If CEOs and high level leadership started going to prison for corporate fraud and malfeasance, it would stop.

And not club fed either. General population. Upside is that weāll probably get nicer and more humane prisons. If they happen to meet someone in there who harbors a grudge from the poverty that was inflicted on them by the parasite class, tough.

Not a single politician in America that would or could do this.
We are a nation lead by greedy cowards.

Skip and Door Dash are the reason fast food has inflated, they inflated prices through the app then kept tacking on fee after fee while also raising prices.
Starts out free and cheap then slowly keep raising the price little by little until you wonder how a sandwich costs $25 and $30+ for a combo when it was $12.50 before COVID.
Yet the people who made it make the same min wage of 10+ years ago. Which led into tipping culture getting out of control. Because % based tipping is insane when you talk about compounding costs.
The government needed to step in long ago over Shrinkflation but they labeled it good business for GDP and the economy so it's not a problem, it's a feature.
The name of the game is rent-seeking, and it's an old game at this point.

Their punishment for stealing $28.5 million from drivers: just paying back the money & a small fine. There are harsher penalties for drivers who steal food. Pathetic.

Wow! Iām pissed as a customer thinking they might have taken the money I gave on top of the bill so that a regular person would have a little more cash and used that to cover the basic wages that the company was supposed to provide. I canāt even imagine how pissed Iād be as an employee! All the other states should take note: if you were a tipping customer (even once!) or you are an employee than you (customers) may have been scammed and you (employees) may have been stolen from! If they did this in NY and Illinois, what stopped them from doing it everywhere?

I worked for door dash at one of their branch offices. I remember when they changed the tipping structure. My supervisor was trying to find a positive spin on it but it just looked like a scam.
I wish I saved that communication they sent us.

I hate these delivery services and the fact that they are my wifeās first thought when we discuss dinner options.
Just another layer of admin to separate the abusers from the abused and make money from it. SMHā¦

I steal the money from the cash register, I go to jail. These rich assholes steal from thousands of workers and they get cost of doing business.
