@PathfinderAstro Thank you
It reminds me of the word WOKE (created around the Neptune Leo-Virgo era) which also resurfaced during Neptune Pisces era, but with a different meaning than the original
Neptune with its illusions creating delusion
@Davidbu33@kirawontmiss Yep! It’s already dead
Gigs are for those who do not need a boss and “fair pay”. They can manage this themselves and charisma goes along way in the tipping world!
When the fair pay people join the party instead of getting that W2, things get weird!
@Proverbzzz@kirawontmiss These apps should only be for the hustlers!
Those who get what being an independent contractor means
If you need a boss and fair pay, go get a W2 job!
@Fr0stTcg@kirawontmiss It used to be very profitable before desperation kicked in.
They opened the apps to a customer base that would never “tip”
And drivers are so desperate they will work for $2-$5.
The apps profit from the confusion and ignorance.
Also it’s not a job, it’s a hustle
@kirawontmiss Your fees pay for the operation of DD, not the driver.
The ONLY way a driver profits from completing a task with their personal resources —is after the person requesting the service pays for it (tip)
Independent contractors are responsible for their own business operations.
@kirawontmiss If drivers keep ‘hoping’ for tips, instead of insisting on it—-DD gets free labor AND resources.
They profit, the driver keeps trying.
If the customer believes they can receive service without paying for it (tipping) they continue to use the app—DD profits
@OcDarkKnight@kirawontmiss Tipping is not bonus income.
It is earned income for performing a REQUESTED, but nonessential task.
Drivers are not employees.
They are independent contractors using their personal resources in exchange for a tip, or payment for services requested.
@ellailonaaa@ItalianFiesta Race, in fact, is a social construct.
Social groups are based purely on power dynamics. It’s the reason for the social construction of them. Power divided up for order and control.
(Race, gender, socioeconomics)
Culture is based on shared language, art, religion, etc.
@Trish_21_NY@NewYorkStateAG@DoorDash@workersjusticep I definitely believe you.
Just suspect placement.
The entire setup is scammy, tbh. If DD scams the drivers, the drivers scam DD back.
It’s really is unfortunate that DD customers get caught up in all the scamming.
Unless they don’t tip—then they are scamming too.
Not you.
@vairulv @SIRENDAZE Black is a term used to describe skin color, true. The use of skin color to categorize social group’s definitely disempowers.
Since it’s so socially engrained, many people have celebrated their racial experience as heritage. It seems heritage is what is being discussed.
@FIREHUGE@SIRENDAZE Social groups refer memberships based on power dynamics (race, gender, socioeconomics)
Cultural groups refer to membership based on traditions, language, art, religion, etc
@FIREHUGE@SIRENDAZE Race is a social construct. Meaning society decides what race is and is not, not you personally. It is a social identity, not a personal identity.
Ethnicity is cultural identity based on shared values
Heritage is based on cultural roots, teachings, and personal experience
