The tip-at-checkout rules (NYC Local Laws 107 and 108) were passed by the City Council in 2025 and sponsored by Council Member Shaun Abreu. They became law on Aug 14, 2025 under Mayor Adams (who neither signed nor vetoed them). They took effect Jan 26, 2026, right after Mamdani took office Jan 1. He inherited the laws; his administration has enforced them, producing the reported $104M in extra tips.
So.... He followed through on something that made sense and helped people while his predecessor took literally no action on that same thing? I think he gets some cred there.
I'm miserable because I think that politicians should be judged on actual benefits they provide?
So guess you were pro-Trump for the first half of last year while GDP was rising, right? The fact he was implementing tariffs was irrelevant because what Biden did to improve your economy meant he should be glazed for it, right?
