On Sunday, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he’d given the NYPD permission to issue fines of up to $500 to anyone violating social distancing mandates, the city’s latest attempt to slow the spread of covid-19 in an area devastated by the virus. “I want to just let all New Yorkers know that what we’re trying to do its say: you’ve been warned and warned and warned again,” said the same mayor who, less than a week ago, projected half a million residents would either soon be or are already out of a job. In pre-pandemic America, most families didn’t have $500 to spare. That the city’s brightest idea is to introduce cash penalties during an unemployment crisis seems wildly out of touch.
