NYC law banning discrimination based on height and weight goes into effect
They’re going to put things on lower shelves so I don’t have to climb up to get them? Yay!!
Yeah, but they'll lock them down so you don't steal them!
[NYPOST] A new city law that bans discriminating against someone because of their height or weight went into effect last week, six months after Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a few of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
first signed the legislation.

The law adds those two categories to the list of characteristics that are protected from housing, job and public discrimination — alongside things like age, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation, according to the New York Times

"All New Yorkers, regardless of their body shape or size, deserve to be protected from discrimination under the law," NYC City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Councilman Shaun Abreu said in a joint statement Sunday.

"Body size discrimination affects millions of people every year, contributing to harmful disparities in medical treatment and outcomes, blocking people from access to opportunities in employment, housing and public accommodations, and deepening existing injustices that people face," the statement added.

"New York City is leading the nation with this groundbreaking anti-discrimination law."

#4 That'll open up police recruitment. Do I need to put a /sarc on that? No, when they're allowed to just stand there and watch citizens and fellow cops be hammered to the ground by perps, it won't make any difference.
