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!

      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.

        The same amount of money in fewer hands creates a choke-point that they can squeeze later.

    They could have just spent that $1.4M improving conditions for their contractors…

      It wouldn’t have been nearly enough, they ended up owing like 100x that much. From a business standpoint that 1.4M was probably a reasonable amount to risk losing.
