  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sounds like an example of do as I say not as I do
Honestly, in all fairness, Mamdani had an explanation that actually sounds somewhat reasonable. Apparently the reason for the identification requirements is for payroll.

I would have thought that was obvious - the city government has an obligation to follow federal tax law. If they're hiring paid employees - even temporary ones - they have to report those paychecks to the IRS.

So typical of progressive socialists.
“Employers carry the burden of ensuring everybody who works for them is proven to be a documented person or a US citizen and to vote we need people to present ID to prevent fraud.”

But also:

“This government job posting which pays significantly above minimum wage requires two forms ID something that has been the standard for all jobs since the advent of Social Security? I’M MAD AT THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE REASONS.”

Seriously, y’all don’t even know what you’re mad at, you just want the chance to bleat about who you perceive to be liberal, democrat, non-Christian, an immigrant, or whatever boogeyman Fox News has instructed a minority of Americans to be scared over or mad about.

Right. Looks like requiremts for I9, plus maybe photos for an id card. Maybe silly for this kind of temporary job, but a combination of federal and local requirements. Background checks are generally required for employment by the city, but perhaps they are somehow waived for this Kind of thing. U
The pictures I suspect are used for facial recognition for a criminal background check. I have family that work temporary DOT in a different state and every year he has to furnish two IDs and two pictures; one front facing and one side, though the requirement is waived if one of the two IDs have a picture taken in the last year. The reason is because in his snow removal and sanding, he has to access secure (government as well as private) areas during odd hours. He needs to go through the whole process, even though he’s “just” shoveling snow.
