Seattle’s food app apocalypse

President Ronald Reagan loved to quip that the most terrifying words in the English language are: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Well, a Seattle City Council law designed to help app-based food delivery workers has backfired, cutting some workers’ pay in half and driving others out of the industry entirely.  First […]
