New Yorkers, hold onto your wallets and brace yourselves for financial chaos.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s minions in the Democratic Socialists of America are preparing to radicalize the state Legislature in January, when they take their newly won seats in Albany.
A warning sign of their coming craziness appeared Friday, when Mamdani-endorsed Assembly candidate Brian Romero put up a GoFundMe page with an unusual request.
He begged for handouts to cover his own rent and groceries for the rest of this year, until he’s sworn in to represent East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Astoria and other parts of Queens.
Romero won the Democratic primary in June — and with no Republican opponent, he’s a shoo-in.
But he can’t start collecting his $142,000 salary and $203 per diem until January, and he says he can’t figure out how to support himself in the meantime.
Beggar Boy Brian calls this a “challenging time.”
“I’m trying to find sort of some gigs, but I don’t know how other folks do it,” he said.
“Other folks,” meaning the rest of us who . . . go out and get a job to pay our bills.
He took the page down after The Post started asking questions.

If‘a not enough to be passively Anti- Marxist, one must be violently Anti- Marxist.
Ran out of other people’s money already.
Now seeking more.
So........just how many months after January will this "poor" socialist's wallet begin to swell?
Their master the chinese communist party will give them tons of cash now they swore allegiance to them
Don’t the banks know he has a future income? Not enough?
Shoot. Socialism/Communism is what the Demonrat party has been working towards since the 30’s.
Except the rich, who may not be entirely on board.
The communist morons apparently never heard the story about the goose that laid the golden eggs.
