What the heck is a “deputy mayor for economic justice” tasked with doing?
Equalizing New Yorkers’ incomes? Redistributing their wealth?
Ensuring that “some animals are more equal than others,” perhaps?
OK, fine: After Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani named Julie Su to the job on Friday, he explained that she’ll oversee agencies that focus on “New Yorkers everyday economic realities,” including the Commission on Human Rights, the Taxi and Limousine Commission and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protections.
But his transition staff made it sound like a lot more than that: Deputy Mayor Su is to “help usher in an era that protects working New Yorkers and consumers, delivering on an agenda that makes the city more affordable and ensures that those who work and toil here have the opportunity to live here as well.”
“Usher in” a new “era” to ensure that those who “toil” can afford to live in the city — and we’re pretty sure that doesn’t mean Far Rockaway, Brownsville or Belmont — suggests an extremely aggressive brief for a deputy.
Notably, Su has a big fan in Sen. Bernie Sanders, the socialist who only joins the Democratic Party when seeking its presidential nomination — while other, actual Democrats blocked her from being confirmed as federal labor secretary.
“There’s a reason Julie Su’s nomination failed to earn support from Democrats or Republicans,” solidly conservative Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) told The Post, noting that at the Labor Department “she prioritized partisan activism over American workers and their families”; that, he snarks, makes her “a perfect fit for the Mamdani administration.”

Millions went to prison because of it. I remember it well.
Good Luck NYC....you’re gonna need it.
This psycho muzzie numbnut isn’t even in office yet. Womyn voted for this. Enjoy the rape and murder.
She will be called Deputy Mayor because the title People’s Commissar is already taken.
I think her greatest claim to fame is when she co to used to serve as Acting Labor Secretary, even after the Senate rejected her and the time to be “acting” expired.
>> solidly conservative Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) told The Post
ROFL!!! Cassidy a “solid conservative”? LMAO!
However, next to Mamdani and Julie Su, even Trotsky looks “solid conservative”. What the HELL is wrong with New York?
>> Womyn voted for this. Enjoy the rape and murder.
Yup, Mamdani’s election was AWFUL. In every sense of the word/acronym.
New Yorkers voted for a socialist republic, now enjoy it. Fresh out of give a crap.
DEI Julie Su’s lost 40 billion or more in fraud in CA. Dwarfs tampon Tim’s 9 billion in MN. The amount of waste, fraud and abuse that is being exposed on Trump’s watch is staggering.
The “World’s Financial Capital” will now be run by a Socialist. You can’t make this stuff up!
If foreign agents pour the money into NYC, it could look like the place to be.
I this point on the night of Mamdani’s election.
Those who spent $Millions to get Mamdani elected, will spend 10s of $$$Million$$$ to ensure NYC prospers n socialism works.
It IS a possibility.
