/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

A Doordash whistleblower posted on Reddit how their algorithm works.

<First off, the "Priority Delivery" is a total scam. It was pitched to us as a "psychological value add." Like I said in the title, when you pay that extra $2.99, it changes a boolean flag in the order JSON, but the dispatch logic literally ignores it. It does nothing to speed you up.
<We actually ran an A/B test last year where we didn't speed up the priority orders, we just purposefully delayed non-priority orders by 5 to 10 minutes to make the Priority ones "feel" faster by comparison. Management loved the results. We generated millions in pure profit just by making the standard service worse, not by making the premium service better.
<But the thing that actually makes me sick—and the main reason I’m quitting—is the "Desperation Score." We have a hidden metric for drivers that tracks how desperate they are for cash based on their acceptance behavior.
<If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as "High Desperation." Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: "Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?" We save the good tips for the "casual" drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.
<Then there is the "Benefit Fee." You’ve probably seen that $1.50 "Regulatory Response Fee" or "Driver Benefits Fee" that appeared on your bill after the recent labor laws passed. The wording is designed to make you feel like you're helping the worker.
<In reality, that money goes straight to a corporate slush fund used to lobby against driver unions. We have a specific internal cost center for "Policy Defense," and that fee feeds directly into it. You are literally paying for the high-end lawyers that are fighting to keep your delivery guy homeless.
<And regarding tips, we're essentially doing Tip Theft 2.0. We don't "steal" them legally anymore because we got sued for that. Instead, we use predictive modeling to dynamically lower the base pay.

Today a very much of fictitious "value" was loss on them Wall StreetZ thx to Trumpfgd's tariff's on Choynah. The US A"I" conglomerate is a complete bubble. Laydowns going on in the US. Real estate market status in US: fugged.

This is a pro-eggplant/brinjal/aubergine 🍆 thread and also anti-tomato 🍅 thread. Please respexts these common sense sensibilities. Thx.

ITT: we laugh at chud "memes" and refute their fallacious arguments with facts and logic.
We control all social medias, all the video games through our Terms of Services, we have almost fully defeated the chuds.

As blatant US aggression has been rising the past few months, from bombing Iran to colour revolutions (CIA coups) in South East Asia, trade war with China, escalations in Africa, genocides, stealing Venezuelan ships and striking Russian ones in international waters, the reaction globally has been basically non-existant. Nobody, and I mean nobody has been retaliating at all to discourage the US from this, well, terror campaign, even countries that would have more than enough means to hurt the US back. I'm not asking for war obviously, but there are many other things one could do. But instead, the world seems to have collectively decided to do nothing, which only appeases the US and encourages more aggression, because, as we know, Westerners interpret restraint as weakness.

What is the rationale behind this? I don't understand. Have all countries, run by various ideologies, suddenly lost their sense for self-preservation or is there some big 4D chess play I'm missing?

FYI.

Will China ever invade Taiwan 🇨🇳🇹🇼
Every few months China does some missile test and the western media goes nuts but nothing happens. Will Chy-Nah ever invade Chinese Taipei or will it be NATO-Cuck island forever?

Thread in which we discuss the latest aggression-based-on-lies by the USA against a country which did not attack it.

Now don't get me wrong, I hate Zionists with a passion, but what was Hamas trying to achieve? From what I know, Oct. 7th was their attempt to stop normalization between the Arab states and Israel. But given the track record of Arab puppet rulers being such treacherous cunts, it's not a surprise that the vast majority of them responded either with covert or even overt collaboration with Israel.

On top of that, the supposedly "based" countries sat around and did nothing. Russia abandoned Syria while Turkey brought a Zionist puppet terrorist to power there. Iran dropped a singular ICBM barrage on Tel Aviv to save face, after repeatedly getting humiliated. China and Russia didn't use their veto either, while simultaneously trading with Israel and profiting off of the genocide. Overall, trade with Israel continued as usual, no coordinated attempt was taken by the rest of the world to sanction them like how Russia was sanctioned by the west for attacking Ukraine.

I feel like I was duped by the Pro-Russia/Pro-China/Multipolarist alt-media complex on Xitter and YouTube into thinking that it was only a matter of time before Israel lost all credibility and diplomatic support, and that Iran would go to war with them and nuke the shit out of them any day. I thought maybe Russia and China would use it as an opportunity to finally get back at westoids and coordinate to greatly diminish westoid influence by crippling Israel at a time of need. Maybe that was the calculation that went on in the heads of Hamas leaders, I don't know.

The only real ones who stuck their neck out to try and help the Palestinians were the Houthis, who themselves have been under constant bombardment by Soydi Arabia and Burgerreich. Truly the era of the blackest reaction.

Probably the most important and radical contemporaneous Marxist

>Openly criticizes culture war
>Brings back class theory
>"The mistake past Marxists made is to believe that resistance against capitalism would as a group. In reality, people resist individually. Group resistance only happens through particular organization and circumstances"

The only modern Marxist worth listening to
