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

    Such horseshit. If you have money for politics, you aren’t paying your people enough!

      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.

      I feel it is never about having the money or not rather that for them it is a moral issue that it’s preferable to spend money on fewer people (political lobbying campaign) rather than the same total amount or even sometimes less on the many.

    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.

      Get organized
