DoorDash Spent $1.4M Trying to Stop Mamdani from Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why

What does "this is not a pay wall" mean - if I have to give personal information over, that is a price.

Didn't read - too expensive.

services like door-dash are literally built on a concept of a sucker pays more. you order a meal that costs $10. total charge comes to $25. then delivery worker made $5 on that order. + the delivery worker expects a tip.

which means the company sees both the delivery worker and the person who ordered as suckers. no wonder ride-share companies jumped onto food-delivery.

Even though the press likes to give Mamdani all the credit for these types of things, this started with a law passed under DeBlasio, and most of the investigation was done under Adams.

Josh Johnson has a great bit about Mamdani:

If they were honest about it and said something like "we believe our actions were fair and legal and disagree with this decision" it would at least be ideologically consistent.

> In a public statement about the settlement, DoorDash said, “Simply put, we screwed up. Our mistakes meant some Dashers were underpaid or paid late. While these mistakes weren’t intentional, that doesn’t make them okay.” (DoorDash did not respond to a request for comment on its campaign contributions.)

This is villain shit.

Seems like they spent more on campaigning than they did on the extra pay and fines here though. Who's making these financial calculations?

More evidence Big Tech valuations are driven primarily by worker exploitation. Keep 'em coming.

only $1.4M? DD was not confident in their efforts to stop Mamdani. This is like a couple weeks of work from high priced political consultants in NYC.

I'm not so sure this is a victory lol
