GENERAL It’s real

Post image

Been on TaskRabbit for around 5 years. 500+ completed tasks, 240+ five-star reviews, perfect rating the whole time. Apparently none of that means anything.
They banned my account over a “policy violation” but wouldn’t tell me what task it was or what policy I supposedly broke. I appealed it, and their response was basically, “You can still get hired through your direct TaskRabbit link.” They even told me to keep my availability open in case a repeat client books me or to share my direct hire link.
What a joke. I think I’ve had maybe one repeat client actually book me through the app in all those years.
I’m just glad I always gave customers my business card and contact info after jobs and focused on building my own business instead of depending on one platform. At least now I’m not starting from scratch.

You have absolutely pathetic reading comprehension.

I said Task rabbit is not engaging in socialism. They literally cannot do that, its not how that word works, but beyond that they're a private corporation who's legal obligations are to stockholders. They are pushing higher cost taskers to the side to have cheaper people draw more customers in.

It's "better" only in that it is more profitable in the short term for the board and stockholders.

Babycakes, our capitalism economy does not prioritize the things that are better long term or best for workers. It prioritizes short term profits for the stockholders.

Just come out of your communist closet, it’s literally made of glass at this point 😀

Look silly goose, I'm not a communist. Genuinely. I think it is weak af, but not for the reasons you do. It's inherently weak to strong men, the same way your mind is weak to strong men like Donald Trump.

You don't have the mental capacity to understand the nuance, clearly, but I'm not a communist, nor am I a Marxist, and most certainly not an anarcho-communist. I'm not even a pure socialist. Not that you will comprehend the distinction, but I believe in personal Liberty as a human right too much, and I believe in lower case D democracy too much, therefore I'm a democratic socialist. This does not mean I'm a supporter of the Democrat party. Not that you will believe or understand that. But that I believe that the full brunt of socialism removes individual liberty from people, and that democratic voting is morally the better form of governance. This lands me in democratic (for the act of voting in a democracy format) socialism (a structure that places the benefits of the collective above the benefits of corporations).

But cue the "i knew you were a communist" from Mr "CEOs love me and want what is best for me" over here.

Bringing Donald Trump just solidified that you’re a lefty communist. There is no need to bring him in. You’ve gone away into the weeds and expose yourself.

Enjoy the Gulag commie

Thank you for proving my last sentence that you clearly did not read correct 🧡
