    We have a legal system that protects the rich and punishes the poor. Luigi gave us a taste of what the opposite could look like.

      Should I DM the mod of this community and double check if it’s okay for me to upvote? Oh silly me… this is lemmy. Of course it’s okay to upvote this fact of life!

    I wonder if you could create an argument for this blatant disparity and how punishments are meted out to show how penalties for shoplifting and personal theft crimes are cruel and unusual. If stealing 17 million comes with less penalty than stealing 1700 then the penalties for 1700 are therefore unusual right?

      I suppose step 1 in that line of thinking is ending prison slavery and the systemic violence prisoners and guards inflict on the incarcerated.

      Not that we can’t do two things at once…

    Good for them. And you’re not employees. It’s gig work. If you’re living off dashing you’re the loser.

    I’m sure this global company only did it in NY for some reason though, better not look into this globally. Wouldn’t want to do that now!
