    In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mamdani.

                        They could have just spent that $1.4M improving conditions for their contractors…

                            It wouldn’t have been nearly enough, they ended up owing like 100x that much. From a business standpoint that 1.4M was probably a reasonable amount to risk losing.

                            This is why prices are what they are, so the people profiting off of your stupidity can use your money against you.

                            Stop being stupid.

                                Ah yes, capitalism is an individual failing like a snake that eats its own tail.

                                    if you pay someone else to make your food, you are lazy and rich.

                                          Yeah, a symptom of late stage capitalism that large companies no longer compete by improving their product or service, but by manipulating the regulatory environment and/or competition, through collusion, legal attacks, or acquisition. It’s much less risky of an investment for larger companies post-mass-consolidation.

                                                  Not if you support and vote for your local Mandami. Theyre out there, just needing the right local conditions: create them. Get 3-5 friends and take over your local democratic organization

                                                      lol. If voting made a difference, it would be illegal by now.

                                                                I hear you, fellow pleb, and I was ardently politically active for decades —until, at a protest vs Bush Jr’s use of his appointed judges to put him back in office, I witnessed 4 swat pigs hogtie a 13yr old girl that was walking by the scene, and huck her in the wagon like a sack. (they also shot a senior vet w/ a “less than lethal” round in the crotch, etc. when he tried to tell them it was a “sit in”).

                                                                I try to help wherever and however I can, but I’m pretty spent at this point after all these years of burning hard toward a dream, to be frank. 🥲🙇🏼‍♂️ I give what I can these days, but it’s a fraction of what I used to give with exuberance and glowing hope inside.
