    I’d see that tweet and say a broken clock is right twice a day.

    Its not a perfect solution, but its a manageable step in the right direction that immediately benefits workers following a path of least resistance.

    The perfect solution is to banish tipping and force employers to pay more. The reality of doing that, in an unguided way, is that Lyft/Uber would either pull out of NYC or find loopholes to stiff the worker. Forcing higher tip options is a quick solution, that’s easily implementable and enforcable, as a greater coalition builds of people believing in the government there will be less resistance to perfect solutions.

    But for now, something that tangibly benefits workers is a good thing, and it certainly isn’t a bad thing.

      pull out of NYC

      which would be a great thing tbh, but they would never pull out of such a big city. you could probably force them do double every salary overnight and they would still be able to afford it.
