The newly-elected mayor of New York City, who assumed office this year, Islam faith follower Zohran Mamdani, took a job at food delivery apps like Uber Eats and DoorDash on the social app, Bluesky. Ridesharingforum.com has the details.
Tipping point, pun intended
Bluesky is a social networking platform owned and managed by the guy formerly with Twitter, Jack Dorsey – yes, he’s the pioneer – until certain individuals noticed some noise on the app, perhaps shaking their interests, perhaps due to the founder’s name, or third, their hard-earned income – so the management got replaced by certain others. Though, merely a few months ago this year, the last time the team checked on Google, Dorsey had been or is handling Bluesky. His name will always be connected with Bluesky, no matter how they change people on the chessboard. Even if they adjust timestamps. Strong Jack!
Here’s the statement of Mamdani on the Bluesky social network: “Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10 percent. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79 percent. In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we’ve put $104 million back in delivery workers’ pockets. This is only the beginning.”
What’s that issue with those food delivery apps? Well, perhaps the delivery workers had been working until 4:00 in the morning, and could be very tired, so the government intervened.
He’s taking a jab at the policies and systems of those food delivery apps in favor of themselves, party of their customers, and then to the delivery drivers, from the perspective of the Mayor.
It has been favorited around 23,000 times, re-tweeted or re-shared 4,800 times, and the comments will drive you mad.
The comments are as follows, people are saying, “If delivery workers are dependent on tips, there’s a much bigger problem with the system,” “Tip in cash, always tip in cash,” and “Yeah, they prefer that. Easier to skirt taxes when it’s cash. According to any server friends I’ve had over the years.”
It seems that the Democrat mayor is getting the approval of the general public, leaving Uber Eats and DoorDash gasping. Are they also patrons of those apps?
The story of Mayor Mamdani
Mamdani has been hailed the hero that is bringing changes to New York City. At a time, when the public sentiment and pulse for Republican government officials and politicians are super-strong from late mid-last year to late-last year, his win at the surprising elections that took place like an emergency conference – believe RSF, ChatGPT confirmed there supposed to be elections to be held during that time, or maybe it was a reaction or response to online sentiments.
During his first 100 days, he had secured $1.2 billion for universal childcare, and fixed 100,000 city potholes, making a figure reminiscent of the Hillary Clinton support during the 2016 United States presidential elections. Who knows what will happen next in this big city of New York!
