NY DoorDash deliverers, allegedly stiffed on tips, to share $17M settlement Under the agreement ending wage-theft claims, payouts will range from $10 to $14,000,

This is why I tip in cash.

"In December, James' office announced the recovery of $4 million in withheld tips to former Drizly alcohol-delivery workers. In November 2023, the office recovered $328 million for Uber and Lyft drivers to settle wage claims."

In honour of #COP29, your reminder that ride-hailing (even in an EV) is, in lifetime emissions per KM, your most carbon-intensive way to get around.

Yes, they are an important part of the transpo ecosystem. But policies must protect/promote sustainable modes.
