Really proud to work with @LeonYin, @natlungfy and @DeniseDSLu on this one. Imagine having to constantly tap a button in an app all day to find out if you're allowed to work. That's what Uber/Lyft drivers in NYC had to do all summer (and Lyft still does).

NEW INVESTIGATION:
Uber and Lyft locked drivers out of work to game a NYC minimum wage law. We crowdsourced screenshots, monitored surge pricing and ran financial models to reveal the devastating impact on drivers. w/ @natlungfy @A_W_Gordon @DeniseDSLu

Really eye-opening report on how Uber and Lyft forced drivers to beg for work in NYC. DESIGNING SYSTEMS to deliberately keep people from making a living isn't innovation, it's exploitation.

This is what comes with it. They can afford getting taxed from Gopuff/Doordash so they don't gotta hit the bodegas the way lower income residents do. Too bad
