Judging from the way people reacted to biden this will get him no points. I have stated that biden is the best president of my lifetime and people repsond with I must not have had many presidents. He had so many things which if not reversed or taken down were so good for me and most americans. How did people not like that!!!

Any predictions for the New York Post headline about this?
Mamdani's anti-business agenda strikes again. Corporations left scrambling to reach projected earnings.

...since companies have entire departments devote to user retention for the sole purpose of making cancelling as difficult as possible
Can’t wait for the corporate cucks to explain how this just isn’t feasible
Not a corporate cuck, but how can this be applied in just one city? Seems like a law that sounds good but is ultimately unenforceable at a municipal level.
Its more about scale. NY is what the second largest city in north america? They can easily field a larger response than many US states with comparable laws.
If companies can't accurately apply it in just one city, then they should apply it to a wider range that englobes that one city. Not that hard!
It’s enforceable if you want to. The real question is if companies want to be evil enough to just ban NY residents over this, or if they just allow everyone to easily cancel.
One of the biggest, most powerful and wealthy cities on the planet?
That’s the point. Most companies will just comply by broadly implementing it, which helps everyone.
Just like EU laws are only enforced for EU citizens, but impacts the entire world as it's easier to allow everyone the features they built to comply with EU laws
It’s already a thing for California.
And it WAS a thing nationwide thanks to Lina Khan. Then it got reversed thanks to Trump
We badly need this, too. I've been through several layers of run-around with T-Mobile after we switched carriers. They assured us that if we went through the process to port our phone numbers the account would be shut off automatically after the next billing cycle. But we kept getting bills. Tried to call and talk to someone, but they wouldn't let us access the account without a security PIN. Which we never set up. "Sorry, we can't help you." Finally went into the local store and talked to the manager there. It turns out that the last time they "upgraded" our family plan they granted us an additional line for free, which we never used. Since we didn't port that number it was still on the account, and they were still billing us for it even though it was never active. So after 3 months we finally got them to shut it down and close the account.
California already does this with gyms. I love it.
Mandani, policies you can subscribe to
Thanks to mamdani you can also unsubscribe just as easily should you want to.
Already did, just couldn't get them enacted. Still can't since I'm not from NYC.
Nice!
