   Snowcialism has hit The Big Apple.   
      
   Lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes requiring ID’s to vote — but mandates   
   no less than five forms of identification in order to shovel snow.   
      
   The New York City Sanitation Department website says that in order to   
   register as an emergency snow shoveler, an applicant must provide two   
   small photos sized 1-1.5 square inches, two original forms of ID plus   
   copies, and their social security card.   
      
   Mamdani called on New Yorkers to sign up to become emergency snow   
   shovelers Saturday, telling them to show up to a local sanitation garage   
   with the reams of required paperwork.   
      
   “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.   
      
   Shovelers earn an hourly rate of $19.14 and the pay jumps to $28.71 an   
   hour after the first 40 hours worked in a week, per the sanitation   
   department’s website.   
      
   The mayor is a member of the NY-chapter of the Democratic Socialists of   
   America, which vehemently opposes Voter ID law The SAVE Act, deeming it   
   racist.   
      
   “Our candidates for office stand firm against racist voter ID laws and   
   secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act,'” The DSA’s website stated.   
      
   Social media users icily mocked Mamdani over the apparent hypocrisy.

   “This is Jim SNOW 2.0,” Fox News host Jimmy Failla quipped on X.   
      
   “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,” X   
   user Casey Cook posted.   
      
   “Mamdani’s snow shovellers must be ‘Eligible to work in the United   
   States,'” an X user posted above a gif of Greta Thunberg mouthing “how   
   dare you.”   
      
   Gotham can see as much as 24 inches of snow in a massive blizzard set to   
   hit the East Coast on Sunday and Monday.   
      
   Wind gusts can hit as much as 60 miles per hour and one through three   
   inches of snow is set to fall per hour as the storm rages.
