Thank you
It reminds me of the word WOKE (created around the Neptune Leo-Virgo era) which also resurfaced during Neptune Pisces era, but with a different meaning than the original
Neptune with its illusions creating delusion

What does Neptune Aries say for the MAGA ideology re-popularized in 2016 when Neptune was in Pisces?
Will this ideology win the ideological wars over the others created during the Neptune Pisces era?
I’m not political, just curious about Neptunian ideologies & words.

Yep! It’s already dead
Gigs are for those who do not need a boss and “fair pay”. They can manage this themselves and charisma goes along way in the tipping world!
When the fair pay people join the party instead of getting that W2, things get weird!

These apps should only be for the hustlers!
Those who get what being an independent contractor means
If you need a boss and fair pay, go get a W2 job!

It used to be very profitable before desperation kicked in.
They opened the apps to a customer base that would never “tip”
And drivers are so desperate they will work for $2-$5.
The apps profit from the confusion and ignorance.
Also it’s not a job, it’s a hustle

Exactly!
Desperate people will use their personal resources and time to complete a task for a stranger for $2-$5.
That’s what killed the system, imo.
No one is understanding the system and DD profits from the confusion!

Your fees pay for the operation of DD, not the driver.
The ONLY way a driver profits from completing a task with their personal resources —is after the person requesting the service pays for it (tip)
Independent contractors are responsible for their own business operations.

If drivers keep ‘hoping’ for tips, instead of insisting on it—-DD gets free labor AND resources.
They profit, the driver keeps trying.
If the customer believes they can receive service without paying for it (tipping) they continue to use the app—DD profits

Tipping is not bonus income.
It is earned income for performing a REQUESTED, but nonessential task.
Drivers are not employees.
They are independent contractors using their personal resources in exchange for a tip, or payment for services requested.

DD drivers are not employees.
They are independent contractors.
DD does not “pay” the drivers. They offer an incentive to complete the task.
The “pay” IS the tip.
The tip is not optional, the amount is optional.
They refuse to educate because they profit off the confusion.

Thank you for the suggestion.
After a quick search, it seems Blumenbach was an anthropologist.
A social scientist.

Race is categorization based on physical characteristics—skin color. For the purpose of studying group dynamics, yet still subjective.
Ancestry is categorized under ethnicity or heritage, not social groups like race.
Genetics is a branch of biology, not a social science.

I definitely believe you.
Just suspect placement.
The entire setup is scammy, tbh. If DD scams the drivers, the drivers scam DD back.
It’s really is unfortunate that DD customers get caught up in all the scamming.
Unless they don’t tip—then they are scamming too.
Not you.

Black is a term used to describe skin color, true. The use of skin color to categorize social group’s definitely disempowers.
Since it’s so socially engrained, many people have celebrated their racial experience as heritage. It seems heritage is what is being discussed.

Social groups refer memberships based on power dynamics (race, gender, socioeconomics)
Cultural groups refer to membership based on traditions, language, art, religion, etc
