Mamdani is importing Biden’s economic nightmare. It’ll cost you $664 a year
After four years of sabotaging the American economy from Washington, D.C. — and getting beaten in the 2024 elections for their trouble — many of the most progressive stars of the Biden administration have reassembled the band in New York City, now with a new frontman, Zohran Mamdani.
TL;DR
- The Delivery Protection Act (DPA) in New York City aims to require delivery companies like Amazon and FedEx to directly employ "last-mile" drivers.
- Critics claim the DPA will increase costs for businesses, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers (estimated up to $664/year per household) and job losses (up to 10,000 jobs at risk).
- The proposal is seen as benefiting the Teamsters union, which could potentially unionize Amazon drivers if subcontracting is banned.
- The article criticizes the progressive economic policies, comparing them to perceived failures of the Biden administration and noting a decline in New York City's resident population.
