@lpolgreen Assessed value not the same as market value. Assessed value of $1m on a condo/coop should be around $5m market value. But our antiquated property tax assessment system prob should fill us all with rage

@ykneo_ Don’t do this? Not funny

[Dan Ocampo @dan_ocampo1]

@Estarkmiller @admcrlsn Can you find out what the surface issue is on Dean between Carlton and Vanderbilt? It’s unbikeable and has been for over a year with crazy potholes and uneven road. Is it a structural issue?

The history of the 20th century in one line - the breakup of a monopoly at the beginning and its re-formation at the end

@RMFifthCircuit 100% agree, although it wasn’t any more acceptable when it was happening in Tehran, or in Gaza City for that matter

[Alex Vatanka @AlexVatanka]

Established in 1920, the Pasteur Institute of Iran in Tehran is historically significant as the oldest leading public health and vaccine production center in the Middle East - Now its bombed

[Dan Ocampo @dan_ocampo1]

@Rainmaker1973 Astoundingly historically inaccurate. The whole first 250 years totally wrong

@KaiserKuo @SinicaPodcast I love your stuff maybe I would, how much is it

[American Economic Liberties Project @econliberties]

NEW: @AMEmeritaTorres is backing a bill to BAN surveillance pricing in New York.

As concerns over individualized pricing rise, it's great to see lawmakers step up to pass commonsense reforms that protect consumers and workers from this dystopian pricing tactic.

[NY Taxi Workers @NYTWA]

Great meeting yesterday with NYTWA members, Commissioner @saalevine, and @helloDCWP who've been steadfast champions of drivers' rights to due process against unfair deactivations by Uber & Lyft! And our incredible @SpeakerMenin said she 💯has our backs! 💪 Onwards to Intro 276 veto override at the @NYCCouncil!

[Dan Ocampo @dan_ocampo1]

@suchnerve I love Zohran but to be clear he has nothing to do with this. This bill was passed over the summer and the rule published in December

[Samuel Levine @saalevine]

Uber and DoorDash quietly engineered a $550M pay cut for NYC delivery workers. @helloDCWP is blowing the whistle.

Starting this year, these tricks will be prohibited. We will be enforcing the law aggressively.

[NY Taxi Workers @NYTWA]

The @NYCCouncil just passed @voteshekar's historic just cause bill for Uber & Lyft drivers!

Our statement: Intro 276 sets the strongest standard for just cause protections for Uber and Lyft drivers in the country.

With this bill, we are asserting a simple truth: drivers have rights. This bill is about due process, but fundamentally it is also about the basic dignity every worker deserves.

(1/5)

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Spent Tuesday night with NYTWA drivers who are organizing to pass Intro 276—a bill that would end arbitrary deactivations. Right now, Uber and Lyft can cut off a driver's income for any reason or no reason at all, with no warning and no recourse. They are demanding an end to this, and I’m proud to stand with them.

Companies like Uber and Instacart shouldn’t be able to weaponize your data to set individualized algorithmic prices or wages. It’s bad for workers, it’s bad for consumers, and New York City should do something about it. My latest for @NYFiscalPolicy:

[Pat_Garofalo @Pat_Garofalo]

Great to team up with @paulsonn, @dan_ocampo1, and the @NelpNews team to write about how New York City should take on surveillance prices and wages for @NYFiscalPolicy's policy forum

[Dan Ocampo @dan_ocampo1]

The law just requires companies to offer a tipping option before checkout, rather than after your order is delivered. Both companies used to give consumers the option upfront but then switched as retaliation for the minimum pay laws passing a couple years ago

[Dan Ocampo @dan_ocampo1]

Uber and DoorDash now arguing that a new city law violates the First Amendment because it forces them to speak a “government-mandated message” about the “controversial subject” of tipping. This is the kind of stuff that should be sanctionable
