Waiting for the right moment to ask if they’re going to eat the pickle that accompanied their meal…

Under capitalism if you steal from your employer you go to jail but if your employer steals from you then you need to win a class action lawsuit to get back what they stole, and they suffer zero consequences. Capitalism is all about using state power to protect capital by force.
Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry.
We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details.
We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again.

The City of New York asserts this was not a mistake.
“For years, DoorDash failed to count every hour worked by delivery workers,” Mayor Mamdani said. “This was not a rounding error or an accidental mistake.“

My politics will always be that no one, much less a survivor of 9/11, should have $190,000 in medical debt while living in the world’s richest country.
Marcy Borders, otherwise known as the "Dust Lady," accumulated about $190,000 in medical debt battling stomach cancer before passing away on August 24, 2015, at the age of 42.
She couldn't afford vital prescription medications to manage her chemo and nausea, and she believed her cancer was triggered by the toxic smoke she inhaled.
25 years later, we know that her hunch was true.

The entire premise of The Dark Knight was that using cellphones for mass surveillance technology was too evil and dangerous to be allowed to exist, Flock Cameras are tracking law abiding citizens 24/7 despite ZERO crimes being committed.

Shoutout to whoever rode 26+ miles on a @bikeshare e-bike from Columbia Heights to Dulles at 3:28 AM in June.

The capitalists have now created an entire industry around children being shot in schools
Do we understand this?
Schools are adding pepper-spraying drones to help combat active shooters
The plastic, non-lethal aircraft, which can smash windows and ram attackers will be at the ready at certain schools in Colorado, Florida and Georgia

Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

Calling out "Capitalist Mismanagement" is so based. They dont have an answer for this at all.

How is this even remotely controversial?
Colorado Democratic Socialist candidate called 9/11 terror attacks 'inevitable' due to US foreign policy trib.al/b31PcMB

being a republican is just an endless cycle of not understanding how anything works and crying about it
So if a baby is born in this country, he's an automatic citizen? Since when?

Shut them all down, we can live without AI data centers we can’t live without clean water.
AI data centers will use up enough clean water for 1.3 billion people by 2030 according to a United Nations report.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A UNU report projects AI data center *energy* consumption will be equivalent to 2.2 years of energy use by 1.3 billion sub-saharans. Data Centers are projected to use 3.7tril liters of water by 2030, or the anual water needs of 500mil sub-saharans.
