So the job sucks, and nobody would do it if not for illegals, so they're not stealing anybody's jobs.Ģ) It's also a secret to me how delivery drivers manage to make any money. Then you need to go out and find the apartment - if you're on a car, you can get a ticket, if you're on moped, it may get stolen. If they do manage it somehow, they'll be moving very slow and risk to bump into somebody and get knocked out for that. And I don't know how some of them manage to drive their mopeds on sidewalks, cause NYC sidewalks are packed like a sardine jar. Driving moped in NYC traffic all day every day will get you killed eventually. ![]() ![]() If you're driving a moped, you're risking your life even more. Then drive your car in a bad traffic risking your life if you get into accident - factor in cost of car amortization, car insurance, gas. You have to find the restaurant, retrieve the order, if it's not ready yet, you have to wait. Option B is to have the feds bail them out with some cash and just try to do damage control…ġ) Very few New Yorkers would do food delivery for $17.96/h. Option A is to provide minimal support and have a bunch of disgruntled people starving in the streets, probably resulting in increased tension between them and the rest of the NYC populace. So then NYC decides, yeah we’re not gonna bus these people some other “Sanctuary City” like a game of hot potato, so we’re stuck with two options. So now, you have a shit ton of people who are completely new to a culture, some of whom don’t even speak English, just there. That doesn’t seem like it would be a likely path, for multiple reasons, so they say hey we’ll house some people and then they get stuck holding the bag when Abbott sends you 35k+ people. But really, if NYC or any big city wanted to drastically reduce immigration, the solution would be to just tell the southern states who are transporting migrants to the north to kick rocks and turn back around. Sure there’s a little bit of partisan-based animosity with Red versus Blue states or cities on viewpoint of immigration. I think it’s a little more convoluted than meets the eye and it’s really more of an path of least resistance / optics thing. They should tip us actually, because we’re the ones paying for their services while they mooch off the city without paying taxes. I hate the mopeds driving on the sidewalk, I hate that the delivery drivers are stealing jobs that would’ve gone to actual New Yorkers, I hate that they’re getting paid minimum wage when they’re not even legally allowed to work here. ![]() I’ll be honest, before this bill passed I still no tipped my Uber eats guy and you know what? It always got delivered on time, because the supply of workers is so large (because there’s so many illegal immigrants in NYC now). So in addition to minimum wage, they’re probably getting way more than minimum wage when you take into account all the services they get for free, despite not being a legal resident of this country. Keep in mind, we pay an obscene percentage in taxes, and a decent percentage of these taxes go to services that subsidize these drivers, who are almost all illegal immigrants using fake names/identities and driving illegal unregistered mopeds everywhere, including on the sidewalk. ![]() With the new delivery laws in NYC ($17.96 per hour minimum wage), does anyone else just not tip their Uber eats/seamless delivery guys? On the rare occasion I get a delivery person who’s actually from New York (this happens like 0.01% of the time now), I’ll make sure to tip like $10-20. And before you say “oh, this post is anti-immigrant or racist”, keep in mind that I am literally a first generation immigrant and am not white and certainly have faced racism and anti immigrant sentiment myself before.
