Despite this growth and freelancer satisfaction, critics like Mamdani want to make it harder for Americans to be independent contractors. While they frame their opposition as a matter of “protecting workers,” they really want to put government in the driver’s seat of employment....

It's all about control.

Everything within the state; nothing outside the state. Who's the fascist now eh?!

New York City voters are on the threshold of voting themselves into total tyranny. When idiots can vote, they always vote for idiocy.

You can vote yourself into communist tyranny but you have to shoot your way out of it.

We should only let property owners vote. Those who don’t own anything will always vote to have government steal money from those who DO own something.

Company A will have an affiliate outside of NY that hires gig workers outside of New York. Affiliate provides services to Company A.

NY sees zero payroll or income tax from the affiliate and the gig workers.

It should tell you a lot about the left that they always have this hostility to people that do gig work

People that want to do work they’re trying to stop people from making money and working The left is about control

Exactly. In a digital age with modern telecommunications, there are no boundaries to the work products that can be transmitted into and out of places like New York City.

“”And studies find these entrepreneurs are pleased with their choice to freelance.””

“”In particular, Mamdani wants to increase scrutiny of the contracts””

And with commies like Mamdani... it’s all about control of the masses’ short hairs. He plans to restrict the ability of independent-minded industrious citizens to work and survive without being under ‘his’ control. How very Stalin of him.

Who would have thunk that all the muzzies had to do to take over New Yawk City was knock down the WTC. Weird how easy the new New Yawkers gave up and surrendered the city to the muzzie terrorists.

One of Zohran Mamdani’s most harmful proposals is getting the least attention: his plan to restrict “gig” work – the freelancing that’s so popular across the Big Apple.

Newsom did this in California with Assembly Bill 5. Wiped out tens of thousands of jobs overnight, mine included.

Behold the joys of the government outlawing how you make a living

I wonder how many people are going to vot at all. Historically only about twenty percent of REGISTERED VOTERS have bothered.

People gotta get the word on this Mamdani.
