New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani forcefully defended his call for a $30 minimum wage during the final debate of the race Wednesday night, warning that under the status quo, the expensive metropolis is at growing risk of becoming “a museum of where working-class people used to be able to live.”
The inability of many New Yorkers to make a livable wage in the city, Mamdani said, “is pushing them to live in Jersey City, to live in Pennsylvania, to live in Connecticut, because they can’t afford to live in New York City.”
Under Mamdani’s proposal, which would have to be approved by lawmakers, New York City’s wage floor would rise incrementally before reaching $30 an hour by 2030. The minimum wage would then be tied to either cost-of-living increases or worker productivity jumps.
What? Anytime I see Mamdani posted on FB half the comments are saying NYC is gonna starve and communism doesn’t work and rich people will just leave and we need the rich to create jobs etc etc
I specifically said excluding corporate mouthpieces.
Yes. If you surround yourself with chuds you are going to hear chud talking points.
Not sure why you are bringing them up here.
They are bringing them up as a direct response to someone asking about them.
Lol glad to see someone can read a comment chain.
Some people really seem to have trouble with it lmao.
Probably because they are voters.
