocrisy. Fox News host Jimmy Failla quipped on X, "This is Jim SNOW 2.0." X user Casey Cook posted, "No joke. To register to shovel snow in Mamdani’s NYC….for the impending snowstorm, you need two types of identification. Can’t make this up."

Another user piled on with a Greta Thunberg gif, captioning it, "Mamdani's snow shovelers must be 'Eligible to work in the United States,'" followed by her famous "how dare you."
A City Hall spokesperson tried to clean it up for The Post, explaining, "As with any employer, the City of New York has a legal obligation under federal law to verify work authorization and maintain proper documentation before issuing payment. We are not legally permitted to hand out checks without completing that process."
Fair enough on the federal I-9 rules, but try telling that to the left when the same logic applies to election integrity. Suddenly it's suppression.
