New York has new laws that directly impact capitalism and freedom. The hardcore Hochul leftists in New York are in every area of our lives.
Congestion Pricing Cash Grab
Most weekday commuters will be charged $9 to drive into Manhattan at or below 60th St. Off-peak hours will be slightly less expensive, and there will be many exemptions for Kathy Hochul’s favored people. This will raise the prices of goods.
With congestion pricing now in effect, it’s worth noting that one of its main advocates, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, testified in support of the initiative while seated in the back of his limousine, chauffeured by one of his two drivers at taxpayer expense.

They don’t want the peasants to have cars; only the elite rich can have cars. At first, the price was $15, but she lowered it so the peasants would think they were getting a discount. She now has free rein to keep increasing it.
NYC receives roughly 900,000 cars per day. Congestion pricing charges $9 per entry. The city could make over $8 million daily, or $240 million monthly. Meanwhile, the migrant crisis costs NYC taxpayers nearly $6 billion per year. Who benefits from this hardcore leftist administration?
NYC decided to turn multiple lanes of every road in Manhattan into little-used bike lanes (relatively speaking), caused a bunch of congestion, and then instead of getting rid of them, decided to price gouge working-class people to make them take the bus.
Astonishing.

Here is some good advice [with vlugarities]:
Gansta allegedly has a way around the congestion pricing tolls in NYC.

The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
They’re trying to force you onto the subway with slashers and arsonists.
Congestion Pricing is intended to drive people into the subway. According to a friend, this was the scene on the E Train at 6:40am this morning at 42nd and 8th Avenue. Clearly, more needs to be done to provide services for those in need — and ensure that all riders are safe and… pic.twitter.com/fmU6peVkkx

The MTA boss said the subways were safe on the same day the Subway Slasher was arrested for the 88th time. Meanwhile, we lose $70 million a year on turnstile jumpers, and people way on the far end of Long Island who never ride the city system have to pay into it.
It’s okay, only peasants get slashed on the subway.
JUST IN: A man has been stabbəd in the NYC Subway, just HOURS after congestion pricing kicked in, which forced MORE riders into the dangerous system
This is just going to get worse, and @GovKathyHochul is doing NOTHING about it.
This comes after a plethora of other Subway… pic.twitter.com/5lQp65mZeJ

Killing Small Business
The minimum wage will increase to $16.50 an hour in New York, Long Island, and Westchester County and $15.50 an hour in the rest of the state. It’s going up to $20 soon.
The state is taking control of businesses in myriad ways, and this is one of them.
One grocery store owner, a Hispanic immigrant, said the wage increase presents challenges to the bottom line. “It includes energy costs, insurance rates, taxes, city taxes, and now another lingering factor is shoplifting.”
Broker fees
The City Council did away with broker fees. Whoever hires the broker must pay the fees rather than the tenant.
Hotel Licenses
The City Council approved the Safe Hotels Act. From now on, every City Hotel must be licensed by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which will be expensive and accomplish nothing.
Law Passed in 2024
Businesses must provide 20 hours of paid time off for any pregnancy-related appointments.
Another law says maternity patients must have access to a doula (an inferior midwife). Still, another law requires Medicaid to cover remote ultrasounds and fetal nonstress tests because taxpayers have endless funds.
Yet another law requires ingredients to be listed on diapers sold in the state.
Gun Laws
The gun industry must now prevent the use of pistol converters. How they do that, we cannot say.
Gun licensers must provide information about storage, child access, and violence protection and meet any specific county or local law.
There are many lawsuits against gun grabbers in New York.
The Opioid Crisis
Instead of closing the borders or arresting gang drug dealers, they will equip public institutions with taxpayer-funded Narcan and other supplies.
Gov. Hochul also signed a bill designating November 26 as Sojourner Truth Day, honoring the gallant abolitionist, while our open borders allow child and female sex trafficking (slavery). Anything representing Sojourner Truth today has been sadly taken over by the radical far-left.
The Highest Taxed State
The cost of living in New York is notoriously high, and this burden is especially apparent in the Empire State on Tax Day.
Unlike tax rates, which vary widely based on an individual’s circumstances, a “tax burden” measures the proportion of total personal income that residents pay toward state and local taxes.
New York is #! of tax-burdened states.
The real estate taxes on Long Island pay for the city and upstate. They are extraordinarily high.
New Yorkers need to get informed and stop listening to the propaganda.
The number of videos of ordinary New Yorkers OUTRAGED over the congestion pricing is simply stunning.
These idiots all had the opportunity to vote POS Kathy Hochul out of office and get someone against this insanity. But they were too busy on TikTok and not staying informed. pic.twitter.com/5bNAIM5szR

We updated this article from January 4th. The congestion pricing needed more space.
