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.
But this hurts big business, Wall Street and shareholders!
/S
I wish more things would hurt big business.
Big business needs to be dragged out into the street and beaten to death with 2x4s, to make room for little guys and little businesses to pop up and serve their local areas, that they live in, and are connected too, instead of some soulless corporate fuckshit that has all the decision making a thousand miles away in a festing cespit (delaware) that has nothing but other HQs and decision makers around them.
100% And it’s almost always a corpo fuckwit that constantly needs financial help everytime they build, hire, tank the business, and political help with ad-hoc rules and laws. Losers, they probably couldn’t compete with the little guy in a fair fight. Sorry for the rant
Government is way to involved with giving welfare to the wealthy and business class.
Won’t someone please think of the poor corporations and the shareholders! Wall Street is crying.
“The poor get all the breaks!”
